汉萨Luftbild Starts Flying Season with New UltraCam

汉萨Luftbild has purchased a new UltraCam Eagle Mark 3 system to continue to meet customer requirements. “The UltraCam Eagle Mark 3 is our flagship and the perfected version of its predecessor models. All important components have been improved,” is how Jörg Haupt, chairman of the board of Hansa Luftbild AG, describes the most innovative camera system the company owns.

The UltraCam Eagle M3 allows汉萨Luftbild在飞行高度和地面采样距离（GSD）方面的巨大灵活性。“为了进行精确的评估，我们从2500米的高度捕获了10厘米的GSD。这在欧洲人口稠密的地区尤其重要，这也是由于空中交通管制和环境问题。”

汉萨Luftbild has been relying on cameras from Vexcel Imaging in Graz, Austria, for almost a decade. With the UC-Xp, the Eagle M1 and M2, hundreds of thousands of square kilometres were captured in Germany and abroad, and digital terrain models, (true) orthophotos or 3D city models were delivered to customers.

Radiometric resolution

Vexcel Imaging succeeded in further developing the applied electronics. Thanks to new technology, theUltraCam Eagle M3attains a radiometric resolution of more than 7,500 gray values by having a pixel size of 4.0µm. The pan-sharpening ratio of 1:3 and an SNR of >72dB achieves impressive radiometric results. The image footprint has also been further increased compared to the previous model. The UltraCam Eagle Mark 3 generates a high-resolution 4-band image (RGBI) with a pixel size of 26,460 x 17,004. The area captured on the ground depends on the flight altitude. With a ground resolution of 10cm, an area of 2.6km x 1.7km can be mapped. Together with the forward motion compensation (TDI), the gyro-stabilized mounts fromSomag, the proven GNSS/INS systems fromIgi该公司的双室调查飞机Hansa Luftbild能够从字面上满足每个客户的需求。

"Thus we can fly quickly, economically and flexibly for our customers, even over very large areas," Jörg Haupt concluded.
