Aerial Photos
We take aerial photos and document research areas, monuments or excavation sites comprehensively and in high resolution with a single survey flight.
Photogrammetry Flights and Aerial Archaeology
Gathering Raw Data
- aerial survey by helicopter, small or ultralight aircraft
- aerial survey by drone (multirotor) with SLR-camera (only for small areas)
- recording with high resolution digital images
- most common image resolution: </= 10 cm/ground pixel
Processing Image Data
- image optimization and adjustment (color, contrast, brightness)
- Image rectification and optimization of georeferencing
- computation of image mosaics
Data Delivery
- orthophotos (RGB)
- position and altitude accuracy in the cm range
- in blocks of 0,5/1 km²
- TIFF-format with TFW
- aerial image mosaic
- CAD-maps
- GIS-software Global Mapper
As additional options, we can now also offer you other multisensor technologies depending on the project:
- thermal camera (thermal images)
- hyperspectral camera (chemical-physical properties)
Models with reference to our work / SFM aerial image archaeology
ArcTron – Airborne Sensing GmbH, with aerial archaeologist Martin Schaich, has been carrying out archaeological flights in the southern part of Baden-Württemberg since 2016. The project is part of a flying assignment commissioned the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments at the Stuttgart Regional Council. On one hand, the focus is on the discovery and 2D and 3D documentation of new archaeological features and monuments. On the other hand, Schaich is continuously taking the opportunity to fly a few extra circles around historical buildings in order to document them fundamentally in three dimensions. Thus we were able to provide sufficient image material to calculate also many castles in Baden-Württemberg.
