3D Mapping from a new perspective

What is 3D Mapping?
The high resolution 3D Models captured by the Airbus airship ALTAIR and enriched with various data processing capabilities, enable smart decision-making in growing and complex urban environments.
Where satellite imagery focuses on the “big picture”, providing models with a global coverage, airborne photography enables higher accuracy at centimetre level, generated locally.
The geo-referenced 3D Models are captured with optical or thermal sensors by the Airbus airship. The low flying platform is key, to provide highly precise maps with an accuracy of 1cm. It is certified to fly over urban environments and critical infrastructure, which makes it a unique solution for aerial mapping with a high area coverage.
- Multiple layers: sensors for thermal and optical 3D maps combined with customised layers
- High accuracy: 1cm GSD, nearly 1:1 to reality thanks to the airship data capture technology
- Tailored approach: Production on-demand for your area of interest, certified for low altitude flights over cities and critical infrastructure
Your advantages with ultra-precise 3D Mapping
Save time and costs with a 1:1 digital reality of your area of interest
Conduct your measurements virtually thanks to trusted, 1cm accuracy
Get unique insights for places, where drones cannot fly with high aerial coverage
The optical or thermal models are enriched with post processed data analytics, which include
Change detection
High resolution 3D model layer that compares two models of the same location captured at two different points in time and detects changes, such as infrastructure or construction changes
Measurements and simulation
Layer that can calculate 2D or 3D measurements, such as the distance from one point to another
Object parametrisation
Parametric representation of a point on a high resolution 3D
Viewshed analysis
Representation of a high frequency signal propagation or Viewshed analysis, based on HD 3D Maps
Automatic object classification
Representation of an AI-based object classification detecting cars
Surface analytics
Analysing surface quality, road signs, damages, cracks and other abnormalities
The highly accurate mapping products, in combination with layer techniques, allow for very precise measurements and analytics.
They are an extremely accurate digital basis on which to conduct infrastructure planning, change detection and simulations for many application areas such as the construction sector, energy management or urban mobility.
How to get access?
We support both: on premise data delivery as well as cloud-based solutions on a ready to use application. The models can also be integrated into existing customer solutions via API.
“We are ready to scale, are you?”
Our sales team will be happy to provide you with more information about ultra-precise 3D Mapping and how it can meet your business needs.
What our customers say
Wir haben mit dem Luftschiff ALTAIR eine sehr interessante Plattform für großflächige Vermessungen und Inspektionen aus der Luft gefunden. Das Luftschiff ermöglicht uns urbane Gebiete in niedrigen Höhen zu überfliegen und dadurch eine außerordentlich hohe Auflösung zu erreichen. With the Airbus Airship ALTAIR we have found an excellent platform for large area scans and inspections in urban environments. Due to the high safety level we can operate in low altitudes, and achieve an extraordinary resolution
