Analog Cameras / Digital Image

DSW700 DIGITAL SCANNING WORKSTATION ( LEICA )The DSW700 is a high performance photogrammetric scanner, which reduces scanning and photogram handling times by half, thereby facilitating a faster delivery and superior geometric and radiometric quality.

General Characteristics:

- Faster scanning speed (for example, 12.5 b/w µ in 1.5 minutes, 12.5 µ

in colour in 3.5 minutes.

- Physically changeable pixel size in the range 4.5-22 µ m with a secondary

lens available for pixel sizes 3-4.5 µ m.

- High geometric precision

- Magnifies radiometric quality.

- The new optical technology eliminates Newton’s rings

- Image formats compatible with image processing, digital

photogrammetry, computer supported publication DAO and GIS

including JPEG 2000

General Characteristics:

- Resolution: 100 lppmm.- Excellent dimensional stability.- Suitable for all ranges of altitude and scales.- Excellent penetration through mist, fog and other

adverse atmospheric conditions. - Great image definition, and improved contrast.

Digital image quality = F ( CAMERA + FILM + SCANNER )

Lidar SensorsBASIC PRINCPLE

The LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system is a remote measurement laser system permitting fast and accurate modelling of the ground , composed of a GPS receiver and an inertial system (they provide the position, trajectory and orientation of the laser), an emitter, and a scanner, which enables a very dense and accurate cloud of points to be obtained with XYZ coordinates.
