Conventional and ‘Satlevel’ collocation model for production of contour map
Kamorudeen Folorunso Aleem, Hatem Alghamdi and Maher Mahmoud Khayyat
In this study, levelled heights were established along with GPS observation in some parts of Yanbu Industrial city to model the geoid in the study area. We have coordinated some of the points collocated with both GNSS and levelling in the area... [more]
  
  INTERVIEWS  
  "UltraMap is such an impressive workfl ow system for image processing with a rich and innovative feature set and breathtaking software technology such as Dragonfly. We are successful because our customers are successful with our products" - Alexander Wiechert, Microsoft Vexcel Imaging GmbH  
  "Simplicity and ease of use is the key to the success of our drones! Our team has spent a lot of time creating and developing powerful autonomous 2D and 3D mapping tools, which can be operated by anyone with very little training required" - Andrea Hildebrand, senseFly
