Imagemaps Sells First UltraCamXp Wide Angle Sensor to GeoForce Technologies Top

For Immediate Release 5 Jan 2010—Imagemaps Pte Ltd is pleased to announce that the company has signed a purchase agreement with GeoForce Technologies Co., Ltd. of Taiwan to upgrade an UltraCamD to an UltraCamXp Wide Angle large format digital aerial camera system.

"This is the first unit of the newest UltraCam sold.” said Lee Sze Keong, director of Imagemaps Pte Ltd."GeoForce Technologies will use the UltraCamXp Wide Angle to serve its existing customers, including agencies , the central government, academic and research institutions, and the telecommunications industry."

"This upgrade to the UltraCamXp Wide Angle was an easy decision for us," said Robert Hsu, President of GeoForce Technologies. "We appreciate the UltraCam heritage, and the UltraCamXp Wide Angle has the right combination of large area coverage and high radiometric and geometric quality for our customers. We are also confident of Imagemaps Pte Ltd expertise and support for this project ."

"We are pleased that GeoForce Technologies is continuing its legacy as an innovative company by selecting the UltraCamXp Wide Angle to support its projects," said Alexander Wiechert, Business Director of Microsoft and Managing Director for Vexcel Imaging GmbH.

The new Microsoft UltraCamXp Wide Angle large format digital aerial camera takes advantage of the same innovative camera concept and image quality as the UltraCamXp but features a new proprietary, digital, high-performance, high-resolution lens system with a shorter focal length. This allows the latest UltraCam sensor to deliver the same ground sample distance (GSD) as the UltraCamXp, but at lower flight altitudes. An alternative to the UltraCamXp and at the same price, the UltraCamXp Wide Angle provides small-scale mapping capabilities to customers with lower-flying airplanes. The UltraCamXp Wide Angle provides the same large image format as the UltraCamXp at 196 megapixels (17,310 across track x 11,310 along track), and a pixel size at 6 ?m. It integrates fully with existing UltraCamXp and UltraCamX storage and computing systems and is fully supported by Vexcel Imaging’s UltraMap 2.0 workflow software system.

Microsoft’s Vexcel Imaging GmbH Releases the UltraCamXp Wide Angle Top

Graz, Austria — Vexcel Imaging GmbH announces the release of the UltraCamXp Wide Angle, a new version of the UltraCam large format digital aerial camera system that features a wide-angle lens with a shorter focal length. The UltraCamXp Wide Angle allows lower-flying airplanes to collect data at the same ground sample distance (GSD) as higher-flying planes carrying the UltraCamXp, while delivering comparable image quality.

The large image format of the UltraCamXp Wide Angle is identical to that of the UltraCamXp at 196 megapixels, or 17,310 across track and 11,310 along track panchromatic pixels. The pixel size is 6 µm, and geometric accuracy is better than +/- 2 µm. Post-processing can be started on board and completed on the ground with a laptop or group of PC’s for faster turnaround. The new Wide Angle model also is fully compatible with the storage (DXp) and computing (CXp) systems of the UltraCamX and UltraCamXp, and is fully supported by Vexcel’s UltraMap workflow software system, so existing customers can add an UltraCamXp Wide Angle to their resources without purchasing additional hardware and software. UltraCamD and UltraCamX customers are eligible for upgrade to the UltraCamXp Wide Angle via trade-ins.

The UltraCamXp Wide Angle digital camera is capable of collecting stereo imagery at a 1-inch GSD at a flight speed of 110 knots, a remarkable technical achievement. Photogrammetric and remote sensing applications for imagery collected by the UltraCamXp Wide Angle include large-scale engineering mapping, high-resolution orthophoto production, multi-ray photogrammetry, feature extraction and classification.

"The UltraCamXp Wide Angle offers customers with lower-flying planes exceptional small-scale mapping capabilities,” explained Alexander Wiechert, Business Director of Microsoft and Managing Director for Vexcel Imaging GmbH. “A combination of the largest PAN footprint available and the ability to collect data at a rate of 2.5 Gbits per second means mapping projects can be completed in less time at lower costs."
