PCI's Historical Airphoto Processing (HAP) System - Tech TV Demo

In this episode, we process over 250 historical images from Saskatchewan (1962) that have been scanned but contain no georeferencing information. Through iterative (or multi-pass) processing, initial alignment to final orthorectification and mosaicking, the HAP system combines manual and automated steps to ensure high accuracy and quality is achieved in the final product.

Historical Airphoto Processing

Using modern, automated image correction methods to tap into valuable historical imagery.

Historical aerial photography archives contain valuable information that remains untapped. Digitally scanned and properly geo-referenced historical aerial imagery can bring this information to life, making it possible to analyze/visualize the historical information in modern GIS systems. These historical images can reveal hidden patterns, provide a deeper understanding of changes over time thus leading to better decision making.

PCI Geomatics offers a customized solution to automate the correction of historical imagery. With it, users can properly prepare historical data and set up workflows that will create perfectly aligned and orthorectified mosaics for use in numerous GIS applications.

Start realizing the value of your vast archives of historical airphoto imagery today and turn hundreds / thousands of archive images into GIS ready digital mosaics.
