Aerometrex has established aviation operations to support its aerial surveys. The company bought its first aircraft in 2014 and now operates a fleet of multiple aircraft.
Aerometrex has also outsourced its aircraft requirements for the MetroMap program’s aerial imagery capture requirements, but continues to operate with its own sensors and operators. Hired helicopters are also used by the business for our high-resolution 3D modelling product across Australia and the US.
This strategy has not only secured a vital supply requirement but has resulted in a substantial improvement in operating margin. Aerometrex will continue to operate a core fleet of aircraft to maintain an optimal balance of owned-and-operated fleet, in addition to chartered aircraft.
Aerometrex owns and operates a range of large-format aerial mapping cameras and LiDAR sensors.
Aerial mapping camera systems include the UrbanMapper and DigiCam from IGI, as well as Vexcel Imaging’s Ultracam and Visionmap’s A3 Edge. The cameras we operate are selected to offer our customers the most reliable and high-quality imagery, with efficiency and accuracy. They are equipped with gyro-stabilised mounts and Inertial Motion Units (IMUs) to capture exceptional quality, near-vertical, 4-band imagery, both in nadir and oblique views.
Within the LiDAR operations, Aerometrex uses the RIEGL VQ-780ii, which is a high-performance, airborne mapping sensor designed for efficient data acquisition at low, mid, and high altitudes, covering a variety of different airborne laser scanning applications from high-density to wide area mapping. Aerometrex LiDAR systems can be partnered with a Phase One IXU-1000 RS medium-format aerial camera, which captures colour imagery in parallel with the LiDAR data.
Aerometrex uses the high-end photogrammetric software suite INPHO from Germany and Lightspeed from Visionmap for image data processing. For LiDAR, data extraction and conversion to LAS/LAZ are done using RIEGL’s suite of software within the RiProcess server. LiDAR swaths are compressed and aligned using a combination of LASTools and Bayesmap strip align software. For GNSS & Navigation data processing, Aerometrex uses the Applanix Pospac software suite.
Client Base
Aerometrex is a valued participant of the major State and Federal Government panels of aerial imagery providers, and routinely performs major government contracts to a very high standard. The company’s services are also in heavy demand by many private sector industries with projects executed & delivered across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia.
Experience
Aerometrex has conducted major aerial imagery programs in Australia for Microsoft, with its Bing Maps Ultracam Osprey oblique camera program for every Australian capital city, and for Google Earth, with its Australia/NZ Cities 3D mapping program. Some of the largest aerial surveys undertaken in Australia have been acquired and processed by Aerometrex. These include the Galilee Basin survey of 115,000 sq. km. for the Queensland Government, the Western Victoria aerial survey of 73,500 sq. km. for the Victorian Government, and a series of cross-continental linear corridor surveys of 9,000 km for Visionstream Pty Ltd.
