Baltimore, MD, USA -Vexcel Imaging, GmbH-Microsoft’s Photogrammetry division has announced the availability of the UltraCamLp medium format digital aerial photogrammetric camera at 2009 annual American Society for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing (ASPRS) conference in Baltimore.
The announcement comes just 8 months after its predecessor, the UltraCamL, was announced from the XXIst International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Congress in Beijing.
Based on the UltraCamL, the UltraCamLp features the same technical specifications but boasts an even larger format collection at 92 megapixels (11,704 x 7,920 pixels pan) compared to the UltraCamL 64 megapixel format, making it the largest-footprint medium format camera system on the market and ideal for smaller aircraft and local projects that require a rapid response. This image format capability is made possible through new electronics and a smaller CCD array of just 6 µm.
