What resolution does AEROCam offer?
Resolution is a comparison of pixel size in the image to the actual distance in meters on the ground. To obtain an image with a one meter resolution, the aircraft has to fly 6,000 feet above the ground (AGL). This creates an image where one pixel equals one meter in actual distance on the ground. To create a higher resolution, the aircraft flies lower to the ground and to create a lower resolution image the aircraft flies higher above the ground. AEROCam images are offered in 1 meter, 1.5 meter, or 2 meter resolutions. It may be possible to collect higher resolution images such as 0.5 meter or .25 meter, but are done on a case by case basis. Site characteristics such as elevation, topography, landmarks, etc. will be considered when determining whether or not we will be able to collect the images at a higher resolution. In selecting the desired image resolution, there are many factors to consider. At 0.5 meter resolution, AEROCam is required to fly over the site at 3,000 ft Above Ground
