Data acquisition
All of the C3 products are based on high-resolution photography captured with carefully calibrated cameras. For every picture, the positions and angles of the cameras are calculated with extremely high precision, using an advanced navigation system. This is what enables C3 to give each pixel its geographical position with very high accuracy.
The Realistic 3D City Modles are calculated directly from aerial images and is not dependent of any laser scanned data (LIDAR). The street view imagery is captured using an advanced multiple camera system with overlapping viewing angles to capture the entire surroundings in stereo
For rapid production scaling of aerial content C3 have choosen to use a standard camera system that can be used inside standard aitcrafts. With this approach C3 are able to contract flight operator partners world wide to acquire the requested images. Cloning a camera system for production in a specified area is manageable within 2 months and thus new areas can be captured rapidly. For inquiries of becoming a flight operation partner in a specific area of the world please contact us.
