- Camera, lens, sensor and equipment calibration reports, as well as serial numbers of equipment used, and technical flight data
- Trajectory reports for airborne IMU/GNSS data
- Statement of conformance to accuracy standards, whether they are client generated, or nationally accepted standards.
- Deliverables and data, including contact prints, digital orthophotos and other files, as well as PDF or hard copies of drawings
- Proof of surveying methodologies, including equipment used, control ties, control point datasheets, control diagrams and reference ties, photographs for measurement point confirmation and placement of markers at the point of observation for QA/QC follow up observations
Expand the services
requested
Finally, don’t be afraid to expand the services
requested. Our staff includes personnel that bring special skills to the table,
including compiling data in AutoCAD, MicroStation, and proprietary GIS formats.
On the surface, an engineer may need hard data for his design, but much of the
data that is collected during a mapping project is directly usable in a GIS
database. Utility mark-out can now easily be seen in our imagery when it is
planned for, and the ability to mine our imagery and LiDAR datasets for
additional information is not widely appreciated.
Contact AXIS today for any of the above on your next aerial mapping project.
