Expertise

The best global orthoimagery

Our reliable Ground Control Points (GCPs) solution (50,000 in Archive) increases spatial accuracy of your projects.

GCPs are an essential input for precise orthorectification of remotely-sensed imagery, exact target locations, image and mapping data quality assessment, photogrammetric mapping, as well as acting as a fundamental building block of Geographic Information System (GIS) development.

As a partner of the leading satellite and aerial imagery companies, we can streamline the acquisition of image data for your project area.

Orthoimagery or orthorectified imagery is aerial or satellite imagery which has been geometrically corrected. Geometric correction, or orthorectification, is necessary to adjust for topographic relief, camera tilt and lens distortion. An orthorectified image is a very accurate representation of the Earth’s surface and allows for the measurement of true distance, exact placement of geographic symbols and precise digitization.

Example of an orthorectified image, Honolulu International Airport.

Because CompassData owns more Ground Control Points (GCPs) than any other commercial outlet in the world, we have a unique master database to help facilitate our orthorectification process.

Since 1994 CompassData has been collecting precise ground control points to support aerial and satellite image production. The GCPs in the CompassData archive have all passed rigorous quality-control procedures. The use of these GCPs in the orthorectification process results in increased accuracy (Sub-Meter) and overall quality of our orthoimagery. CompassData is capable of accessing or acquiring high accuracy points anywhere in the world to be used as reference points in the orthorectification process. We can produce high quality orthos for virtually any location and perform a variety of specialized processing, including:

Orthorectification
Planimetric (GIS) Feature Extraction
LiDAR Data QA/QC
Elevation Modeling
3-D Visualization
GIS and Image Web Distribution

In addition to being a producer of sub-meter orthoimagery, CompassData is an authorized reseller of DigitalGlobe imagery. DigitalGlobe is a commercial vendor of geospatial content, aerial images and high resolution satellite images.
