In May of this year a new 10 cm resolution aerial imagery survey of Central London was completed. The imagery captured, using the latest digital aerial imagery technology, is the most up to date and highest resolution survey being brought to market.

Summer (or full leaf) capture produces clear, bright imagery and reduces the affect of long shadows, which can obscure ground features often found in aerial imagery captured in the winter. Using digital cameras the aerial survey of Central London was captured in five-second intervals and was completed in less than four hours; this rapid data collection method ensures highly consistent imagery, minimising the affect of shadow.

Historic aerial imagery client, Flashback Television, producers of factual entertainment programmes, has been put forward for Emmy Primetime 2007 Award nomination.

The Monte Cassino episode of The Lost Evidence series, broadcast on The History Channel, has been proposed in the category of Special Visual Effects. The Monte Cassino episode is a stunning reconstruction of the desperate, costly Allied push to capture Rome from the Nazis following Mussolini's surrender.

The Historic division of The GeoInformation Group was contacted to source historic aerial imagery to enhance the production. As experts in historic aerial imagery we sourced frame data on aerial roll-film, exposed during reconnaissance missions of Monte Cassino, from a repository in Kansas, USA. We then discovered that these flights had been designed to collect horizon-to-horizon imagery from three different camera positions, which was invaluable in creating an animated fly-through of the area.

We now offer Near Infrared (NIR) imagery as part of our Cities Revealed geographic information and aerial imagery solutions. NIR imagery provides the perfect compliment to standard vertical aerial imagery, seeing beyond the visible spectrum.

NIR imagery can be used for commercial and environmental applications in both rural and urban areas. By providing information on the extent of vegetation, types and health of plants and trees it can be used to support advanced crop management and analysis of ground vegetation. In urban areas, NIR imagery can be used to measure open space, analyse types of green space, and supports habitat conservation programmes. It can also be used to evaluate the canopy size and location of trees, their relationship with surrounding buildings and the potential for subsidence. NIR imagery is captured simultaneously with digital aerial imagery meaning that it is perfectly consistent with the accompanying digital aerial photography. Cities Revealed aerial imagery is captured through the summer when the vegetation is in full leaf, providing the ideal time to capture NIR data for more accurate interpretation and analysis.
