AIMS multi-modal aerial camera is the only aerial photography equipment in the world that can simultaneously acquire orthographic, oblique, laser point cloud and hyperspectral images, which solves the problems of low efficiency, high cost, slow processing speed and difficult data fusion in the construction of new basic mapping and 3D real scene in China. With a 0.2-meter resolution as an example, a single sortie can acquire 3,000 square kilometers in a day and 30,000 square kilometers in a month (considering weather factors). The data obtained by the same flight does not need coordinate point conversion, which greatly enhances the analysis, utilization and sharing value between different modal data, and improves the efficiency of data acquisition and processing.
Up to now, two AIMS multi-modal aerial cameras have completed the acquisition of digital aerial images of more than 10,000 square kilometers. The digital orthophoto image and digital elevation model are made by using large format down view image and laser point cloud. By tilting the image, the real 3D model and monomer model are made to meet the requirements of terrain level and city level real 3D scene at one time. The results fully meet the accuracy requirements of the aerial survey standards, and have been widely used in the fields of national new basic surveying and mapping, real 3D China construction, digital twin, etc., especially in the pilot areas of national new basic surveying and mapping system construction, such as Wuhan, Ningxia and Hong Kong 3D digital mapping service projects have played an effective role, and the social benefits are very significant.
