‘AZICAM' Oblique Camera System

  30/06/2009
Getmapping has released details of its ‘AZICAM' oblique camera system. The system is used to capture sharp full colour oblique digital images of towns and cities. When combined with traditional vertical imagery and desktop software users have a rich multidimensional viewing environment, that can be explored, measured and even exported for use in presentations or as building blocks for full 3D modelling.
 

Getmapping Azicam

Getmapping are providing an all-in-one service to capture, process and supply imagery and software.

 

Developed over the last two years in close collaboration with Bath Spa University the Azicam takes a radical approach to oblique image capture. Instead of a normal four camera array used to take North, South, East and West (90°) orientations, the Azicam is a single-medium format digital camera mounted on a rotating plate or ‘spinner' driven by a precise friction motor to orient the camera for each shot. Navigational and recording GPS ensures accurate geo-location. 

 

Using a single higher-resolution camera delivers a wider area of coverage, better image quality and costs less to calibrate and maintain. The whole system will fit in an aircraft already configured for a single vertical camera installation.

 

Combined with existing vertical imagery and using MultiVision software, users can view any feature such as a building from 5 different angles simultaneously. The built-in tools make it possible to ascertain building heights, calculate elevation areas and the distance between features.

Indoor Augmented Reality with Bing Maps


During this presentation of Blaise Aguera during TED 2010, you can see Bing Maps working from the sky towards street-level imagery and also showing images inside buildings. It even is capable adding real-time movie imagery from inside.
