Additional Support for Phase One iXA Aerial Camera System

IGI, Germany, and Phase One, USA, have announced that the flight planning software, IGIplan, and the flight guidance and sensor management system, CCNS-5, now support the Phase One iXA aerial camera system. The iXA is addressed through the generic camera interface implemented in the CCNS-5. The systems thus greatly reduce the operational costs associated with aerial surveys and aerial image collection.

This geospatial solution was made especially for aerial photography. Operators can focus on their work in the office while the solution minimises the workload during the airborne mission.

The Phase One iXA, a rugged, high-quality industrial-grade aerial camera system, is operated by end users and applied by OEM integrators. Specifically, the iXA is gaining traction as a major component in oblique camera setups and in the UAV market. Available with up to 80 megapixel or Achromatic models, the iXA is designed to be easily incorporated into existing or new systems. IGI extends the iXA series to a smart solution for aerial photography offering imagery at pre-planned positions.
