Analog Cameras / Digital Image
DSW700 DIGITAL SCANNING WORKSTATION ( LEICA )The DSW700 is a high performance photogrammetric scanner, which reduces scanning and photogram handling times by half, thereby facilitating a faster delivery and superior geometric and radiometric quality.
General Characteristics:
- Faster scanning speed (for example, 12.5 b/w µ in 1.5 minutes, 12.5 µ
in colour in 3.5 minutes.
- Physically changeable pixel size in the range 4.5-22 µ m with a secondary
lens available for pixel sizes 3-4.5 µ m.
- High geometric precision
- Magnifies radiometric quality.
- The new optical technology eliminates Newton’s rings
- Image formats compatible with image processing, digital
photogrammetry, computer supported publication DAO and GIS
including JPEG 2000
General Characteristics:
- Resolution: 100 lppmm.- Excellent dimensional stability.- Suitable for all ranges of altitude and scales.- Excellent penetration through mist, fog and other
adverse atmospheric conditions. - Great image definition, and improved contrast.
Digital image quality = F ( CAMERA + FILM + SCANNER )

Lidar SensorsBASIC PRINCPLE
The LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system is a remote measurement laser system permitting fast and accurate modelling of the ground , composed of a GPS receiver and an inertial system (they provide the position, trajectory and orientation of the laser), an emitter, and a scanner, which enables a very dense and accurate cloud of points to be obtained with XYZ coordinates.
