"Our customers will experience a significant improvement in their visualization of properties coast-to-coast—and in Hawaii—to an unprecedented level," said Erik Jorgensen, CEO of Vexcel Group. "We've already been the largest provider of aerial imagery in the U.S., and now we're enhancing our collection with more ortho aerial imagery at 7.5cm resolution. By providing more imagery in more places with greater currency, we're increasing the capacity for better decision-making across the board for all our customers."
Nationwide imagery – from urban to rural areas
Vexcel's existing U.S. footprint already includes coverage across the Lower 48 with 7.6 million km2 in its collection and 99.6% population coverage. This makes it the largest collection program of its kind renowned for its unmatched accuracy, high-resolution imagery, and consistency. Its 2023 collection program adds more imagery and geospatial data to its comprehensive library across urban and rural areas in the Lower 48 states and Hawaii, refreshing 93% of the population with new imagery.
In urban areas, Vexcel will capture orthomosaic imagery up to three times throughout the year, twice at 7.5cm resolution and once at 15cm resolution. This equates to 1.5M km2 of 7.5cm imagery captured in 2023, covering nearly 87% of the U.S. population. Smaller populated areas and rural regions will be refreshed at 15cm for 2023. Oblique imagery will also be refreshed across urban areas at 7.5cm resolution, covering nearly 70% of the U.S. population, providing multiple views of every property.
This U.S. collection program provides customers with more views across more places with more detail, at scale, and multiple times per year. The expansion supports better project planning and asset management, enabling users to track change over time with consistency, validate ground conditions, and perform enhanced remote assessments.
Trusted Accuracy at an Unprecedented Scale
Vexcel publishes Oblique, TrueOrtho, and Ortho imagery in urban areas at 7.5cm resolution. Its Ortho imagery is available across the contiguous U.S. up to 15cm resolution. And elevation models (DSM/DTM) are available across the U.S. Imagery is captured with award-winning UltraCam sensors from Vexcel Imaging, a business unit of the Vexcel Group. All aerial data is positioned against ground control points for unmatched accuracy and quality.
Vexcel has the largest annual aerial imagery collection in the U.S., up to 5 times more coverage than its competition. This imagery is delivered with a resolution, accuracy, and consistency that sets the standard for photogrammetry excellence.
