A photogrammetric digital camera is an instrument that allows, through an electronic image sensor (a set of CCD's), to obtain metric digital images directly.STEREOCARTO has the technical means to capture and process photogrammetric data.



In particular STEREOCARTO has these large-format digital cameras:

- Leica ADS40 SH52 Sensor

- DMC Intergraph  

ADS40 SH52 Leica

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
- Linear sweep technology (pushbroom). 12 CCD linear sensors, 12.000 pixel each.
    * 4 pancromatic CCD: 27 degrees forward view, 16 degrees backward
    view, two nadiral views with an overlapping of 3,25 microns.
    * 2 x 4 multispectral CCD (red, green, blue and near infrared), with both
    a nadiral and 16 degree backward views.
- Spectral bands without overlap.
- Focal: 62,7 mm. f/4.
- Pixel size: 6,5 microns
- GSD of 10 cm at 950 m of height.
- FOV: 64 degrees
- Stereo angles: 14, 27 and 41 degrees.
- Without shutter.
- Precision greater than 10 cm with direct orientation by means of differential GPS/INS using reference stations, including Ground Control Points and aerotriangulation.
- Precision of about 1 m with direct GPS/INS orientation by means of precise ephemerides without Ground Control Points nor aerotriangulation.

- Images direct orientation

AVAILABLE FORMATS:
- Panchromatic, RGB, and 3 and 4 channels near infrared TIFF images.
- 8 or 12 bit images.

APPLICATION OF DIGITAL CAMERAS
- Photogrammetric restitution for obtaining digital cartography.
- Digital photogrammetry: Orthophotos and True-Orthophotos
- Photo-interpretation
- Metric information files
- Environmental studies by using images representing the 4 channels during classification.
- Digital cameras are usually combined with LiDAR technology obtaining further products.

In general, digital cameras are good in tasks related with photogrammetry, cartography and photo-interpretation. In particular, it is the best technology for massive digital cartographic production with short-time schedules and high-performance requirements. Colour and infrared images are of high interest in environmental, agricultural and forestry studies.
