Acquisition & Base Mapping

HOME > What We Do > ACQUISITION & BASE MAPPING

A critical phase of any project is the efficient, on-time collection of consistent, high-quality data. This is the foundation for generating accurate digital base maps and other derivative data products. Sanborn utilizes extensive, wholly-owned resources to ensure data acquisition in a timely manner. Our resources include multiple aircraft, vehicles, survey equipment, and sensor systems for various data collection requirements. All systems are equipped with AGPS/IMU units to collect position and direct exterior orientation data during the mission.

Sanborn has been at the forefront of the digital mapping revolution as it applies to the GIS and remote sensing industry, and continues to make new investments in the latest sensor technologies. This ensures that we can provide our customers with the most efficient data acquisition processes combined with the best production methodologies. Prior to purchasing any new technology, our R&D group takes significant time to review accuracy, aesthetic quality, reliability, repeatability, and production efficiency. In addition, Sanborn senior management mandates that new technology (in comparison to existing technology) must deliver better value to Sanborn customers before investments will be made.
