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 Mobile Mapping VanSanborn 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.

Sanborn acquisition platforms deliver:

  • High resolution multi-spectral imagery
  • 5-way oblique aerial imagery
  • High resolution Aerial LiDAR point cloud data
  • High resolution Mobile LiDAR point cloud data
  • Survey functionality for parcel and utility data conversion

Acquisition Personnel

The vast experience and expertise our people bring to every project help us leverage the technology we invest in. To ensure that we deliver the best products and services for our clients, Sanborn aircrews and system operators undergo regularly scheduled training for all imagery and data acquisition systems we employ.

If your project requires traditional base mapping, LiDAR, data conversion, emergency response, or Unmanned Aerial System Acquisition, Sanborn has the right people and the latest technology to support your deliverables.
