Aerial Image Types With the AFS150 you can process all aerial image types - both automatic film rolls and single images

Historical aerial images

Since the beginning of the 20th century, aerial photographs were taken from airplanes. This type of analog imagery did not end until the first decade of the 21st century. During these 100 years or so, millions of aerial images were taken.

Currently, most of the images are still on film or photos in archives - all over the world. Mostly they are stored on roll film and sometimes they are in the archives as individual images. With the outdated, slow film scanner technology, it is hardly possible to digitize these valuable contemporary documents within a few years.

What's needed is a much faster technology – what's needed is the AFS 150!

Phase One Phase One

The heart of the AFS150

An acromatic frame camera from Phaseone is installed in the scanner. The iXM-MV150F has 150 Mpixel.

The AFS150 does not require image stitching.

Geometrical calibration helps to get high accuracies characteristics for scan area. The achromatic Phaseone camera has a recognized excellent image quality with 14 Bit and a dynamic range of 84 dB.

Colors

Colored aerial images

Colored aerial images are generated by the AFS150 as combination of 3 individual images. So the red and green and blue image has the full resolution of 150 MPixel.

The final image is a Tiff file as RGB with full color and up to 42 bit color depth.

The AFS150 works without pansharpening!
