Lantmäteriet Purchases UltraCam Eagle

The programme collects approximately 33% of Sweden, 150,000 km2, each year at 0.5 metre GSD, and some localities and regions at 0.25 metre GSD.

Mr. Bengt Kjellson, Lantmäteriet’s director general, said that recent technological developments in communication, visualisation and smart devices are making aerial photography increasingly important for Lantmäteriet in a number of areas. Landmäteriet is to replace our old cameras and take advantage of the progress that has been made in imaging, electronics and photogrammetry.

Mr. Mikael R. Johansson, production manager for Aerial Photography, Lantmäteriet, finds the integrated “all-in-one” system simpler, easier to use and less expensive than previous cameras. He expects to be able to use air hours more effectively, while improving the quality of the products.
