Vexcel Imaging Selects Jena Instrument as Distributor for Russia and CIS

  • Rating12345

Jena Instrument has entered into an agreement with Vexcel Imaging GmbH, a Microsoft® company, to distribute its UltraCam line of photogrammetric digital aerial cameras in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Under the terms of the agreement, Jena Instrument, one of the Russian geospatial leaders, will act as an authorized distributor in Russia and CIS, representing the UltraCam systems in that part of the world. Jena Instrument will also provide technical and customer support for existing and new customers in the region.

Commenting on the signing of the agreement, Inna Bartchan, Business Development Director stated, “Jena Instrument’s wide distributor network will allow for deeper market penetration of the UltraCam into the Russian and CIS region. Our focus within the industry has been to provide Russian customers with the latest in technological development and innovation, and our partnership with Vexcel Imaging GmbH and its parent company, Microsoft, will certainly enable us to continue to do so. By offering the UltraCam photogrammetric digital aerial mapping systems, Russian customers can serve markets whose principal applications require the highest resolution and accuracy.”

The current UltraCam cameras — the UltraCamX, UltraCamXp, UltraCamXp Wide Angle, and UltraCamL/Lp — are specifically designed for large-scale applications to meet the needs of the industry for higher resolution and accuracy, while providing different price point and performance options. For example, the UltraCamXp Wide Angle—winner of the GIS Development Technology Innovation Award for Photogrammetry at Geospatial World Forum 2011–takes advantage of the same superior camera concept and image quality as the UltraCamXp but features a proprietary high-resolution lens system with a shorter focal length. This camera allows lower-flying airplanes to collect data at the same ground sample distance (GSD) as higher-flying planes carrying the UltraCamXp, while delivering comparable image quality.

 

The UltraCamL/Lp digital aerial camera was selected winner of the Technology Innovation category in the 4th Annual MAPPS Geospatial Products and Services Excellence Awards competition in 2010. Innovative hardware, electronics and software result in a lighter, more compact camera system, so it is suitable for smaller aircraft and projects requiring a rapid response. The UltraCamL/Lp enables smaller companies to use a fully-digital approach to mapping without compromising photogrammetric accuracy or quality.

The UltraMap workflow software system provides a complete and integrated photogrammetric workflow for managing and processing vast quantities of UltraCam data. Aerial triangulation is integrated smoothly into the workflow, monolithic stitching significantly improves the geometric image accuracy for unstructured terrain, and highly automated project-based color balancing minimizes manual labor for adjusting the radiometry.
