How a Site File is Created

A Site File integrates an orthophoto of a site with its associated oblique photos. For most relevant geographic locations, orthophotos are available from mapping archives. Obliques can be taken from any type of plane or light aircraft with any type of camera (digital, film, mapping, non-mapping, etc.). New oblique photos are taken according to a pre-determined flight plan the same as for any other aerial photography project. New acquisition of oblique photos for a mid-sized city requires only a few flight hours.

Once the orthophoto and the obliques are in place, the images are processed into a complete site file. This is a simple, short procedure that may take from several hours to a couple of days. The complete Site File is integrated with the MultiVision viewer, downloaded onto a CD and sent to the customer.
