iXU-RS1900 Aerial Camera

Frederiksberg, DK

Description

Phase One 190MP Aerial Camera series is the latest Phase One innovation to offer large format metric camera functionality. The iXU-RS1900 dual lens aerial camera is an advanced large format metric camera, with technology designed specifically for the toughest demands of aerial imaging projects.. Developed with leading experts and engineers in the field, the iXU-RS1900 offers exceptional imaging/ aerial coverage, high accuracy and image quality, presenting an excellent alternative to traditional large format cameras in diverse aerial mapping applications such as: remote sensing, precision agriculture, disaster management and monitoring. The new camera is characterized by small pixel size (4.6 µ), large image area (190 MP), high image capture rate of 0.6 sec and exposure time of up to 1/2000, a focal length of 90 mm, and optional NIR channel. The iXU-RS1900 relatively small size, light weight and low power consumption makes it compatible with all types of light aviation vehicles. These factors significantly reduce the operational costs of mapping projects, and make it an ideal camera for use as a standalone camera for photogrammetric work , as a component for LIDAR systems and a NADIR camera for Oblique systems, or as part of an array of multiple cameras.
