GCP COLLECTION

Photo Identifiable

 

 

Photo Identifiable
 
CompassData specializes in collecting ground coordinates on features visible in collected imagery. This provides a great deal of flexibility in flight and photography sessions without the need to pre-panel and maintain control targets.
We collect GCPs on persistent features, that is, features that will not move over time and provide maximum visibility for a given satellite sensor look angle or aerial flight layout.  
When necessary, we will use features such as paint stripes on pavement when no other unambiguous features are available, but we strive for more permanent types of features to ensure coordinate availability over an extended period of time.
