Paneled Ground Control

CompassData specializes in collecting long-lasting photoidentifiable points, but in certain situations (for accuracy verification, or at a customer's request), we will set panels, or targets for aerial or satellite imagery control.

Paneled Control is set in predetermined locations prior to flight or imaging, and is either painted on a suitable surface, or laid out using aluminum, plastic, wood or fabric panels.

Our survey personnel are very experienced in the process of setting panels that will work for specific projects.

Paneled points are not included in GCP Archive

The CompassData GCP Archive contains only permanent points.

For the sake of simplicity, plastic is the material of choice in those instances where paint is not practical. The downside of plastic is that for some reason, animals are attracted to plastic and sometimes wind up treating it as an appetizer. For this reason along with the obvious reason (panels often disappear or are moved), CompassData does not include paneled points in our GCP Archive.
