HOME

Keystone Offers...
We specialize in the acquisition of NEW quality aerial photography and remote sensing throughout North America, as well as custom aerial photographic reprints. Our flight department provides airborne GPS controlled aerial photography, airborne magnetic data acquisition, and remote sensing.
 
Our Photographic Lab provides custom aerial photographic reproductions. Keystone has archived quality aerial photography in our extensive film library for your mapping, environmental, and planning needs. We have over 750,000 negatives in film and 200,000 digital images (and growing) on file for your use. Our in-house, custom designed program catalogs every exposure for an easy "look-up" of your specific site.
 
 
Our Commitment...
We are committed to the advancement of photogrammetry by providing timely, high quality aerial photography. We provide only the airborne data collection, i.e., aerial photography, airborne magnetic surveys and the associated lab products. We do not provide mapping services. The same attention to quality that we give our aerial photography carries over to our photographic lab.
  N254KB C-320  
How we do it...
Our 14 GPS equipped airplanes, combined with three Microsoft UltraCamX digital Sensors, 10 Leica RC30/20/10 and Zeiss sensors, give Keystone a great opportunity to take advantage of limited weather and sun angle. We have been using GPS for navigation and flight path recovery since 1988. We are providing clients with geodetic quality GPS controlled surveys using the Novatel and Trimble 4700/4000 SSI receivers and Grafnav post processing software.
 
Our four full time mechanics keep our aircraft maintained to FAA regulations and in the air when the weather is clear. Our Photographic processing lab is next to our aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities. This provides us a quick check of the photography and the client a quick turn around for delivery products.

GPS CAPABILITY

[ Overview | GPS Capability | Photographic Lab Equipment | Aircraft | Aerial Cameras | Personnel List ]

Trimble 4700SSI

 
What we offer...
Airborne GPS controlled photographic surveys.
 
How we do it...
Currently Keystone Aerial Surveys, Inc. has all aircraft with dual frequency surveyed antennas ready for GPS photographic control use. We use Trimble 2000A receivers for navigation and non-differential real-time position annotation of the film. We use Trimble 4700/4000 SSI receivers and the most current version of Grafnav post processing software for geodetic quality photo control.
 
For flight management we use custom software designed inhouse, to facilitates data logging and camera control. This allows for preplanned photo centers. With pre-planned photo centers, models can fit ground Trimble 4000SSIcontrol and photos can be laterally aligned from line to line, making the transfer of points in the AT process more efficient. Camera events along with line number, exposure number, camera status are recorded for post plotting and checking along with the raw phase data from the GPS for the photographic control.
 
Experience...
Our experience with airborne GPS for photographic control includes many projects ranging in scale from 1:4800 to 1:40000 and area sizes from 45 models to well over 2,500 models.
GPS Delivery...
Raw Data
Data file containing camera station positions
Post process report giving RMS values (indication of position accuracy)
