MIST Thermal Airborne Imaging System Maps German Pipelines
MIST Thermal Airborne Imaging System Maps German Pipelines VisionMap’s MIST thermal airborne imaging system was used to map and monitor pipeline infrastructure in Herten, Germany. The survey was commissioned by GEOCART, a leading German supplier of photogrammetric products and services. VisionMap’s system demonstrated its exceptional efficiency, high resolution, and high thermal sensitivity. The MIST camera was flown at an altitude of 5,700 ft., capturing 8.6 cm GSD imagery at a rate of 170 km 2 / hour. The highly efficient camera not only covers the area quickly, but also collects vertical and oblique images of the pipelines in the same flight. The camera is able to fly at high altitudes without compromising on resolution thanks to its long, 300 mm focal length; this ab
