LARGE-AREA AERIAL MAPPING
UltraCam Condor
4.1
Large areas. Efficient flights.
UltraCam Condor 4.1 is a large-format aerial camera designed for high-altitude, wide-area imaging. It combines a broad RGB image strip with PAN and NIR channels to support orthophoto and elevation-model production.

RGB swath width
Wide image coverage across the flight line.
Shortest capture interval
Fast data capture with CMOS architecture.
Multiband imagery
Colour and near-infrared data complementing the PAN channel.
Motion compensation
Software correction of multidirectional image motion.
Wide coverage for large projects.
Condor 4.1's long RGB strip improves flight efficiency on wide-area missions. The rectangular PAN channel supplies data for dense matching; images captured in the same flight can serve different mapping outputs.
Wide RGB strip
Colour image size of 48,462 × 6,150 pixels.
Rectangular PAN
PAN image coverage of 20,488 × 14,040 pixels.
NIR channel
Multiband assessment with near-infrared information.
CMOS architecture
Minimum image interval of 0.7 seconds.
Custom optics
Lenses designed for image sharpness and contrast.
UltraMap workflow
Integration into orthophoto, point-cloud and elevation-model production.

One flight, multiple data products.
The colour image strip is processed alongside PAN and NIR information. PAN geometry supports dense matching, followed by DSM, DTM and orthophoto production according to project requirements.
- Wide-area orthophoto production
- Terrain and surface model generation
- Multiband image assessment
Architecture for wide-area missions.
CMOS sensors, custom optics and fourth-generation electronics manage large data volumes. The camera body, connections and handles are arranged to simplify setup and field use.
- Data unit exchangeable during flight
- UltraNav and UltraMount integration
- Standard output formats through UltraMap
