UltraCam Osprey
4.2

See the city from every angle.

UltraCam Osprey 4.2 combines photogrammetric nadir imaging with oblique images in four directions. Its large-format design provides versatile data for orthophotos, 3D city models and infrastructure mapping.

Nadir PAN width

Wide nadir coverage in Standard and Tele options.

4 directions

Oblique RGB imagery

19,136 × 12,736 pixels in each direction.

0.7 s

Shortest capture interval

Fast nadir and oblique image capture.

2 options

Standard / Tele

Lens-system selection according to mission altitude.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Nadir accuracy. Oblique detail.

PAN, RGB and NIR nadir images with four oblique RGB views provide roof and façade information together. Standard and Tele lens systems suit different flight-altitude requirements.

Nadir and oblique

Plan views and façade information in one system.

Sony IMX811

CMOS sensors with a physical pixel size of 2.81 µm.

Standard and Tele

Different altitude options for the target GSD.

AMC

Software correction for multidirectional image motion.

RGB and NIR

Multiband capture in nadir imagery.

UltraMap integration

Workflow for orthophotos, elevation models and textured 3D products.

01 / ULTRACAM OSPREY

Document cities from multiple perspectives.

Four-direction oblique cameras complement façades that are less visible in nadir imagery. This arrangement provides a rich image set for city modelling and interpretation of building surroundings.

  • Photogrammetric nadir images
  • High-resolution oblique RGB in four directions
  • Textured 3D model production with UltraMap
02 / ULTRACAM OSPREY

Lens selection by altitude.

Standard and Tele systems meet different airspace and resolution requirements. Tele enables higher flight altitude at the same example GSD; select the lens system alongside the project plan.

  • Standard: 80 mm nadir PAN lens
  • Tele: 122 mm nadir PAN lens
  • Four oblique RGB views in both systems
