UltraCam Product Lines

Solutions tailored to your mapping needs


We offer a comprehensive range of aerial camera and hybrid mapping systems that cater to all applications in aerial photogrammetry. With our commitment to excellence and constant innovation, we set the industry standard across all three product lines.

Our Fundamental line boasts aerial camera systems equipped with high-end Bayer pattern sensors. This highly efficient system concept is the most widespread in the market. So, what sets us apart? Our proven 4th generation system architecture, coupled with an intelligent camera design, enables reliable results and accuracy without the need for tilting cones. Additionally, the Merlin systems benefit from our exclusive image processing techniques like True Pixel Processing and Adaptive Motion Compensation, guaranteeing top image quality plus collection and processing efficiency. 

For those in need of the highest quality and accuracy, our Premium line is the perfect choice. The UltraCam systems in this line utilize high-resolution panchromatic sensors, combined with lower-resolution discrete or RGB color sensors. This combination ensures that every detail of the scene is captured.

And finally, our Integrated line offers a hybrid-source based system that leverages the power of both image and LiDAR. Our versatile UltraCam Dragon 4.1 relies on best-in-class sensors and enables dedicated image or LiDAR mapping missions as well as comprehensive combined data capture.
