Orthophotography & Photogrammetric
Mapping
Once the digital images are captured and integrated with the corresponding survey
data, they move into a production workflow that is defined according to the specific
requirements of the project. Final deliverables typically include one or more of
the following products:
Orthophotography: Aerial imagery that has been horizontally corrected to
remove distortions caused by the terrain and the angle of view. "Ortho" images are
typically used for asset management and engineering design, and as the base-map
image foundation in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications.
Planimetric Maps: Vector-based map layers that display the shape of features
(natural and/or manmade) on the Earth's surface, such as property lines, structures,
roads, and bodies of water.
Topographic Maps: Vector-based map layers that utilize contour lines to represent
the elevation of the Earth's surface.
These map products can be delivered in various scales and formats, and are used
in a wide range of applications, from design/engineering projects to base maps for
GIS asset management.

Remote Sensing Services
MJ Harden's high-resolution, multispectral aerial imagery has tremendous value for
analysis applications. The color infrared data provides information not seen in
panchromatic or color imagery. Applications for color infrared imagery include environmental
assessment, agricultural analysis, forest management, disaster assessment, and right-of-way
analysis.
Survey and Inventory Services
MJ Harden utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to capture survey
data that is used as a geodetic control for photogrammetric mapping projects. Volume
inventories are conducted using aerial imagery and geodetic control surveys to calculate
quantities of bulk materials. MJ Harden also performs surveys of asset inventories,
collecting geospatial and other data about specific assets, such as utility poles
and meters, water-management assets, pipeline corridor features, and more.
GIS Consulting, Implementation, and Support Services
As
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) assets have become a core resource for many
organizations, getting data efficiently to and from those who use it is an ongoing
challenge. MJ Harden's team of GIS consultants, photogrammetric mappers, surveyors,
and geospatial data–management professionals applies proven technologies to help
you develop, manage, and maintain your geospatial assets. We can also assist in
streamlining your workflows so that you can realize the full potential of your GIS.
Services include GIS Planning, Data Acquisition, Database Development, GIS Implementation,
and GIS Support Services.
MJ Harden provides GIS solutions that are designed to address the geospatial data–management
needs of public utilities, government agencies, pipelines, engineering firms, and
private companies.
