Feature Extraction & Classification

Expertise in Precise Airport Mapping for the Air Transportation Industry

One industry in which we have virtually defined the global standards for mapping terrain has been airports.

Stereo Imagery Collection and Feature Extraction. Through our constellation of high resolution satellites, we collect stereo imagery for thousands of airports around the world and extract detailed 3-dimensional vector information from this imagery to meet the needs of the air transportation industry.

Knowledge in Aeronautical Procedures and Standards. Our team of experts, knowledgeable in aeronautical procedures and standards, uses DigitalGlobe 3D Airport to construct a 3D airport map of any commercial or military airport in the world.

DigitalGlobe 3D Airports

DigitalGlobe 3D Airports is a family of value-added geospatial products that captures precise spatial models of domestic and international airports, the natural elevation of surrounding terrain, and man-made obstacles. DigitalGlobe 3D Airport Maps offers a three-dimensional geospatial model of an airport's features that are required to support aircraft and helicopter operations. These products meet all the latest industry standards to enable Performance Based Navigation (PBN). Together, they enhance the safety of flight and ground operations at airports and enable airlines to increase revenue and decrease costs by reducing fuel consumption and flight times and by increasing flight frequency.
