Above All - Ohio | Services | Verticals | True Verticals

True verticals are aerial photos taken from a specially calibrated camera mounted in the belly of the airplane. This gives you a highly accurate, straight down perspective of a site or area.

True verticals can either be a single photograph (called a spot shot) or a series of 2 or more photos stitched together to form a seamless map of a large area (see the Custom Photo Maps or Stock Photo Maps sections for more information). By stitching together geo-rectified, true vertical images, entire cities and regions can be photographed and mapped with a great degree of accuracy and detail.

Depending on the resolution you require (and the budget you have to work with), verticals can be flown at a variety of altitudes to meet your needs. Higher altitudes cover more area with fewer pictures while lower altitudes allow for acquisition of very high resolution images.

True verticals can be printed to scale and measurements can be taken directly from the photographs. True verticals can also be imported into CAD or or engineering programs.
