With the rise of web mapping services, millions of people are helped every day to reach their destinations. For most consumers, this is good enough. For professional use, these services fall short of the accuracy, quality and accessibility needed for professional GIS applications and related industry arenas. The HxGN Content Program provides current and accurate imagery that meets international industry standards, refreshed on a pre-planned schedule. The aerial imagery is available on streaming provided as a service through OGS WMS/WMTS protocols or for download via the store.

HxGN Content Program - Imagery - Data Specifications Infographic
 

Highest resolution


For professional use, HxGN Content Program imagery is captured in 4 band RGBN (RGB plus near-infrared) data at 15 cm (6 inches) resolution for urban area coverage and 30 cm (1 foot) resolution in wide area coverage.

Professional grade


What makes imagery professional? The difference is not only how it is captured and the type of sensors used, post processing plays a huge role. Unlike consumer or satellite imagery, HxIP imagery is processed by a team of experienced photogrammetrists using stringent quality control methods to correct seam lines and colour and perform ortho rectification. 

Current data


You can be confident in the quality of your data knowing the HxIP imagery is acquired on a regular schedule to keep content fresh and up to date.

Seamless imagery


Collected by renowned acquisition partners with years of experience in large area collection using Leica Geosystems airborne sensors, HxIP imagery is captured without awkward seams. Avoiding a patchwork quilt effect, full states are acquired in one flying season, ensuring reliable and consistent imagery.
