What photogrammetry and remote sensing have in common is the use of imagery to create geographic information: optical images (terrestrial, aerial, satellite), as well as lidar and radar scans. Remote sensing aims to characterize the nature of the terrestrial phenomena shown by the recordings, while photogrammetry aims to establish their shape and position. Image processing and computer vision encompass these fields. The ultra-lightweight CMOS global shutter camera has been designed for drone photogrammetry. Its features include: high resolution (20 Mp), high throughput, global shutter, interchangeable fixed-focus optics, lightweight, intelligent, FPGA-accelerated hardware, on-board GNSS and IMU.
