My last column (“Digital camera technology,” May 2006) focused on the impressive capabilities and explosive growth of today’s high-end digital mapping cameras. Without question, digital sensors have and are changing the way imagery is acquired for mapping projects around the world.
These devices are also opening new markets, resulting in new and innovative uses of mapping in nontraditional applications, and providing increased capabilities to the end-users of mapping information. As mapping professionals, our knowledge and understanding of the capabilities of these systems is growing exponentially, both in terms of the information found within the imagery and the accuracy that can be expected from map products generated from the digital images.
