Vexcel Imaging announced that GeoTerra, a U.S.-based aerial mapping service provider, has acquired the UltraCam Merlin 4.1 2010 digital aerial camera system. 

This marks GeoTerra's transition to Vexcel's fourth-generation camera systems and reinforces their commitment to delivering versatile, reliable, and high-accuracy imagery for engineering and government mapping projects at all levels.

GeoTerra supports diverse mapping projects across the United States, with a strong operational focus on the Pacific Northwest (PNW) - a region known for its rugged landscapes terrain and unique weather conditions. These environmental challenges demand dependable and adaptable technology. The UltraCam Merlin 4.1 addresses this need, ensuring GeoTerra can deliver consistent, high-quality data for projects ranging from large-scale orthophoto programs to precise, small-scale engineering work.

The decision to invest in the UltraCam Merlin 4.1 was both strategic and practical, driven by performance, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. GeoTerra recognized the need to update its older, heavily used systems to maintain technological competitiveness, while keeping operating costs manageable. The system delivers robust performance and enhanced image quality, supported by a great base-to-height (B/H) ratio for photogrammetric data collection.
