Kavel 10 invests in three UltraCam Osprey 4.2 systems

Vexcel Imaging announced that Kavel 10, a leading provider of aerial imagery in the Netherlands, has invested in three UltraCam Osprey 4.2 large-format aerial cameras, consisting of two Standard and one Tele version, to support an ambitious, nationwide aerial mapping initiative. The investment also includes the UltraMap photogrammetric workflow up to orthophoto production, enabling efficient and highly automated data processing.

With this integrated hardware and software solution, Kavel 10 is planning to capture the entire Netherlands at an exceptional ground sampling distance (GSD) of 3 centimeters. “With our nationwide data program at this unprecedented level of detail, we are setting a new standard for aerial mapping in the Netherlands,” said Richard Brouwer, Co-CEO at Kavel 10. “By producing a true orthophoto, high-quality oblique imagery, and a detailed 3D mesh from a single, consistent dataset, we significantly strengthen our promise to deliver the best possible view of the Netherlands. This program forms a robust and scalable foundation for our future growth plans.”

Richard Brouwer continued: “The new Vexcel Osprey 4.2 cameras enable us to complete our flight operations with up to 30% reduction in flight time. In addition, all high-quality aerial imagery is processed within a single, fully integrated UltraMap processing workflow.”
