Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing provide cost effective methods of measuring various phenomenon and features.

Photogrammetry is the science of making accurate measurements about objects using photographs. Remote sensing is the use space borne sensors to capture data about features on the earth. With regards to earth observation, remote sensing sensors accquire images about the earth surface and objects in it. Using, photogrammetric techniques, measurements are then obtained from the accquired images. At Aphelion World, we process remotely sensed data, measure and map various phenomenon on the earth surface to allow decision makers to make informed decisions. We produce various products and services that are vital for optimal decision making and improve operational efficiency. The various application areas we cover are:

  • 3D Modelling from images
  • Agriculture and Forestry mapping products
  • Urban planning and Change Detection
  • Computer Vision and Virtual Reality

Using large area imagery from remote sensing reduces cost and labour requirements for any mapping excersise. At Aphelion, we tailor make solutions that are efficient and cost effective.

Some of the projects that we have been involved in include:

  • Mapping of invasive treee species in East Africa
  • Creating GEOBIM models for industrial plants
  • Human settlements change detection in South Africa
  • Lidar data processing to produce Digital Elevation Models
