ODIS - On Demand Imagery Solutions

Platform & Services

As our name suggests On Demand Imagery Solutions provides accurate georegistered imagery, on demand and relatively inexpensively. Until recently the acquisition of imagery was the domain of traditional aircraft and satellite platforms. With the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles this is not the case anymore. UAV platforms allows for the acquisition of imagery that may have been too small to warrant flying a traditional aircraft or too expensive to fly on a regular basis.

ODIS is committed to offering what our clients need in a timely manner. On receiving a request for imagery acquisition we will discuss the specifics of the job and develop an imagery specifications report detailing the imagery that is be acquired. This ensures that you are getting exactly what you want. Below is the standard imagery specifications that ODIS offers, however these can be modified to fit specific projects you may have.
