Photo Geodetic

Photo Geodetic Corporation was established in April 1978, with a commitment to providing high-quality aerial mapping services for planning, engineering, and research projects. Over the years, we have built a reputation for delivering precise mapping and producing accurate, detailed products tailored to our clients' specific needs. Our expertise lies in collecting data and performing conversions among various software packages such as AUTOCAD, MICROSTATION, and SOFTDESK/AUTODESK CIVIL 3D. We specialize in large-scale digital design mapping with high accuracy requirements and unique specifications.

Design Quality Aerial Mapping

At Photo Geodetic Corporation, we take pride in our aerial mapping services, which are characterized by design quality and attention to detail. Our team of skilled professionals utilizes advanced technology and techniques to ensure the highest level of accuracy in all our projects. We understand the importance of precision in mapping and strive to exceed our clients' expectations in every task we undertake.

Topographical Mapping

Topographical mapping is one of our primary functions, and we employ stereo aerial photography to create 3-dimensional digital topographic maps. This versatile product can be manipulated in various software packages to generate base data for a wide range of applications. Our topographical mapping service is designed to provide accurate and detailed representations of physical features on the ground, enabling our clients to make informed decisions in their planning and engineering projects.

UAS Mapping

At Photo Geodetic Corporation, we use Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) technology to collect high-quality data and generate data for orthophotos, 3DMapping, and point clouds with great accuracy. This innovative approach is ideal for smaller sites and allows us to map at levels of detail never before imagined. Our UAS mapping service is designed to provide cost-effective and efficient solutions to our clients' mapping needs.

Digital Orthophotos

Digital orthophotos are corrected aerial photographs that are geometrically aligned with a digital terrain model (DTM). Using Trimble's Inpho Suite software, we correct distortion in aerial photography using DTM data produced in the mapping phase. The photos are corrected for both horizontal and vertical distortion and can be used as an overlay to the mapping using a variety of software options. Our digital orthophotos service is designed to provide our clients with accurate and reliable aerial photography data for use in their projects.

Community Service and Certifications

Photo Geodetic Corporation is proud to be certified as an Emerging Local Business Enterprise (ELBE) with the City of San Diego and a Micro Business with the State of California. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to serving our community and promoting equal employment and subcontracting opportunities. We share the City's commitment to ensuring that taxpayer dollars spent on public contracts are not paid to businesses that practice discrimination in employment or subcontracting.
