Aerial Image Georeferencing

We are excited to introduce a new product from Picarta! Our innovative technology accurately georeferences aerial imagery captured by aircraft, drones, and satellites. Even when the vehicles themselves have GPS data, it remains challenging to geolocate images captured by cameras on these moving platforms. Our advanced solution not only localizes the images but also identifies the precise GPS coordinates of objects within the images with accuracy down to meters.
Our technology is ideal for industries like agriculture, urban planning, and disaster management. It provides precise GPS localization of objects in aerial imagery, enabling accurate mapping, land use monitoring, and environmental assessments, even from moving platforms like drones and aircraft.
Our model takes as input an aerial image, and if available, the camera altitude and a reference GPS location of the platform (such as a drone or aircraft). The model then returns the GPS coordinates of the four corners and the center of the image, as shown in the figure below
