The latest development of large-format aerial mapping camera systems in related foreign countries
With the development of Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor(CMOS)detector technology,significant progress has been made in aerial mapping camera systems.There developed many kinds of large-format aerial mapping camera systems with lateral equivalent width of more than 30,000 pixels by related foreign countries,which can be used to conduct large-area aerial mapping tasks.The development progress of large-format aerial mapping camera systems in related foreign coun-tries is introduced in this paper,the current situation of 100 MP level medium-format cameras and the overall situation of large-format aerial mapping camera systems are summarized,and the typical com-mercial aerial mapping camera systems in these countires,as well as their technical characteristics and applications are detailed and analyzed.We hope that some useful references can be provided for future related systems development in China.
