Fireball provides remote sensing capabilites using a variety of different sensor packages, including infrared sensors, gyro-stabilized camera systems and high resolution digital cameras. By utilizing measurements from high-accuracy Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), we are able to provide accurate georeferencing, point-location, automated feature extraction, and orthorectification of imagery datasets.

Incorporating years of research, software development, and real-world experience, Fireball's Aware® software packages form the foundation for all our aerial mapping services. All Aware® systems record imagery and related measurements into a spatial database for efficient access during and after a mapping flight.
