STRIP Mapping Advantage
What is it?
Along track corridor collection with WingMan’s PAS280 Sensor System coupled with the highest commercial accuracy Applanix IMU and GNSS.
Why does it matter?
STRIPmap Acquisition is purpose-built for the precise mapping of corridor features such as utility rights-of-way, pipelines, roads, and railways. When operated in STRIP mode, the sensor collects data at a resolution of 20,000 pixels along the track and 14,000 pixels across the track. This method significantly reduces the number of images and seamlines, enhancing the usability of image pixels within the defined corridor area of interest (AOI). Its effectiveness is further enhanced when integrated with LiDAR data.
For instance, when you compare the PAS 280 system in STRIP orientation to a Phase One 150 MP sensor (with 14,000 along-track by 10,000 across-track sensors), the PAS 280 is
50% more efficient.
What’s the benefit?
What’s the benefit?
Enhancing capture and processing efficiency in corridor mapping projects is achieved by minimizing the number of required images, as evidenced by Wingman's test flights conducted with the collaboration of Phase One, Trimble/Applanix, and Talos Aviation Group. Significant cost reductions are realized through a decreased image count, limited or eliminated need for control points, and simultaneous data collection, all of which result in improved return on investment.
50% reduction in image processing costs
Fewer images result in fewer seamlines, reducing QC and editing time around features such as buildings, speeding up data processing, and improving accuracy.
Fewer or no GCPs required
Using the Applanix IMU/GNSS AP610 system reduces survey costs, as improved triangulation produces dependable results with fewer large-frame images and less need for tie points or GCP's (Ground Control Points).
Tandem PAS280/LiDAR collection
STRIP Mapping aligns with most LiDAR swath widths and reduces Flight Costs, with 2 for 1 collection.

STRIP Mapping Sample Datasets
This link has raw STRIP Mapping data along with different levels of processing to view the advantages STRIP Mapped imagery.
Level-1 - Orthoready Pocessing Video (Coming Soon)
Creating a new IIQ processing project from the mission data in IX-Process for stitching and stacking rgbn files and output to ortho-ready L1 Tiff's with EXIF header and IMU/GNSS Attitude xls data files. Seamless integration of L1 data directly into Inpho or any photogrammetry software suite.
Level-2 - Orthomosaic setup (Coming Soon)
Setting up an Inpho project file for triangulation, with defined STRIP map camera model parameters, projection and Applanix EO parameters loaded.
Large format processing levels
Level-0 (Raw)
- IIQ files with basic metadata information, not stitched
- Can be used in some advanced photogrammetry software's like Correlator 3D
Level-1 (Ortho-ready)
- Stitched and Stacked RGB or RGBN TIFF files
- Ortho-ready TIFF files with EXIF embedded and separate EO file provided
- Can be quickly loaded into photogrammetry software like Trimble's Inpho
Level-2 (OrthoMosaic)
