5153 Yotta DCL is offering an innovative vehicle-based imaging service that will provide accurate high-resolution panoramic street-level views of highway features. The vehicle is equipped with a 60 megapixel panoramic camera developed by Yotta and uses Applanix satellite positioning technology to log the exact location of each image. The vehicle cam improves street-level mapping operations with accurate 3D images of buildings and other highway features, such as signs, trees, barriers and fences. Called Y360, the vehicle's digital camera captures images every 2m, with the position calculated by combining GPS, inertial and optical tracking systems. These images are processed by Yotta software that gives the precise position and detailed information for each feature captured by the camera. According to the firm, Y360 offers a huge step forward in technology. The vehicle is being used for an array of applications including highway asset collection for local authorities, highways agencies and their contractors, and 3D mapping for utility companies.
