280MP Aerial Solution
The new standard in large format aerial imaging
With over 20,000 pixels across, and a compact size and weight, the 280MP Aerial Solution (PAS 280) provides a higher return on investment compared to any other large format aerial solution available on the market.
PAS 280
The Phase One 280MP Aerial Solution (PAS 280) offers the highest image capture rate and dynamic range, increasing overall quality and accuracy of the final photogrammetric products.
It provides a large format option that is compact and lightweight, for use in a wide range of aircraft.
PAS 280 is comprised of iX Controller, GNSS/IMU receiver (POS AV series), Somag gyro-stabilized mount (DSM 400), the Phase One flight planning and management software iX Plan and iX Flight, as well iX Capture.
4-band configuration
Phase One offers additional configuration for simultaneous capturing of RGB and NIR images. The 280MP 4-Band Aerial System is comprised of the iXM-RS280F metric camera with dual 90mm lenses for capturing RGB data, and an additional NIR camera with 50mm lens for capturing NIR data – thus providing 4-band (R,G,B,NIR) or CIR imagery.
The integrated iX Capture software automatically generates distortion-free 4-band images by performing an accurate matching of a NIR image to an RGB image, creating precise and reliable output data.
- TIFF and JPG formats
- 4-band RGB+NIR (RGBN)
- 3-band CIR (Color Infra Red)
- NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)
- Distortion-free / corrected RGB
- Distortion-free / corrected NIR
iXM-RS 280F Aerial Camera
The iXM-RS 280F is a dual lens metric aerial camera with 90mm lenses for capturing RGB information, and providing superior image quality. The iXM-RS 280F camera generates central projection image from two 150MP nadir images with equal ground resolution.
- Backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor
- Wide dynamic range
- Improved light sensitivity
- More flying hours per day and more flights achievable per year
- Maintains object resolution in low light conditions
Additional hardware
IX CONTROLLER
The iX Controller is designed to enable rapid data transfer and has the ability to control up to six Phase One aerial cameras independently.
SOMAG GYRO-STABILIZED MOUNT (DSM400)
Specifically designed for the Phase One Aerial Solution. With a low weight of 14 kg and a high payload of 35 kg, the mount supports the reduction of the angular rate and provides optimal stabilization of the system.
GNSS/IMU system
The Applanix’ POS AVX 210/ POS AV series enables direct georeferencing of aerial images. By integrating precision GNSS with inertial technology, POS AV enables precise determination of position and attitude. The Phase One 280MP Aerial Solution is also compatible with additional GNSS/IMU systems.
Software
iX Plan
With its intuitive GUI and multiple control functions, the iX Plan application enables users to simply generate flight plans.
iX Flight
iX Flight is an interactive and intuitive flight management software for the precise execution of a mission and comes uploaded to the iX Controller.
iX Capture
iX Capture is an aerial capture, control and image processing software with an intuitive interface that displays key information such as exposure settings, histogram, GNSS/IMU data and frame count.
