Digital image strips

With Leica ADS100 digital cameras, the landscape is scanned in strips with a linear scanner (20,000 pixels) in black and white, colour (RGB) and infrared. Special software is required for visualising and analysing image strips. With the LUBIS Viewer application, you can search aerial image strips which are registered in swisstopo’s LUBIS aerial imagery information system.

Applications
