Information system for aerial photographs / LUBIS viewer

With the LUBIS viewer, you can search, display and order all terrestrial images, aerial photographs and aerial image strips registered in swisstopo’s LUBIS aerial imagery information system. The database is continually updated with historical images and newly surveyed aerial image strips.

All terrestrial and aerial images on the interactive map are displayed as points using their centre-image coordinates. The aerial image strips show the corresponding flight lines. You can also view the footprints of the terrestrial and aerial photographs or the aerial image strips as well as other metadata. Pre-scanned photographs can be displayed in full resolution. You can search for the images by type, year of capture or location.

New ways of accessing data

Since August 2023, aerial images have gradually been made available for download. An initial tranche of 30'000 images, orthophotos ( if available) and metadata has been integrated. The remaining images will be made accessible over the coming year. For images available for download, the online aerial image viewer has been replaced by direct download. This change is part of swisstopo's "Open Government Data" strategy.
