Vexcel Data Program

The Vexcel Data Program (VDP) is an imagery-as-a-service company that provides aerial imagery and geospatial data, which gives its customers access to its library of content via a cloud-based platform. VDP has captured programs in over twenty-five countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Western Europe, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Japan, and Australia, and collects both urban and rural location imagery.

The industries VDP serves include the following:

• government
• insurance
• energy
• utilities
• telecommunications
• AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction)

VDP was launched in 2017 by Vexcel Imaging. VDP combines Vexcel Imaging’s expertise in aerial camera systems, mobile mapping platforms, and photogrammetry software together to offer its aerial data products. Customers integrate the geospatial data into their third-party GIS/CAD platforms through APIs and web map tile services (WMTS).

The products VDP offers include Oblique, True Ortho, Ortho, Disaster Imagery, Elevate, Elements, and Multispectral.

VDP's Oblique product provides a complete view of sites with images from all four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), collected at a 45-degree angle in ultra-high resolution at 2.9” (7.5cm) or better. True Ortho provides aerial imagery with a resolution of 2.9″ (7.5 cm) or better without building lean, allowing for customers to easily distinguish between objects on the ground and take accurate measurements of an area. Ortho also provides aerial imagery that is four times more clear than satellite images and wider than drone images, but not as high resolution as the True Ortho images.

VDP's Disaster Imagery product provides the most comprehensive post-catastrophe imagery library in the industry offering rapid access to high-resolution aerial imagery and data specifically for natural disaster response.

VDP's Multispectral product uses color-infrared (CIR) imagery to help classify vegetation, identify impervious surfaces, and more. The Elevate product uses digital surface model (DSM) data to provide a clear view of the ground’s surface and man-made objects, allowing customers to import the DSM/DTM data or to power automatic feature extraction and machine learning applications. Finally, the Elements product allows customers to view more than twenty property and building attributes in aerial images.
