The Belgian Company CICADE s.a. realized an RGB and IRC aerial photography mission of 10 000 kmē in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using the DiMAC Camera in June 2004.
The purpose of this mission was to photography 2 260 km with a corridor of 4,5 km at 50 cm resolution from Riyadh to Qurayyat and Dammam to Ras Azur in order to provide orthophotoplans at 1:5000 scale and DTM. Ultimately, this mission will help the pre-analysis of a railway project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
According the project's requirements, the DiMAC Camera has been configured with 4 Camera Modules of 80 mm lenses. Three of those modules were dedicated for RGB (one modules vertical and two modules tilted at 12,5º) while the fourth modules was used to offer the IRC imagery. Thanks to the unique TRUE FMC integrated within each Camera Module, the entire mission was performed by the CICADE's team in three days.
It can be noticed that the DiMAC Camera is the first Digital Camera to have achieved aerial photography in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its desert.
