High‑quality equipment drives economic development toward higher quality and greater efficiency | The Institute of Geoinformatics has introduced a domestically leading aerial photogrammetry system.

　　To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools. Recently, the Institute of Geoinformatics successfully acquired a domestically advanced aerial photogrammetry system. Following trial flights and rigorous testing by experts, the equipment has now passed acceptance and is poised to enter service.

According to reports, this aerial photogrammetry system comprises a medium‑size vertical takeoff and landing fixed‑wing UAV equipped with a 510‑megapixel aerial camera, a 300‑megapixel oblique‑imaging camera, and a 100‑megapixel nadir‑view camera. It not only offers high precision, high resolution, and high efficiency across all dimensions but also features portable operation, making it widely applicable in areas such as smart city development, urban planning, agricultural and forestry management, environmental monitoring, inspection and reconnaissance, and cultural heritage preservation. In line with the relevant requirements of the “14th Five-Year Plan for Basic Surveying and Mapping” of Hunan Province, the Institute of Geoinformatics has timely introduced this aerial photogrammetry system. This move both aligns with industry trends and reflects an imperative to proactively advance industrial upgrading, while also serving as a key measure to implement the spirit of the Provincial Geological Institute’s conference on promoting high‑quality development—namely, leveraging cutting‑edge equipment to foster and strengthen new‑type productive forces and enhance core competitiveness.

　　Going forward, the Institute of Geoinformatics will steadfastly implement the Provincial Geological Institute’s “One Core, Two Wings, Three Pillars” development strategy, continuously enhance its equipment capabilities and technical standards, and, through concrete actions, contribute to the high-quality economic and social development of the local region. It will also persist in elevating brand building and raising quality standards, thereby further enriching and enhancing the “Hunan Geoinformatics” brand.
