Hexagon Announces Aerial Data Collection Of Eight US States

Hexagon’s Geosystems division announced today that the HxGN Content Program will refresh data for eight U.S. states during this year’s collection season. All states — California, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, and West Virginia — will be updated at a 6-inch (15-centimeter) resolution statewide, marking the program’s shift from a 12-inch to 6-inch wide-area acquisition for the contiguous United States. The 2022 collection will add 558,349 square miles (1,446,116 square kilometers) of 4-band orthoimagery, stereo imagery, and imagery-derived digital surface models to the Content Program’s existing collection of over 10.5 million square miles across North America and Europe. The refreshed aerial data will be available starting in Q4 of 2022 as weather conditions allow. The aerial imagery can be streamed using standard mapping APIs or downloaded through the HxGN Content Program’s Data Store. Data availability can be tracked through the HxGN Content Program’s coverage map.
