- The digital camera system's higher dynamic range yields sharper images with more predictable detail for mapping and analysis.
- Automated image classification allows the detection of similar surface objects or attributes - e.g., to determine the presence and precise location of an invasive plant species in a neighbourhood environment, or to calculate the proportion of hard surface to vegetative surface within a municipality.
- All aerial image data can be imported into, or used directly in, GIS environments with full georeferencing. Property boundaries (cadastral information) can be overlaid immediately onto engineering information - e.g., when aligning new corridors or other infrastructure facilities.
- More precise photogrammetric accuracy combines with a powerful multi-spectral capability, making it far easier to assess concerns such as the health of urban forests.
- Integrated digital elevation modelling can also be used for engineering work.
- Digital imagery can be readily adapted into 3-D fly-throughs for economic development presentation.
