First Oblique Pictometry Imagery Captured in NZ

First Oblique Pictometry Imagery Captured in New Zealand

AAMHatch has recently completed the first Pictometry aerial imagery project to be undertaken in New Zealand. The patented Pictometry oblique aerial imaging system has revolutionised aerial imaging around the world, and AAMHatch is very pleased to be able to make this technology available in New Zealand.

AAMHatch General Manager, Brian Nicholls, states that "The first Pictometry imagery captured in New Zealand was fittingly of the New

Zealand Parliament building, the Beehive. Trifecta Global Infrastructure Solutions and AAMHatch will present this imagery to the New Zealand Government as a unique record of a new era in aerial imaging for New Zealand. We are confident that Pictometry will be quickly embraced by New Zealand users, as it has by users in other parts of the world."

Following the Beehive capture, AAMHatch completed Pictometry imaging of the remainder of the Wellington City area for Wellington City Council, the first council in New Zealand to embrace Pictometry.

AAMHatch have now mobilised to Auckland to begin a program of Pictometry capture of the Auckland and North Shore metropolitan areas.
