June 28, 2011 -- Blom UK is excited to be launching a brand new portfolio of geospatial data, simply called BlomMETRO™. Comprising a wealth of information derived from aerial surveys, from false colour infrared imagery and 3D models to building and land use intelligence, BlomMETRO™ provides the clearest insight into the UK’s towns and cities currently available.

MetroHD™ is the first element of the suite to be released and comprises of high resolution vertical aerial photography available in both RGB orthophoto tiles and stereo pairs. Captured at a low flying height this imagery offers an unprecedented 4cm per pixel resolution and equally as impressive accuracy. Being many times sharper than traditional aerial photography MetroHD™ allows tasks such as asset management and urban planning to be completed with greater precision than ever before.
