I•Archive is an innovative system for hosting large amounts of aerial photographs, that can be viewed as georefrenced mosaics in stereo 3D, as well as ordinary "flat" mosaics.

There are a number of advantages in using the I•Archive system.

• Stereoscopic 3D mosaics
  The aerial photos can be displayed as stereoscopic 3D mosaics, and you can pan and zoom in the same way as with "ordinary" images
• Access anywhere
  We host the digitized aerial photos for you and generate georeferenced mosaics that are delivered as a Web Map Service (WMS). The images are therefore accessible from any application that can handle a WMS such as GIS and WebGIS systems as well as smart phone applications and can therefore be used directly with other geodata.
• Easy distribution
  We host the images as a WMS and you decide who you would like to have access to the images. For example, different government agencies or contractors can access the same images without the need for sending large files to the different users - all they need is to connect to the WMS.
• Cost-effective
  The I•Archive system is cost-effective and compared to other methods, for example orthorectified mosaics, there are substantial savings to be made.
• Flexibility
  The system is flexible and images can easily be added or replaced. The system is fully scalable and there are no lower or upper limits to the number of photos that it can handle.

Currently, we host more than 100.000 aerial photos from 1945 to the present day for more than 40 customers.

Copenhagen 1966 in stereo 3D When you use I•Achive, you can also show your historical aerial photos in stereo 3D. This example shows the central part of Copenhagen in 1966.

Historical Aerial Photographs The I•Archive system is perfectly suited for converting your historical aerial photo archives stored as paper contact-copies or negative film-rolls to digitized archives that you and your customers can access easily with a WMS.
