Built 1980, ex N4845Y, N80FM. This aircraft has been modified with a special photographic survey pod called a ‘Hyperpod’ developed by Nearmap Pty Ltd. It replaces their previous Cessna 210s, VH-TKQ and VH-ZIO. The aircraft flies at a high altitude, enabling entire cities to be captured in a day or two. Once the imagery is captured, it is processed through super computers which run software known as ‘HyperVision’ which automatically processes and stitches together the many individual photographs captured into one virtually seamless PhotoMap. Along with traditional top-down photography, the HyperPod is also able to capture oblique aerial photographs from 4 different angles and digital elevation model data at the same time.
