A New Oblique Geometry Concept
The new MIDAS features a new unique oblique geometry concept. Contrary to the previous MIDAS systems, our engineers have improved upon the traditional five cameras configuration with four oblique cameras pointing in four opposite cardinal directions: forward, backward, right, and left with a vertical camera pointing straight down. The new MIDAS system can be best described as a 3D mapping cone. In the case of the Midas6PACK the cameras generate a continuous 360 degrees oblique coverage which extends from the nadir up to 60 degrees (30 degrees below horizon). The camera cone therefore looks uninterruptedly in all directions around the airplane, not just in four unconnected directions like most 3D systems today. The advantage of the Midas6PACK is that its cameras capture a true continuous strip of images comparable to what a super large format camera with a single wide-angle lens would generate. The Midas6PACK Suitable for any project sizes, the Midas6PACK is the most efficient Midas system ever.
As Lead’air is devoted to selling state of the art 3D aerial cameras at an affordable price, we have entirely redesigned the MIDAS to meet the demand for high-quality and high-accuracy aerial cameras for smaller aerial operators and mapping companies who cannot afford investing one million dollars or more for their equipment. The new MIDAS systems have all been fully tested and have successfully generated beautiful and accurate 3D city models on the Skyline Photomesh software.

How to MIDAS 6Pack the Samples Locally
The following 3D Photomesh sample is courtesy of Lead'Air, Inc, and Skyline Software Systems, Inc. In combination with Lead'Air's innovative MIDAS 6PACK, the following model generated by PhotoMesh faithfully reproduce the fine details of an aerial survey- all with advanced color balancing and high-quality texturing. To view a particular kit, you must download and install Terra Explorer. This demo version of Terra Explorer does not require a license to view the kit.
Download TerraExplorer Installer Download the Demo GuideAfter having downloaded and installed Terra Explorer, review the following 3D PhotoMesh Sample:
- Click on the buttons below to download the complete Sample Kit or an Area of Interest.
- Once downloaded, unzip the file and double-click the Default.fly file. This will automatically open the kit in Terra Explorer.
