AlterGeo Holding is the world's only company to have integrated a
gyro-stabilized large-format photogrammetric camera system onto
ultralight aircraft.
We stand out
from the competition.
Ultralight and powerfull
The 600kg Light Sport Aircraft is a groundbreaking innovation in
lightweight composite aircraft production, earning the title of
"Polish Product of the Future" in 2004. This remarkable aircraft
has won the Aerospace Expo SUN 'n FUN in Florida, USA, three times
- in 2018, 2019, and 2021. Additionally, it claimed the top spot
at the prestigious "Best of the Best" competition at the South
African Air Fair, outperforming around 100 competing aircraft
models from around the world.
Remotely controlled around the Globe via satellite connection.
The remote access to onboard computers enables a seamless data
acquisition process from a ground station located in the office.
This setup provides the pilot with robust support from the ground,
allowing them to concentrate on precise flight and safety in
compliance with international aviation regulations.
Outstanding carrying capacity
With an impressive payload capacity of over 60 kg, our system
supports large-format sensors such as the PhaseOne 280 MP
stabilized camera and long-range LiDAR scanners for simultaneous
data acquisition. This capability vastly outperforms drones,
enhancing acquisition efficiency by a factor of one hundred.

Performance
Up to 100 better performance than drones
Extremely low cost of exploitation of ultralight aircraft and
long range allowe reach remote destination without terrestrial
roads. Fast data acquisition shorten time spending on mission.
Much cheaper than a helicopter and large plane
- Low and slow flight gives similar results, especially in corridor mapping.
- Short take-off and landing run (approx. 100 m) enlarge operational flexibility.
- Low and slow flight gives extremely high resolution and high precision of observation unreachable from big airplane.
- Costs of aircraft maintenance, service and exploitation are incomparable.
The Alter-Eye is a full composite custom carbon fibre designed high
wing monoplane with remarkable individual features and performance.

Integrations examples
The advantage of Alter-Eye compared to drones is high operability,
resulting from the high take-off weight allowed by the regulations,
which allowing the placeing off efficient devices and large fuel
reserves on board - increasing the range and duration of air missions,
even up to several hours.
Phase One PAS 280 with Somag Stabilizer
The Phase One PAS 280 MP large format camera on the Alter-Eye
captures data at an impressive 1 cm GSD resolution. With a
resolution range between 1 and 10 cm GSD, it provides the
optimal precision required for accurate measurements across
various industries.

Riegl VQ780i ALS
The Long Range LIDAR scanner mounted on the Alter-Eye delivers
dense measurements ranging from 200 to 2 points per square
meter, depending on the flight altitude. Its field of view is
synchronized with a photogrammetric RGB and NIR camera,
enabling the simultaneous collection of both types of data
during a single flight. This integration ensures perfectly
correlated data for comprehensive future analysis.
Dense point cloud
Digital Terrain Model
NEO Hyspex VNIR + SWIR
These unique cameras provide exceptional spectral resolution,
capturing data across 540 bands for each pixel. With a
spectral range from 400 to 2500 nm, they reveal details
invisible to the human eye, such as mineral compositions,
hidden pollutants, and early signs of plant disease. Ideal for
scientific research and machine learning analytical
techniques, these cameras uncover hidden truths and offer
unparalleled insights.

Infrastructure - corridor mapping
This ALS collection, featuring 30 points per square meter and 5 cm GSD in RGB and NIR, was conducted by Alter-Eye for corridor mapping of a mountain railway. It replaced traditional surveying during the reconstruction and modernization of railway tracks. Drones face significant challenges with such tasks due to the need for hundreds of mini-projects.
Visit our laboratory
in Poland.
Before investing approximately $0.5 million in Alter-Eye, we
recommend experiencing the technology firsthand. Visit our
multisensory technology laboratory in the Carpathian region, at
the heart of Europe. Collect your first demo data and observe the
production process of Alter-Eye. Establish personal relationships
with the team who will support you when challenges arise.
Discover the birthplace of the world's first petrochemical and
petroleum company, established in 1854 by Ignacy Łukasiewicz,
Karol Klobassa-Zrencki, and Tytus Trzecieski. Stay at the
magnificent Hotel Palace Polanka, where the company had its first
office. Enjoy a test flight over this beautiful and historic area.
