High Resolution Imagery

Using drone aircraft Shrink Ray produces high resolution aerial imagery. No need to book an airplane fly-over, Shrink Ray can collect these images using a small drone. But don’t let the size fool you, Shrink Ray composites thousands of individual photographs into a single large image sometimes known as an “ortho-photo” due to its lack of distortion from a lens. Shrink Ray’s process can scan anything from a house or yard up to large properties or campuses. These large images are perfect for maps.

Isn’t This Like Satellite Imagery?

No, it’s better! Shrink Ray’s high resolution imagery has several advantages over free online satellite maps.

Higher Quality
Shrink Ray’s images are more detailed and contain appealing colors. In contrast, satellite images can become fuzzy when you zoom in or have washed out colors.

On-Demand
Most properties look their best in the summer with green lawns, lush trees, and colorful gardens. Shrink Ray can schedule flights for any time of year to capture the perfect view.

True Top Down View
Some satellite images are taken from an angle and can show highly slanted views of the side of a building. Shrink Ray’s “orthos-photos” are always true top down photos, like a map. All lens distortion is corrected as well.
