Land scanning or Image Property Mapping is a process that consists of taking hundreds or even thousands of individual Georeferenced aerial images of a property and then "stitching" them together into a single high-resolution mosaic that can be viewed or printed in great detail in it's entirety.

Once these files are created they can be used in a variety of ways. They can be viewed online, they can be printed, they can be converted into virtual 3 dimensional models that can be manipulated in 360 degree space and viewed from any angle, they can be exported as Georeferenced Image files that can be used in other applications like GIS mapping systems, Google Earth or Auto CAD, they can even be converted to 3D objects and printed on a 3D printer, and they can be converted through software algorithms to provide a wealth of other information including NDVI, plant health, plant height, crop stand counts and other data.

There are a number of reasons one might want to image map a property in addition to taking individual aerial photos or video. A vineyard developer, manager or engineering company might want to image map a property in order to analyze slope and contour data to determine plantable acreage for instance, or to run analysis and estimates for providing equipment access and land development. Vineyard owners and managers might want to look at particular aspects of a vineyard or vineyard block during the growing season to analyze irrigation issues, manage fertilization and pests, perform root counts or monitor plant health, absentee builders and property owners may want to monitor the progress of construction projects, or property owners may simply want a single contiguous high resolution image of their property that they can view or print for their own purpose.
