Aerometrex has been at the forefront of cutting-edge spatial research & development. It is the company's ethos and drive for innovation that has helped it stay ahead of the curve in the industry. We also believe that, as a company, we should aim to give back to the industry and the people within it in every way possible. This includes researchers who are the key to future advances in this space.

MetroMap data that can support your research

2D Aerial Imagery

Request access to high-resolution aerial imagery from a range of epochs, across metro & regional Australia. Choose from 3-band / 4-band imagery based on availability. To learn about available datasets, you can view coverage extents through a free MetroMap trial.

LiDAR Data

Support your research with industry-leading LiDAR data. Request a standard 3D point cloud or derived datasets such as elevation data (DEM, DSM), vegetation metrics (such as canopy height models), contours, and other vector products.

3D Mesh Models

Our 3D data gives you access to high-resolution city mesh models that may provide context to your research project, help develop and visualise scenarios, or offer a comprehensive 3D base dataset for change monitoring.

Requesting Data: What You Should Know.

While we are committed to supporting research activities and supplying data for the same, as an organisation we may have certain constraints. There are a few parameters that shall govern whether we can support your research initiative, and our team will evaluate your request based on these. Please do provide as much detail as possible in your request application, to help us assess quickly and accurately.

Some of the critical parameters that may impact our decision to support your data request include:

Data availability
Data processing requirements
Scope of project
Size of data requested
No. of users with data access
