With over thirty years of expertise in airborne photogrammetry, geoprocessing, and remote sensing, Fototerra has become a trusted provider of geospatial intelligence for industries including infrastructure, energy, mining, agriculture, environment, and archaeology. Based in Brasil and operating across South and North America, the company supports projects in both onshore and offshore environments — from complex urban development to large-scale environmental monitoring.
To continue meeting the demand for accurate and efficient mapping across vast and complex environments, Fototerra has expanded its airborne fleet with the Leica DMC-4. The system is designed to deliver exceptional image fidelity over large project areas — an important factor for Fototerra.

for multiple photogrammetric and remote sensing applications
“Our decision to acquire a new system was based on our positive experience with Leica Geosystems products, which have always proven reliable and efficient for data acquisition,” explained Luis Antonion de Lima, CTO at Fototerra. “The choice of the DMC-4 system was driven by its high performance, geometric and spectral image quality, and, above all, its processing workflow, which will expedite the delivery of final products.”
Fototerra envisions a future where cutting-edge LiDAR technologies redefine the boundaries of geospatial exploration and where airborne bathymetric surveys empower its customers with greater precision and efficiency in data acquisition — unlocking new possibilities across both land and water environments.
“We’re proud to see Fototerra continue to grow with our technology,” added John Welter, President, Geospatial Content Solutions (GCS), Hexagon’s Geosystems division. “The Leica DMC-4 is an excellent fit for their ambitious large-scale mapping projects, and we look forward to seeing them leverage its precision capabilities to deliver even greater value and impact for their customers.”
