Precision Surveying

Mobile Mapping

Vehicular Mobile Mapping

Navigation

Three separate systems to track and record position.

GNSS Satellite Receiver

The Global Navigation Satellite System

precisely records position and altitude.

Inertial Measurement Unit

Accelerometers are used to track motion

in every direction. Improves positional

accuracy when changing speed or direction.

Dual Wheel Encoders

Measure exact velocity and distance

traveled. This allows the cameras to be

triggered at precise distance intervals

when speed is not constant

(driving on urban streets).

Data Collection

HD Imaging and precise LiDAR measurements

LiDAR

A Velodyne eye safe laser is used to

collect 1.3 million 3D points per second

with an accuracy of less than 3

centimeters at up to 100

meters in all directions.

360 Degree Imaging

The Ladybug 360 creates HD

panoramic images that can be used

for Virtural Reality tours or mapped to

the LiDAR point cloud to create

3D models.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Our UAVs (Drones) are flown by trained operators, registered with Nav Canada for operations in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.

We have a restricted radio operator on staff allowing us to coordinate our operations around air traffic.

All of our aircraft are flown under a Restricted-Complex SFOC (Special Flight Operations Certificate) from Transport Canada, which allows us to operate near airports and within urban areas.

Navigation

Three separate systems to track and record position.

GNSS Satellite Receiver

Tracks up to 32 GPS and GLONASS satellites to precisely record position and altitude.

Compass

Provides directional data and is used to detect and avoid electromagnetic interference.

Inertial Measurement Units

Are used to stabilize the UAV and camera systems as well as provide information about the motion of the UAV.

Data Collection

Multi-spectral imagery and 4K video

Our multi-spectral camera is unfiltered allowing it to capture InfraRed (IR), Visual, and UltraViolet (UV) imagery.

Visual Photogrammetry

Photos can be used to create moderately accurate 3D models.

Well suited for initial surveys and mapping aggressive terrain.

InfraRed (IR)

Infrared imagery can be used to assess plant health, vegetation density, and to search for man made objects including metals, plastics, and composites.

Normalized density maps such as Normalized Density Vegetation Index (NDVI), Burn Area Index (BAI), and Normalized Density Water Index (NDWI) may be performed.

UltaViolet (UV)

Ultraviolet imagery can be used to emphasize scratches and surface damage, differentiate between different materials, detect specific plants, and inspect UV coatings on buildings and windows.

Precision Surveying

Data Collection

Precision Laser and GPS position measurements can be used for surveying and enabling the use of Machine Control Equipment.

GPS Surveying

Our GPS survey equiptment is able to track over 200 positioning satelites in the GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS constellations. Land Based Transmitters are used to provide calibration data to produce data with centimeter accuracy.
