Drone Flights & Services

High-resolution drone deliverables

Safety-forward drone flights for Canadian exploration & mining projects.

We provided licensed & insured on-site drone services including 2D & 3D mapping, digital elevation models, LiDAR point clouds and photo-textured 3D meshes, as well as off-site data processing, consulting and mission support.

Rugged terrain, technical infrastructure or active mine site? We’re experts in terrain-aware flight and autonomous missions and can fly safely and efficiently within any project layout.

G.I.S. Imagery

High-resolution georeferenced 2D imagery, primed for map-making.

3D Meshes

Photo-realistic digital 3D models of landscapes and infrastructure.

Elevation Data

Digital Elevation Models covering your area of interest plus RTK precision data.

Video, Photos & 360s

Aerial and ground-level footage of your project area and highlights.

G.I.S. Imagery

Georeferenced, orthorectified aerial imagery that drops directly into all of your G.I.S. and mapping software.

Our drone-acquired map imagery provides a level of detail (typically 1 to 2 cm) that’s far beyond the resolution and quality of traditional airborne and satellite imagery.

Digital Elevation Data

As well as capturing map imagery, our drones also create high-resolution elevation models (and contour lines) of your main project area.  

We produce the two main types of digital elevation models (DEM), namely Digital Surface Models (DSM) which includes tree heights and buildings/infrastructure, as well as ‘bare earth’ Digital Terrain Models (DTM).  

We also provide RTK (Real time kinematic) survey-quality data for projects requiring ultra high precision.

3D Textured Meshes

Photo-textured 3D meshes are superior to 2.5D G.I.S. data in that vertical and near-vertical surfaces such as pit walls and buildings are covered with photography, and objects with under-hangs, such as bridges or trees, are accurately depicted. We integrate these 3D drone scans into our presentation products for the highest realism.

Video, Photos & 360s

4K HDR aerial video, slow motion, time lapses, 48MP stills, high-detail panoramas and rotatable 360s.  We’ll edit the raw video footage and produce a selection of final clips that we can include in a full corporate video or advertisement.
