Industries

Accurate, up-to-date imagery and LiDAR data have applications that span a broad spectrum of industries. As a backdrop to planning and operations, they play essential roles in the decision-making process.

Oil & Gas Quality imagery and LiDAR data offer significant value in many phases of exploration and production. Access and program planning, seismic program layout, surface features and encumbrances, and well spotting all rely on current, accurate imagery and LiDAR data to enhance their overall efficiency and effectiveness.
Government Many government departments and functions – for example, resource management, transportation, environment, agriculture, energy, parks and recreation – experience more streamlined workflows when they employ imagery and LiDAR data for planning, infrastructure upgrading, surface features and habitat issues.
Utilities & Infrastructure Right-of-way planning and monitoring benefit greatly from accurate, high-resolution imagery. As well, current imagery is essential to the efficient upgrading and expansion of such assets.
Environmental With accurate aerial imagery and LiDAR data, you can efficiently monitor land use activity and assess its environmental impact. Environment impact from proposed land use development is also easier to assess.
Real Estate Land development in both urban and rural areas can be undertaken more effectively through the use of current, high-resolution imagery.
Defense & Intelligence Spatial Data in the form of either LiDAR data or imagery is extremely useful to the defense and intelligence industry. It is used in many capacities including: defense mapping, protection and security mapping, logistics and military engineering. Our imagery is also widely used for homeland security, border protection and natural disaster management and prevention.
Forestry Aerial imagery and LiDAR data are invaluable in the planning and development of forestry harvesting programs (including difficult areas of steep terrain and river or creek crossings). Also, with modern digital sensors, highly accurate forest inventories can be extracted from the data.
Emergency Planning High-resolution LiDAR data and aerial imagery is a powerful tool for the planning needs of various agencies, governments and organizations while planning for any emergency, whether natural or man-made. In particular, high quality aerial imagery and LiDAR data is frequently used to support all aspects of emergency management including mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
Agriculture Remote sensing has valuable applications in crop monitoring, land development and agricultural land use. Monitoring crops (in terms of their identity, stage of growth, predicted yields and health) is a major endeavor…and an excellent example of the value of multi-temporal observations, as multiple views during the growing season allow better crop type determinations and productivity estimates. Vegetation distribution and characteristics in forests and grasslands also are easy to determine. Further, drainage and more effective land uses can be accurately developed from the data.
