RPAS platforms and sensors have come a long way since their commerical adoption almost a decade ago and have quickly become a main stay of many professional's tool kits. This show's the industry's appetite for adopting new technologies and matching them up with the right application. With a pannel of very experienced professionals from various sectors of Canada's Geospatial RPAS scene, we explore what has driven sensor development and how sensors might further develop along the lines of use c...
How do hydrographic surveys, aerial Remote Sensing and GIS help with environmental efforts? Terra explores 2 projects that use a combination of different sensors and visualizations to achieve these goals. The projects include a rapid marine data collection supported by Aerial LiDAR to aid in rescue efforts of a trapped Orca cafe, and using LiDAR with GIS to support change detection efforts of a major land slide.

The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) defines human footprint as the visible alteration or conversion of native ecosystems to temporary or permanent residential, recreational, agricultural, or industrial landscapes. It also includes land that is periodically reset to earlier successional conditions by industrial activities such as forestry harvest areas and seismic lines. To monitor and map human footprint across Alberta, the ABMI, in partnership with the Alberta Human Footprin...
Maintaining undisturbed habitat is key to the recovery strategy of the Woodland Caribou boreal population. Seismic lines have been identified as a human footprint feature that requires specific attention for habitat restoration in part because linear features are linked to increases in the predation rates of caribou as they provide lines of sight and easy transportation routes for predators. It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of kilometers of seismic lines within Alberta (AB...
The integration of AI in infrastructure modeling has the potential to revolutionize decision-making processes by providing accurate predictions, identifying vulnerabilities, and optimizing resource utilization.The increasing complexity of modern infrastructure systems, coupled with growing demands on utilities, has necessitated the adoption of advanced analytical techniques. This panel discussion brings together ideas from acad...
Today, digital twins, autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) dominate the lexicon of the geomatics industry. These capabilities provide significant productivity advantages to our profession, but our domain content and knowledge are critical to their success. These tools will change the way we work and transform the industry. However, they will not replace us, but rather change our role. This is no different than when the EDM, total station, CAD, or GPS became part of our professional lives...

With drones like the DJI Matrice 300 now being positioned using RTK GNSS, combined with Structure from Motion (SfM), high precision mosaics are possible without deploying targets. The ability to mount lidars (DJI L1 and L2) and other optical sensors (RGB, multispectral, thermal) allows for precise surveying and the production of high resolution and high accuracy mosaics with minimal ground control. While battery power still remains an issue and the limiting factor for flight duration (10’s of...
