Proof
We are new. The method is not.
We would rather show you how the work is done than tell you who else has bought it. Below is what you receive, how it is produced, and what it is accurate to.
What actually lands in your inbox
Findings report page
Every anomaly with coordinates, measurement, severity and a photo pair.
Radiometric thermal frame
R-JPEG with the emissivity and reflected-temperature assumptions recorded.
Orthomosaic tile
GeoTIFF in the projection you ask for.
Surface model
DSM and DTM for measurement and volumes.
Point cloud view
Georeferenced, in formats your engineering tools open.
Flight record sheet
Log, pilot, airspace authorization and equipment serials, attached by default.
How we know the ground is where we say it is
The base station, the correction workflow, and the checks. Published, because most operators will not.
01
Base station
An Emlid Reach RS4 Pro is set over a known or surveyed point before the first flight.
02
Base coordinates
The base position is post-processed through NRCan’s CSRS-PPP service, so the absolute position is tied to the national reference frame, not to a GPS guess.
03
Rover corrections
The aircraft receives corrections from the base or from network RTK configured in DJI Pilot 2; every exposure is tagged with its corrected position.
04
Fallback
The base logs RINEX for the whole flight. If the RTK link drops, the data is post-processed (PPK) instead of discarded.
05
Checks
Independent check points are measured and compared to the model, and the residuals go in the report rather than a brochure.
Accuracy
Stated per project in the report, against measured check points.
Where this degrades
Under tree canopy or beside tall structures, where the sky view shrinks and multipath rises.
On long baselines from the base station.
Without ground control, on sites that need absolute accuracy rather than relative.
