Geospatial services 

Image products derived from satellite, airborne and specifically UAV platforms offer a timely and relatively inexpensive means to supplement and update existing raster layers for change detection and other applications. Many organizations have significant experience in dealing with conventional raster data products and how to incorporate these products as part of a broader geospatial information layer.  

The GPS Group was founded specifically to address the challenges and requirements of  the UAV sector and to assist in the assessment and implementation of advanced UAS projects. Two of our partners have spent the last four years as part of one of Canada’s first commercial UAV services company.Collectively we have processed hundreds of UAV missions and produced a wide variety of image products for clients across North America. 

To ensure a successful long-term UAV program, a specialized understanding of all aspects of the acquisition and processing of UAV products is required, including hardware, piloting, mission planning and data production. The GPS Group uses Inpho from Trimble, a professional grade, advanced photogrammetry software package designed to produce the highest photogrammetric output. 

We're here to help, if you don't find precisely what your looking for, contact us and we will work it out together.
