The term remote sensing refers to deriving information about the Earth's features from images acquired at a distance. For many projects, remote sensing is the only costeffective way to collect the required data. MGI works with a wide range of remote sensing solutions and offers a wide array of technical and production services related to remote imagery, including:
- aerial photography
- satellite imagery
- image orthorectification
- image correction, classification, and analysis
- photo-interpretation
- change detection
- information extraction
- development of digital terrain data
- contour mapping
- map and plan production
We offer a complete range of imagery-acquisition services, including the use of low-altitude aircraft equipped with multispectral sensors to acquire land images. Remotely-sensed imagery is used for wetland, habitat, and forest management, nonpoint pollution analysis, mineral and petroleum exploration, pipeline route selection, rightofway mapping, municipal mapping, petroleum and mining operations, and many other large and/or remote projects. We use satellite imagery products for many projects because it has superb image resolution and can be used as a standalone product or with GIS applications.
Aerial photography can be used to enhance any GIS or mapping product. There is no better approach to creating a base map than using a true representation of the ground from air photos. We can draw on an extensive archive of aerial imagery captured since 1999 to provide clients with color, 1-meter resolution aerial photography for the entire province of Alberta. We can also prepare your images for seamless integration into your GIS or mapping products.
