LIDAR SERVICES
LiDAR is and active remote sensing technology that uses laser light to detect and measure surface features on the earth. Silvacare has the latest software and hardware to manage the large and various formats of LiDAR datasets. We have experience in using LiDAR point data to prepare 3D DEMs, DTMs and Lillshade models and utilizing the datasets for vegetation analysis, road delineation and site selection. Silvacare also has expertise in the tendering phase of LiDAR contracts.
MOBILE SERVICES
The field of mobile mapping and data colletion is quickly evolving and growing. We have embraced new technology for some of our forestry and municipal clients. We have set up customized mobile data colletion forms for iOS to collect features and display spatially. Examples include; cultural inventory features for Taan Forests in Haida Gwaii and inspection and inventory of engineering infrastructure features for the Town of Comox.
