What Is an Orthomosaic Map—and Why Builders and Site Teams Use It
An orthomosaic is one of the most useful deliverables in aerial mapping because it’s simple: a high-resolution, measurable map created from drone imagery. For builders, site teams, and land development work across the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island, an orthomosaic can reduce confusion, improve coordination, and provide a clean baseline for planning. What is an…
LiDAR vs Photogrammetry: Which Drone Data Is Right for Your Project?
f you’re planning a build, managing a forestry block, tracking stockpiles, or documenting infrastructure on Vancouver Island, the first question isn’t “do we need a drone?” It’s what type of data do we actually need? LiDAR and photogrammetry both create powerful 3D outputs-but they solve different problems. Here’s how to choose the right tool for…
