Aerial Image Acquisition and Custom Mapping 

First Base Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.D. Barnes Limited, provides technology to meet the growing demand for geospatial data. We recognize your
need for aerial imagery with faster turnaround, higher resolution, quality and
better accuracy. Our 14 aircraft fly on demand to acquire imagery of specific sites
at resolutions to meet your accuracy requirements. Product delivery can be provided within days and additional mapping can be undertaken to extract features and
ground and surface elevations from the controlled stereo model datasets.

UofOttawa Aerial Mapping

Our Capabilities Include

Airborne Surveying

We capture high-resolution aerial imagery using fixed-wing aircraft, UAVs, and satellite-based platforms, tailored to your project's geographic and technical requirements.

Orthophotography

We deliver orthorectified imagery with uniform scale and spatial accuracy, ideal for integration into GIS systems, CAD platforms, and detailed engineering workflows.

LiDAR Mapping

High-density point cloud data is collected using airborne LiDAR systems, enabling accurate terrain modeling and feature extraction—even through dense vegetation.

Surface Modeling

Our Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) provide detailed elevation data for analysis in engineering, environmental, and planning applications.

Planimetric Mapping

We extract and map detailed ground features such as roads, curbs, utilities, buildings, and vegetation in 2D or 3D to support design and asset management.

Contours

From LiDAR or stereo imagery, we generate contour lines to illustrate terrain shape and elevation, supporting drainage studies, grading design, and environmental assessments.

3D Mesh and Visualization

We create textured 3D mesh models by combining imagery with elevation data, ideal for city modeling, site visualization, and simulation environments.

Historical Mapping

We process archived aerial imagery using modern techniques to produce georeferenced maps, supporting historical land use analysis and change detection.
