We are excited to announce the addition of the survey-grade Geocue Trueview 540 LiDAR sensor to our toolkit. The TrueView 540 integrates survey-grade high-precision LiDAR, an accurate positioning and orientation system, and a 45mp full-frame industrial camera.

As part of a pilot project Spitfire performed a thermal drone survey of a Fraser Valley Creek to determine the feasibility and accuracy of producing a radiometric orthomosaic to determine water temperatures. 

Battling strong winds, below zero temperatures and hours before a snowstorm descended on the city, we successfully performed the LIDAR/Imaging monitoring night mission safely over trees and under a bridge using night vision and beacons lighting up the drone.

Spitfire is excited to announce that we have upgraded our 3D Imaging System from the TrueView 515 to the new and improved TrueView 535 3D Imaging System.

The commercial drone lidar industry is transitioning from big, heavy, and expensive to small, light and low cost systems. Make sure you choose your survey partner wisely.

Thermal imagery is a game-changing technology that allows you to spot issues in real-time, from energy leaks to electrical faults, all without ever leaving the ground.

Using SLAM laser scanning in surveying saves time and costs while providing the high-quality data necessary for informed decision-making in complex design projects.
