Novel Remote Sensing Techniques Designed for Canada’s Arctic
FY 2021-22 · 2021-05-03
Summary
The impacts of climate change are felt strongly in north; affecting ecosystems, sustainability of northern infrastructure, and the ways of life for northern Canadians. This drives a need for increased temporal monitoring of environment and infrastructure susceptible to climate change. Alietum is developing a manned-aircraft based system for mapping large scale survey areas in the north. The purpose of the proposed project is to develop a system for large scale aerial mapping using direct georeferencing. The success of this project will allow for high accuracy, repeatable large scale monitoring at a reduced cost to the end client, using equipment and processes tailored specifically for remote arctic locations.

This drives a need for increased temporal monitoring of environment and infrastructure susceptible to climate change. Alietum is developing a manned-aircraft based system for mapping large scale survey areas in the north.

Description (French)
Les impacts des changements climatiques sont fortement ressentis dans le Nord; ils affectent les écosystèmes, la durabilité des infrastructures nordiques et le mode de vie des Canadiens du Nord. Il est donc nécessaire de renforcer la surveillance temporelle de l'environnement et des infrastructures sensibles aux changements climatiques. Alietum met au point un système basé sur un aéronef piloté pour cartographier des zones d'étude à grande échelle dans le Nord. L'objectif du projet proposé est de concevoir un système de cartographie aérienne à grande échelle utilisant le géoréférencement direct. La réussite de ce projet permettra une surveillance à grande échelle, de haute précision et reproductible, à un coût réduit pour le client final, en utilisant des équipements et des processus spécialement conçus pour des régions arctiques éloignées.
