UAV Remote Sensing - Application Development
FY 2014-15
Summary
KBM Resources Group is a Northwestern Ontario based resource development consulting company whichprovides aerial survey data acquisition and value added post processing services. KBM currently capturesairborne survey data using two company owned fixed wing aircraft equipped with a variety of imaging sensors.Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) and miniaturized sensor technology has been steadily improving over the lastfive years to the point where several manufacturers offer commercial UAV platforms that show promise forremote sensing applications. KBM is looking to develop innovative UAV remote sensing applications todiversify current product offerings. Key to the marketability of UAV acquired survey data is being able tobenchmark products to current proven systems (i.e. the industry standard). This project will look to compareUAV acquired survey data to the current industry standards, to validate new potential data products andservices for the remote sensing market. This project will be the first research partnership between KBM andConfederation College and will serve as a launch point for future UAV research projects focused on the testingand validating of project deliverables, new miniaturized sensors, evaluation, and training.
