Aerial Data for Every Major City
Access to real ground truth starts from above with the ability to capture reality in remarkably sharp resolution. Vexcel flies year-round across major urban areas of Canada, including the greater areas of Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa and more. Aerial imagery is collected using award-winning camera sensor technology. That aerial data is then put through a rigorous production process to produce imagery that is 16 times clearer than satellite imagery. It’s a complete end-to-end technology solution offering compelling location content to help you plan your projects with confidence.

Multiple views of each property
Oblique
Urban areas in Canada are more clearly understood with our ultra-high-resolution Oblique imagery. It helps you see the world from multiple viewpoints, giving you the ability to virtually tour a property or location with ease. Get access to all four cardinal directions–north, south, east, west–to improve your perspective and understanding of a location.
Delivered at a resolution of 7.5cm, Oblique imagery is matched against ground control points in a lossless compression format where the integrity of each pixel is maintained and is accurate to within a two-pixel standard deviation. This results in incredible detail with valuable metadata you can extract from the image directly or integrate into powerful analytics platforms.
True Ortho
Nothing improves your visualization more than our True Ortho aerial imagery, helping bring the real world into view with consistency and unmatched accuracy.
Our True Ortho imagery is matched against our Digital Surface Model, to create a more accurate top-down view of urban areas. This means you get imagery with no visible seamlines or parallax (building lean), all delivered at a resolution of 7.5cm.
Multispectral
Bring the unseeable into view with our Multispectral aerial data, helping you go beyond an image and perform more in-depth analysis. Near-infrared (NIR) imagery is collected during our regular captures and is processed and delivered as Color-infrared (CIR).
This colorized form of imagery highlights details that can’t be seen with the naked eye. It helps viewers quickly categorize vegetation and other surfaces, helping identify plant health, soil moisture, water clarity, and wetland mapping. It’s extremely valuable data for monitoring environmental changes.
Elevate: DSM & DTM
The need for trusted 3D visualization is felt globally and we offer a clear solution with our Elevate products: Digital Surface Model (DSM) and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data. With DSM/DTM you can transform your workflows with a stronger context and deeper understanding of the earth’s surface and structures on that surface. DSM data provides a 3D view of objects that sit on the earth’s surface. DTM shows the bare earth with objects removed. Plus, our DSM data has a perfect pixel-to-data match with our True Ortho and Multispectral imagery, creating perfect spatial alignment between elevation data and imagery for a more consistent, trusted output.
Visualize Real Ground Truth
Beyond ortho imagery, obliques provide a distinct advantage in visualization, mainly the ability to see a property from all four cardinal directions. Remove tree cover obstructions, see around and under building eaves, and maneuver between structures to get the full perspective. Obliques help you build the full story on a specific location.
