State, Alberta and the Yukon to photogrammetric, GIS, engineering
and resource management users.
Experienced
Staff
Our primary strengths are the skills and experience of our dedicated
staff. With an average of over 10 years of aerial photography
experience in the Pacific Northwest, our team offers an unparalleled
understanding of the local industry. Our knowledge allows projects
to be completed quickly, efficiently and to your exact specifications.
An experienced aircrew is essential when working in a difficult
climatic environment such as British Columbia.
Local
Production
Selkirk operates primarily within British Columbia, but reaches
as far north as the Yukon and Alaska and as far south as southern
Oregon. Being based locally benefits our clients through:
Mapping companies,
the resource industry, government and utility agencies are the
primary users of aerial photography but we also have many clients
in real estate, architecture, surveying, engineering, environmental
studies and other areas of interest. We have completed jobs ranging
from 2 up to 5,000 pictures. Please contact
us for assistance with any aerial photography project. Our
onsite photo lab enables fast turnaround times for black-and-white
processing and for all your printing/enlarging requirements. Colour photography
is shipped FedEx Express to H.A.S. in Dayton, Ohio, giving a rapid 2-3 day turn around.
Low-cost, customized annotation and indexing are available to complete your
project.

state-of-the-art, high quality equipment in order to deliver the

Dimentional Flight Planning
For over 7 years Selkirk Remote sensing Ltd. has been using Topoflight,
a 3D planning software for photogrammetric and laser scanning
applications. Topoflight allows for:
-
interactive
planning of flight lines with the help of Digital Terrain
Model
-
documenting
the flight plan
-
transferring
it to flight management system of the camera
-
exporting
files to Google Earth for visualization
-
post
checking a flight plan (flying height, forward and side
overlap)
-
view and analyze photo scales at high resolution
By using Topoflight we are able to meet customers expectations of
high standards. The advantages of this software are apparent especially
on medium and large size projects with large terrain height differences.
