Experience
Featured team member
Cameron Logan
With over four years of dedicated service at Hummingbird, Cameron has amassed thousands of hours operating advanced, technically demanding equipment in diverse and challenging environments. His expertise spans controlled and restricted airspaces, urban centers, and active wildfire zones.
Cameron has successfully led numerous high-stakes "one shot missions," where data collection opportunities are singular and often constrained by access via float plane or helicopter. These missions require precision and reliability, qualities Cameron consistently delivers.
From remote LiDAR operations and hotspot detection over wildfires to aerial ignition in post-harvest forestry blocks, we deploy Cameron with unwavering confidence. His exceptional skills and experience ensure mission success in even the most demanding conditions.
Products
Our team will ask all the right questions before your project even starts to make sure that data collection, data processing, and product delivery are seamless.
Classified point clouds
Millions of points three dimensionally accurate to within centimeters. Each point classified into ground, trees, buildings, etc.
Canopy Height Models
A canopy height model illustrates the difference between the DEM and DSM. Tree count and heights can be derived for precise harvesting.
Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
A bare earth topographic surface of the Earth excluding trees, buildings, and any other surface objects.
Displacement and Subsidence Tracking
Landslides, unstable slopes and subsiding terrain modelling.
Digital Surface Models (DSM)
A model of earth that includes natural and artificial features of the environment like trees, buildings, and bridges.
Orthomosaics
RGB data captured simultaneously with LiDAR for point cloud colourization and 2D orthomosaic generation.
Featured Projects
As a subcontractor for NHC, Hummingbird collected 650 hectares of Lidar and orthoimagery over Thompson River and the surrounding banks to support low water level and erosion analysis. The project area was within the control zone of the local airport, requiring coordination and regular communication with air traffic control.
Northwest Hydraulic Consultants
Sun Peaks contracted Hummingbird to update mountain digital elevation models after earth works were completed. Thirty-seven sites were flown with our RPAS LiDAR unit. Ground points were classified, accuracy was refined and brought within tolerance to match historic data within centimeters, for every site.
