What we do

Ontario Drone Solutions specializes in aerial mapping using drone-based LiDAR, multispectral, and thermal imaging systems.

Ontario Drone Solutions collects accurate, repeatable data for precision agriculture, construction, and infrastructure projects across Ontario and Canada.

Our operations are built around advanced flight planning and complex airspace environments, including controlled and restricted zones near airports.


All flights are conducted by licensed advanced RPAS pilots and carried out under $5 million aviation liability coverage, ensuring compliance, safety, and reliability on every project.

Whether the work involves digital twins, precision agriculture, site progress monitoring, or aerial mapping, we focus on delivering reliable data that helps teams plan, analyze, and make confident decisions in the field.

Whether you're hosting a festival, concert, sporting event, fair, or public gathering, our drone-based aerial data collection provides accurate crowd counts and population analytics to support better planning, reporting, and safety.    

Accurate Crowd Counts - Capture precise attendance figures instead of relying on estimates, giving organizers confidence in reported attendance.    

Enhanced Public Safety – Detect overcrowding early, assist security teams with situational awareness, and support emergency response planning.

Sponsor Reporting – Provide sponsors with verified audience numbers and visual evidence to demonstrate the reach and value of their investment.    

Real-Time Population Insights – Monitor crowd density, movement patterns, and occupancy throughout the event to support operational decisions as conditions change.    

Crowd Flow Analysis – Identify congestion points, entry and exit bottlenecks, and high-traffic areas to improve visitor experience and event layout.

Historical Analytics – Compare attendance and crowd behaviour across multiple events to improve planning and forecasting for future events.    

Cost-Effective Monitoring – Cover large venues with a single drone, reducing the need for extensive ground personnel while increasing situational awareness.    

Access to Large or Difficult Areas – Efficiently monitor parks, fairgrounds, race tracks, festivals, construction sites, and other expansive venues that are difficult to assess from the ground.    
‍
Marketing & Event Insights   – Understand peak attendance times, visitor distribution, and engagement zones to optimize vendor placement, programming, and future event planning.    

High-Resolution Aerial Documentation   – Capture professional aerial imagery and video that can be used for post-event reports, promotions, sponsor presentations, and social media.

Our drone-based aerial data collection helps farmers, agronomists, crop consultants, and agricultural businesses make data-driven decisions throughout the growing season.

Using high-resolution RGB, multispectral, thermal, and LiDAR sensors, we deliver accurate, repeatable insights that improve crop health, optimize inputs, and maximize yields.

Vegetation Indices
We generate a wide range of vegetation indices to assess crop vigor, stress, biomass, and overall plant health, including:
‍NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) – General crop health and vigor.
‍
‍NDRE (Normalized Difference Red Edge) – Detects mid-to-late season crop stress and nitrogen deficiencies.
‍
‍GNDVI (Green NDVI) – Evaluates chlorophyll concentration and photosynthetic activity.
‍
‍OSAVI (Optimized Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) – Reduces soil influence during early crop growth.
‍
‍SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) – Ideal for fields with sparse vegetation.
‍MSAVI (Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) – Improved early-season crop analysis where soil is highly visible.
‍
‍VARI (Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index) – Uses RGB imagery to assess vegetation where multispectral data is not required.

‍Custom vegetation indices tailored to your crop, sensor, and project requirements.

‍Crop Health Monitoring – Detect nutrient deficiencies, disease, pest pressure, and plant stress before visible symptoms appear.

‍Stand Counts & Emergence Analysis – Measure plant populations and evaluate emergence uniformity.

‍Field Scouting – Rapidly inspect hundreds of acres to identify problem areas requiring attention.

‍Variable Rate Application Support – Generate data to assist with variable-rate fertilizer, irrigation, seeding, and crop protection planning.

‍Thermal Crop Analysis – Detect irrigation problems, water stress, drainage issues, and temperature variations.
‍
‍Drainage & Water Management – Identify standing water, erosion, and poor drainage before they impact productivity.
‍
‍Seasonal Change Detection – Compare crop performance over time to evaluate management practices and crop development.
‍
‍High-Resolution Mapping – Produce orthomosaics, elevation models, field boundaries, and prescription-ready datasets.
‍Yield Optimization – Identify underperforming areas and opportunities to improve productivity while reducing input costs.

Our services are suitable for virtually any crop, Specialty Crops and Research Plots.

3D Photogrammetry and Digital twins

Transform real-world sites into accurate, high-resolution 3D models and digital twins using drone-based photogrammetry. Our aerial data collection allows engineers, architects, contractors, asset owners, and municipalities to visualize, measure, inspect, projects without repeated site visits.

‍High-Resolution 3D Models – REealistic, measurable 3D representations of buildings, infrastructure, quarries, mines, construction sites, and landscapes.

‍Digital Twins – Replicas of existing assets for planning, inspections, asset management, and long-term documentation.

‍Orthomosaic Mapping –We capture aerial imagery for engineering, planning, and GIS applications.

‍Topographic Mapping – we are able to generate detailed terrain models, contours, and elevation datasets for design and analysis.

‍Construction Progress Monitoring – Document projects at regular intervals to track progress, compare milestones, and communicate updates to stakeholders.As-Built Documentation – Capture accurate site conditions before, during, and after construction for record keeping and quality assurance.

‍Remote Site Inspections – Inspect assets virtually from the office, reducing travel time and improving safety.
‍
‍Surface & Volume Measurements – Calculate stockpile volumes, excavation quantities, landfill capacity, and earthwork progress with precision.
‍
Historical Project Records – Archive projects over time to compare changes, verify completed work, and support future planning.

‍Infrastructure Documentation – Capture roads, bridges, rail corridors, utilities, transmission lines, substations, and industrial facilities in high detail.

‍Virtual Site Walkthroughs – Allow teams, consultants, and clients to explore projects remotely using interactive 3D environments.
