Q&A Session
The workshop will be held June 11-12, 2015 at the Hilton
Garden Inn, Toronto/Ajax, with technical demonstrations
at VicDom Sand & Gravel, Uxbridge. Please note the
demonstration flights will take place at an active quarry
site; personal protective gear (steel-toed shoes, hard hat, hi-
vis jacket) will be mandatory. Please bring appropriate gear
with you as “loaners” will be limited.
Space for the workshop is limited with a maximum of
2 persons per company. Please note that a passport is
required for travel between the USA and Canada.
To register for this event please visit
. Registration will be located under AirGon Technical
Workshop for Drone Collected Volumetrics. The registration
fee for this event is $300 USD.

Spectral Evolution’s
PSR+ NIR spectroradiometer provides
accurate, non-destructive, portable soil measurement
capabilities.
While hyperspectral imaging using flyovers or satellites
has grown in popularity, ground truthing satellite data
and measuring soil characteristics in the field is even more
critical, especially in areas where vegetation can obscure the
soil. The PSR+ full range field portable spectroradiometer
is a crucial tool in collecting accurate soil properties for the
creation of a soil map.
With the PSR+ in the field, you can quickly scan and save
spectra for analysis of the following soil parameters:
•
Soil moisture
•
Soil texture, including sand and clay mixtures in soil
•
Mineral identification
•
Presence of organic carbon including biomass data
•
Salinity
•
Degradation and contamination
The PSR+ is an ideal instrument for field work by a single
researcher. It is lightweight, highly reliable (no moving
optical parts to break down), and offers unmatched resolution
and sensitivity for cleaner/clearer spectra.

is pleased to announce the
a complete redesign of its highly popular Cavity Monitoring
System that introduces a live video feed, cable-free operation,
and other critical new features that improve safety and
efficiency in underground mining.
With hundreds of units sold, the Optech CMS has been the
ideal scanning solution for dangerous and inaccessible cavities
in underground mining operations for years, improving
safety by letting operators stand clear as the sensor head
surveys. The accurate 3D data collected by the CMS improves
mine operation efficiency by providing accurate insight into
the mine’s actual structure and the results of blasting, and
increases mine profitability by verifying actual cavity size
and orientation. The system is easy to transport, set up and
operate, enabling the user to define laser scan parameters.
With the CMS V500, Teledyne Optech has completely
redesigned this tool to offer brand-new features and a robust,
reliable, all-in-one system. A new camera integrated in the
sensor head lets operators measure and visually inspect ore
passes and shafts simultaneously to improve maintenance as
well as safety. The CMS V500 sensor head also contains an
internal battery for improved ruggedness and true cable-free
operation with the new wireless controller. Even with these
additions, the CMS sensor head is more compact and flexible
than before, with a reduced insertion profile and improved
scan parameters. The new operator interface software
includes an automatic resection routine for geo-referencing
in the field, and real-time video/lidar data streaming to help
the operator verify successful data collection.
