THE AIRBORNE SENSING CORPORATION, is one of Canada's oldest aerial survey companies, operating from Toronto since 1981. We have been involved in a variety of aerial photographic and LiDAR survey and image processing projects throughout North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Since our inception, we have conducted aerial urban mapping, watershed studies, forest inventory surveys, wildlife studies, water quality surveys, colour infrared environmental studies, mining exploration, engineering surveys and bathymetric surveys. AIRBORNE SENSING'S internationally experienced and multi-lingual aircrew, and our multi-purpose aircraft equipped with precise GNSS/IMU, are prepared to respond, sometimes within hours, to any flying mission. From our base of operations in Toronto we have performed survey missions with both our Turbo Aztecs across North America, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Since 2006 we operate dual-port Piper Navajo aircraft suitable for long range multi sensor operations; in 2011 we added a Gulfstream Turbo Commander 840 for large area high altitude surveys and Piper Aztec aircraft for missions requiring slow flight. Most recently, we were part of a team that supplied BING® with oblique and vertical aerial images of the major population clusters of North America. Between 2013 and 2015, ASC flew over 70 cities and took over 700,000 images from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Gulf of Mexico to the major Canadian cities. Prior to that, we photographed 1/3 of the Republic of Ecuador over a two-year period. AIRBORNE SENSING has invested considerable sums in applied research resulting in: the creation of Ontario's first colour aerial photofinishing facility; one of the first applications of Global Positioning Systems and Inertial Measurement Systems technology in aerial photogrammetry (both for flight management as well as aerial triangulation); Canada’s first helicopter-based Very Large Scale Photogrammetry capability; Ontario’s first photogrammetric scan facility (Airborne Scans Inc.) and Ontario’s first large format digital camera system, the VEXCEL ULTRACAM D followed by the ULTRACAM X, and another two ULTRACAM Xs; the execution of airborne LiDAR projects; a simultaneous test of Vexcel photography and LiDAR in our dual-port aircraft; as well as products which have consistently met and exceeded Municipal, Provincial and Federal Government standards. Our outputs enable our clients to directly start compilation without them having to execute ground control or aerial triangulation. We also have one of the highest completion percentages of any contractor, finishing projects in tough areas or to tight timelines. ![]() The Underhill Group of Companies has its origin in the partnership of two Land Surveyors—F.
