Remote sensing technologies such as LiDAR, Multispectral imagery, and Infrared technologies have long been employed and continue to be applied for forest stand characterization, biomass estimation, broad scale bloom detection, land use assessment, agricultural inventories, topography mapping and wetland characterization. These products have historically been high-priced and applied to large scale, heavily funded projects, and consequently underutilized by small businesses working in the environmental and forestry sectors. Such tools would be immensely helpful to SME's for more local compliance reporting and for the investigation and resolution of local environmental issues. Ontario Resource Management Group Inc CEO Bruce Wheaton is committed to the advancement of remote sensing and GIS technologies for affordable use at a local scale. Mr. Wheaton owns 2 light aircraft, advanced on board camera systems, gyroscopes, high precision GPS equipment, and partners with organizations that are trained, or willing to be trained, in the application of such tools. Professors and students from Algonquin College, Ottawa Valley anticipate working with ORMG to apply these same tools for environment monitoring and local environmental issue assessment and resolution, specifically in the areas of: *Quantification and mapping of cyanobacterial algal blooms which are a human health threat *Quantification of aggregate volume removals from aggregate pits using 3D modelling of locally acquired imagery.

激光雷达、多光谱成像和红外技术等遥感技术长期以来一直是 已使用并继续应用于林分特征、生物量估算、大规模开花 探测、土地使用评估、农业清查、地形测绘和湿地特征描述。 这些产品历来价格高昂，适用于大规模、资金雄厚的项目， 因此，在环境和林业部门工作的小企业没有充分利用。此类工具 将极大地帮助中小企业进行更多的本地合规报告和调查， 解决当地环境问题。 安大略资源管理集团公司首席执行官布鲁斯惠顿致力于推进远程 传感和地理信息系统技术，在当地范围内负担得起。惠顿先生拥有两架轻型飞机， 车载摄像系统、陀螺仪、高精度GPS设备，并与 接受过或愿意接受此类工具应用方面的培训。教授和学生从阿尔冈琴 学院，渥太华谷预计与ORMG合作，将这些相同的工具应用于环境监测 以及地方环境问题的评估和解决，特别是在以下领域： * 对威胁人类健康的蓝藻水华进行量化和绘图 * 使用当地采集的3D模型，对集料坑中的集料量进行量化。 意象
