Effigis wins a major pole inspection project for Hydro-Québec
By obtaining this project, Effigis consolidates its position as the major pole inspection service supplier in Quebec and one of the main ones in Canada.
Precision Agriculture: Moving to “Customized” Nitrogen Fertilization in Order to Maximize Economic and Environmental Gains
By wanting to avoid performance loss due to nitrogen deficiencies, current practices favour overfertilization, which leads to unnecessary costs as well as serious environmental problems.
Earthquake in Taiwan: Ground Displacement of More Than 10 cm
Using radar interferometry, a technique used to target displacements to the nearest centimetre, Effigis’ Earth Observation Team tried to determine whether the impact of the earthquake could be measured.
Volcanic Eruption in the Galapagos Islands: Observed 28-Centimetre Soil Displacement
On May 23, 2015, the highest volcano in the Galapagos Islands, Wolf Volcano, erupted for the first time in 33 years. Using satellite imagery and radar interferometry, our team tried to determine whether the soil had moved specifically due to this eruption.
Can centimeter precision be achieved with affordable L1 receivers?
Most GNSS modules out there, designed for recreational use in everyday consumer devices, are GNSS-L1 modules. However, they do not necessarily offer the characteristics needed to establish the precise position of an object on the territory with an accuracy of just a few centimetres.
Can Geospatial Solutions Help Assess the Risks of a Mining Project?
There are many risks inherent to each steps of a mine lifecycle, and they are all quite different from one another. How can we better manage and especially evaluate these risks?
State of the GNSS - Part 1: GPS Modernization
Since the beginning of the new millennium, GPS professionals have impatiently been waiting for all new GPS signals to be fully deployed. What about the current state of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems?
Effigis Participates in the Planning and Deploying of Bell's Gigabit Fibe Network in Toronto
Effigis is proud to take part, as a service provider, in the infrastructure surveys and inspections of poles in Bell Gigabit Fibe’s overhead network in anticipation of Bell’s Gigabit Fibe’s network in Toronto (Ontario, Canada).
Obtaining Millimetre Precision Using Satellite Sensors: Science or Fiction?
It’s true that it does not easily spring to mind that the images captured by Earth observation satellites, nowadays with submetric spatial resolution at best, can produce displacement measurements with a precision measured in centimetres or millimetres, as the experts claim. But what exactly does this involve?
