WELCOME

IMAGING EARTH is our expertise. We do this by capturing aerial imagery using high-resolution digital camera technology and generating from these raw images Orthophoto maps and 3D buildings and cityscapes. You can visit our map library by going to the MapWarehouse.

When our staff works on rendering raw images into final products, they come across visuals they like. We post the best of these to this page, a new one every month. So click on Image of the Month to download and save the latest selection to your desktop, compliments of First Base Solutions.

Our parent company is J. D. Barnes Limited, one of Canada's premier surveying and geographic information systems companies. J.D. Barnes has been in business since 1960. You can learn more about them by visiting their home page. Just click on the link above.
