Ottawa Renovations: Before & After
We recently decided to move back East close to where we grew up. But to do that meant we would need to sell our house in Ottawa and buy another one in Nova Scotia. The housing market here in Ottawa has been pretty strong for many years and was still pretty hot when we listed our house despite various slow downs in the real estate markets all across the country.
So we decided to do some basic cosmetic renovations to the house to increase the value of the property and make it easier to sell before we listed. After several weeks of renovations and investing about $10k we were able to sell the house only 4 days. I have included some photos of our place before and after I renovated it to show the big difference.
So check out some of our handy dandy work in this photo gallery.
LIDAR
LIDAR has become a major portion of my geomatics career, thus I have dedicated an entire section of my site to help provide a brief understanding of LIDAR technology while demonstrating some of the highlights of my graduate work and other LIDAR projects that I have been involved with.

Geomatics – Cartography
Cartography or Map Design is the practice of creating maps or visual representations of a surface, as you would see it from above it. Traditionally maps have always been created using pen and paper, but since the introduction and wide spread use of geographic information systems (GIS) and computers, cartography practices have evolved more into the digital world. Most maps today are now generated using map software that falls into one of three main types; GIS, CAD, and specialized map graphic design software.
Geologic Application of RadarSat S2 Mode Data in Northern Nova Scotia
Poster created for a paper and presentation on a project used RADARSAT S2 beam mode SAR imagery and ERDAS Imagine . The project used RADARSAT S2 beam mode SAR imagery and ERDAS Imagine together to provide 3D models representing various geological terrain features.
Geologic Application of RadarSat S2 Mode Data
RADARSAT images can provide geologists with an exceptional and correlative data source with respect to geological contacts, structures, and lineaments. This project is an attempt to provide some distinct examples of various geological structures in Nova Scotia that can easily be detected using RADARSAT imagery. Since Nova Scotia is a well-mapped and explored area, geological and geophysical data is easily accessible to accompany the radar data. RADARSAT imagery is especially …
Seamless Aerial Photograph Mosaic
Sample of an seamless 1:10000 scale color aerial photograph mosaic of Halifax, Nova Scotia that I generated using PCI OrthoEngine software to seamlessly combine seven individual ortho photos into 1 image.
Aerial Photograph
Aerial photography is the method of taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position. The term usually refers to images in which the camera is not supported by a ground-based structure. Cameras may be hand held or mounted, and photographs may be taken …
