Seeing the city differently — literally. Already known for its street-level mapping precision, Jakarto now adds a new layer to its digital twin: aerial data, including LiDAR and high-resolution imagery.
This integration brings a complete view of the territory — from the street to the rooftops — revealing areas that were previously out of reach.
By combining mobile mapping with aerial data, Jakarto delivers a true 360° perspective of the built and natural environment.
Users can now explore backyards, swimming pools, private structures, and utility networks — all within a single unified platform.
Until now, Jakarto's strength lay in capturing public space with engineering-grade precision.
With its mobile mapping units combining LiDAR and 360° imagery, the platform produced accurate digital twins of everything visible from the street: street furniture, overhead lines, trees, catch basins, sidewalks, intersections — all captured without disrupting traffic.
Now, with the addition of aerial data, this expertise extends to non visible zones from the street: rooftops, backyards, garages, sheds, pools.
This opens the door to the automated extraction of new asset types, enriching Jakarto’s inventories and enabling a much deeper understanding of the territory.
At Jakarto, flexibility is at the core of what we do. To meet every need — from ultra-high resolution to wide-area coverage — we team up with the best in the business.
Through our network of partners specializing in data acquisition by drones and aircraft, as well as suppliers of existing aerial imagery, we deliver scalable data solutions tailored to the ambitions of each project.
Need up-to-date, centimeter-precision data for focused analysis? Planning a large-scale regional project? We've got you covered.
We work with trusted sources like the CMM's open airborne LiDAR data, Nearmap’s high-resolution aerial imagery — used in projects across Mascouche and Toronto — as well as local partners for aerial data capture by drone or aircraft.
Aerial data isn’t just for viewing — it’s also analyzed using Jakarto’s AI-powered algorithms.
This enables the automated detection of features like building footprints, swimming pools, impervious surfaces, and vegetation — quickly and at scale.
Combined with street-level data, this AI-driven processing allows users to cross-check, validate, or enrich detected assets, creating smarter, more complete inventories.
Adding aerial data unlocks new opportunities for municipalities, engineering firms, and infrastructure operators. Here are just a few applications:
🧾 Compliance & taxation: automatic detection of undeclared pools and buildings
🏙️ Urban planning: complete visibility of developed and undeveloped land
🛠️ Remote inspection: visual access to rooftops and hard-to-reach infrastructure
🌲 Environmental monitoring: canopy and ground imperviousness analysis
🌳 Urban forestry: identification of individual trees in residential backyard or park.
📌 Enhanced inventories: detection of new assets only visible from above
🗓️ Work planning: smarter coordination through a more complete view
All of this data — whether captured from the street or the sky — is integrated into a single, unified environment: the Jakarto platform.
Users can switch viewpoints, toggle layers, overlay vector data, and interact with the territory from every angle.
Our platform is also compatible with multiple mobile mapping sensors, including Leica, Trimble, RIEGL, and others — making it easy to integrate external data, whether collected by your team or by Jakarto.
It’s the combination of perspectives that makes our platform so powerful: precision from the ground, reach from the sky.
With aerial data now part of the platform, Jakarto takes your understanding of the territory to the next level.
No more blind spots. More insight. More impact.
