OUR TEAM AND CULTURE

Spexi Geospatial Inc., the company behind Spexigon, got its start in 2017.  We began by building a SaaS platform to enable organizations to collect drone imagery using their own drones and pilots.

Now with Spexigon, our mission is to democratize access to high resolution Earth imagery.

By enabling drone pilots to easily contribute imagery from wherever they are, it is our hope that we can power better and more informed decision making by organizations world wide.

BUILD WITH SPEXIGON

Are you a developer with existing apps that could use our imagery? Want to build something new on Spexigon?
Let’s talk

Faq

What is the Data Used For?

Some example use cases include:

  • Insurance underwriting
  • Construction project management
  • Residential real estate imagery
  • Infrastructure and building inspections
  • Wildfire prevention (forestry imaging + computer vision and A.I)
  • Natural resource management
  • Building inspections
  • City management and planning

And the list goes on… At the end of the day, the high resolution imagery pilots collect with drones will be used by data buyers to make better decisions about real world physical assets. With better, more frequently refreshed data, people and organizations will be able to save time and money and reduce their impact on the environment (less need to drive to a job site for example if you can simply view the site online and inspect it remotely.)

When can I start flying?

In Q3 of 2023 pilots will be able to begin flying in parts of Canada. We'll be working to open up additional areas around the world as soon as we can from there.

Do I need any training?

All pilots are responsible for ensuring they follow their local rules and regulations regarding drone pilot certificates, insurance, etc.  Many jurisdictions around the world do not require drone pilot certificates/licenses for drones which weigh under 250g, however some do.

Other more localized rules and bylaws exist that pilots should familiarize themselves with before commencing flights in their regions.

All pilots who choose to fly on Spexigon will have the opportunity to undertake free training online which highlights best practices for safe flight, efficient data collection, and Spexigon platform functionality.

What drone’s are compatible?

Spexigon will initially be standardizing on the sub-250g class of drone, specifically the DJI Mini 2 to start. In time, additional drone models will be approved to work on the platform.

How much can I earn?

When the Spexigon app launches, pilots will be able to earn points for collecting & uploading imagery to the platform. In time, points will be capable of being used on the platform for a variety of purposes.

Spexigon is also currently considering adopting a rewards based model where pilots might earn tokens that would be redeemable or used as consideration for goods and services offered on the Spexigon platform in the future, and it is possible that such tokens (when and if issued) may have a value on the open market. If and when the company adopts a token rewards model and the market establishes a price for the token, the current intention is that pilots will  be able to use the app to see open Spexigons (hexagonal zones on a map) in your area that are ready to be flown & their value in terms of token rewards.

If the token rewards model is adopted by the company, it is currently intended that your reward earning potential will depend on the time you have to fly Spexigons, the number of open Spexigons in your area, and how often the platform needs those Spexigons to be flown.

What is a Spexigon and How do They Work?

Spexigons are hexagonal zones that overlay a map of the earth inside the Spexigon app in order to show where imagery needs to be collected.

Each Spexigon contains flight plan information that the drones use (combined with the Spexigon mobile app) to ensure they are flying at the correct height, speed, and location to capture the best imagery possible.

The Spexigon system serves as a method of standardization.  The most challenging aspect of working with high-resolution drone imagery is the capture process.  By standardizing this process, ensuring it is the same everywhere on Earth, and combining it with a crypto-economic incentive model, Spexigon will capture imagery in a similar fashion to how satellites capture imagery from space.

What does Spexigon do with the imagery contributors collect?

Spexigon will sell access to the imagery collected to organizations in industries where decisions need to be made about real world assets & infrastructure.

How do  you ensure people’s privacy is protected?

Spexigon imagery is captured at resolutions which prevent personally identifiable information from being detected.

Spexigon will also adhere to regional privacy standards in regards to treatment of Earth observation imagery.

How do you ensure data is collected safely?

Spexigon regards safety as a top priority.  There are three main areas where deliberate design decisions have been made to facilitate safe operations:

  1. Airspace;
  2. Regulations;
  3. Training.

Bill Lakeland,
CEO

With 20+ years working in aerial data acquisition, processing and delivery with multiple successful exits, Bill is the ideal person to lead Spexi into this exciting new chapter.  Spexi system users, customers, and investors can rest assured that aerial data produced under Bill's watch will be of the highest quality and value.
