LiDAR

Precise Terrain Analysis

High-density Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a proven approach to creating fast and accurate terrain models for applications in many industries. The technology uses a scanning laser combined with GPS and inertial technology to create a three-dimensional set of points (point cloud).

LiDAR data is commonly used for or to create Digital Elevation Models (DEM), Digital Terrain Models (DTM), contours of varying intervals, slope maps, planimetric mapping, tree height analysis, ortho-rectification, preliminary design, and earth movement calculations.

Who Uses LiDAR Data?

LiDAR's ability to generate precise 3D models of the Earth's surface makes it an amazing tool for diverse applications.

Professionals and industry rely on LiDAR data to make informed decisions, improve planning, and optimize resource management. Here's a glimpse into how this data can be leveraged:

Engineering and Construction
  • Civil engineers, surveyors, and construction companies utilize LiDAR data to create precise terrain models for preliminary design, earthwork calculations, and infrastructure planning. 
  • This detailed information helps optimize project design, minimize costly errors, and ensure accurate construction.
Environmental Management
  • Government agencies, environmental consultants, and conservation organizations use LiDAR data to monitor and analyze geohazards, erosion patterns, flood zones, and vegetation changes. 
  • This data supports informed land management decisions, facilitates environmental impact assessments, and aids in developing effective conservation strategies.
