LIDAR Acquisition & mapping

DESIGN, PLAN, BUILD AND MANAGE WITH HIGH-DENSITY LASER DATA
LiDAR Data Acquisition Services
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an advanced remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances to the earth’s surface. Mounted on our drone platforms, LiDAR systems emit thousands of pulses per second and record precise return times to generate detailed 3D point clouds.
Unlike aerial imagery alone, LiDAR can penetrate vegetation and capture ground elevations beneath tree cover. This makes it ideal for terrain modeling, infrastructure planning, and large-area mapping where reliable elevation data is required.
​
Our drone-based LiDAR acquisition services provide:
​
-
High-density 3D point clouds
-
Digital Terrain Models (DTM – bare earth)
-
Digital Surface Models (DSM)
-
Contour generation
-
Classified point cloud data (ground, vegetation, structures)
-
Volumetric calculations and stockpile analysis
Data is collected using RTK/PPK GNSS workflows and processed to deliver accurate, georeferenced outputs suitable for engineering, planning, and GIS applications.
LiDAR APPLICATIONS
​​
Drone LiDAR data acquisition is well suited for:
​
-
Engineering topography support
-
Utility and powerline corridor mapping
-
Forestry and vegetation assessment
-
Aggregate and mining operations
-
Construction progress and grading verification
-
Road, drainage, and infrastructure planning
-
​
LiDAR provides rapid coverage over large sites while reducing field exposure and improving operational efficiency compared to traditional ground-only methods.
​
LiDAR APPLICATIONS
​​
Vegetation Penetration
Laser pulses can reach ground level through canopy, enabling accurate terrain modeling in forested areas.
Speed and Efficiency
Large areas can be captured quickly with minimal disruption.
​
Precision Workflows
Integrated GNSS positioning ensures consistent geospatial accuracy when supported by appropriate control and QA procedures.
​
Flexible Deliverables
Data can be delivered as LAS/LAZ point clouds, DEMs, contours, DWG/DXF surfaces, and georeferenced raster products.
If your project requires detailed elevation data, terrain models, or high-density 3D surface information, drone LiDAR acquisition provides a powerful and efficient solution.
