LiDAR Drone Survey
Drone LiDAR Survey Explained
Drone LiDAR surveys represent a cutting-edge technological solution for capturing highly accurate 3D models and point cloud data of various environments. LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, involves emitting laser pulses from the drone to the ground and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to return, thereby creating precise 3D maps.
This technology, integrated into advanced drone platforms, offers unparalleled precision and efficiency for a wide range of applications across industries.
Cutting-edge Technology: At the forefront of technological innovation, our Drone LiDAR surveys utilise a sophisticated setup comprising a state-of-the-art LiDAR module, an exceptionally accurate Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and a 1-inch CMOS camera seamlessly integrated into a 3-axis stabilised gimbal—all mounted on our advanced drone platform. This setup empowers us to capture expansive areas, covering up to 2 square kilometres in a single flight. The aerial perspective allows us to gather data around intricate structures, enabling the delivery of meticulously accurate reconstructed models and real-time true-colour point cloud models.
Data Processing Options: Tailoring our services to your specific requirements, we offer flexibility in data processing. Choose our comprehensive data processing services, where we handle all intricacies for you or opt to receive raw data for processing using your own systems. This adaptability ensures that our Drone LiDAR services cater to a diverse range of needs.
