LiDAR

In many projects, conventional mapping faces limitations, such as slow data collection in large areas, extreme and dangerous terrain, dense vegetation, or the need for highly detailed data in a short period of time. Without the right technology, this process can take a long time and produce less accurate data. In addition, traditional methods require a lot of manpower in the field, which increases safety risks and operational costs. When speed and accuracy are crucial factors in planning and decision-making, these limitations can have a direct impact on overall project efficiency and success. LiDAR is here to solve these challenges. We help generate high-accuracy detailed topographic data, minimize the risk of human error, and accelerate the analysis and decision-making process in construction, infrastructure, forestry and mining projects.

LiDAR works by measuring the travel time of a laser pulse from the sensor to the surface and back again. The sensors are usually mounted on drones, planes or ground vehicles. As it moves over the mapping area, the sensor emits a laser signal that hits various surfaces, such as the ground, trees, buildings, and returns to the receiver. Each reflection is recorded as a single data point with position information (X, Y, Z). These hundreds of thousands to millions of points then form a point cloud that represents the shape of terrain or objects in great detail.
