Diverse surveying needs for aerial 3D mapping
that only lightweight UAV LiDAR solutions can meet.
Mapping to help with leveling, planning and infrastructure optimizations or clean up after natural disaster
Our aerial approach can cover a zone faster and deliver more consistent results than ground mapping techniques.
LiDAR technology has proven its efficiency in providing precise aerial surveying. With laser sensors that can be mounted on UAVs and other light aircrafts, we can now generate 3D mapping data.
The technical applications are diverse and steadily increasing. Use cases for fields such as environmental, forestry, mining, civil engineering, archeology and corridor mapping are multiplying and we are only scratching the surface of what these solutions can do.
However, most LiDAR systems are heavy (20 to 100 kg) and can only be operated from a utility plane or helicopter. Due to high operational costs, these kinds of sensors are not cost-effective for small area surveying.
Our LiDAR solutions are less cumbersome and easier to use than other LiDAR technology such as photogrammetry based systems and even works in low-contrast or shadowy situations. Our aerial approach can cover a zone faster with a more homogeneous result than traditional ground mapping techniques using terrestrial or mobile technologies.
The YellowScan image-processing suite can quickly convert raw data into georeferenced point cloud resources and our technical support enables you to get operational. It complements photogrammetry well and/or aerial LiDAR which are recommended for larger projects. For centimetric projects, standard terrestrial survey is recommended.
Our LiDAR systems for drone are ideally suited for :
- Small areas (<10 sq. km or 100 km linear)
- Penetrating vegetation
- Hard-to-access zones
- Data needed in near real-time / frequently / regularly
- 2.5 to 10 cm accuracy range
