LiDAR is the go-to survey method for many organizations. If you haven’t used light detection and ranging for your projects before, here’s what you need to know about how to use LiDAR for the best results. What Can LiDAR Data Be Used For? LiDAR data has a wide range of Read more…
Topographic maps are one of the most useful tools for studying the Earth’s surface. They are also invaluable for planning architecture or when accounting for the contours of land during urban planning. Topography has helped shape so many of the things we know and love today. It has helped create Read more…
LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is a popular surveying technology, used by government bodies and private organisations to measure the distance and size of objects or places. LiDAR uses laser sensors to collect this information, which forms large data sets, known as point clouds. This point cloud information is used Read more…
How Are Point Clouds Made? Point clouds make it incredibly easy and convenient for researchers and scientists to remotely measure the size and shape of objects located on the earth’s surface that cannot be accessed easily due to their surroundings. Point clouds enable surveyors to create 3D models of roads, Read more…
What Is Point Cloud Processing and Why Is It Important? LiDAR is a remote sensing method used by government bodies and private organisations to measure the surface of the earth — and that of any object on it. LiDAR technology directs a pulsed laser light at the target object and Read more…
Land surveying helps in calculating the dimensions of any area on the earth’s surface. It’s a scientific process used by experts for the 3D mapping of the angles and distance between points of land and features. The professionals who carry out this procedure are land surveyors. They are well-versed in Read more…
What Are The Different Types Of LiDAR And What Are They Used For? LiDAR technology is at the core of several different industries and innovations. By bouncing light pulses off of objects, buildings, and surfaces, LiDAR systems measure distances and dimensions. This technology is used mostly for surveying. For example, Read more…
