Light Detection and Ranging is no longer a scientific technique exclusively for specialists. In fact, LiDAR technology has become an essential tool for many industries. It’s transforming urban planning processes and has become a leading technology through innovative projects such as self-driving cars. With LiDAR technology on the rise, now Read more…
Point cloud data is gathered during laser scanning surveys. These datasets consist of millions of XYZ coordinates collected from surfaces of surveyed areas such as roadways/railways, landscapes, cityscapes, and buildings. Point clouds are difficult to interpret in their raw format, but when processed with an effective point cloud processing software, Read more…
Remote sensing technology, such as LiDAR, is used to acquire information about an object without making physical contact. It’s used by surveyors and researchers to analyze both natural and manmade landscapes. But just like all technology, remote sensing comes with both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of Remote Sensing Remote sensing Read more…
When remote sensing is used to survey an object, building, or landscape, the sensor collects point cloud data, which can be processed post-scan. But if you want to make the most of the data collected, it’s worth considering using point cloud software to process the data. Here’s what you need Read more…
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…
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…
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…
