Explore solution →Technology & capability
Aerial Topographic LiDAR
Survey-grade terrain mapping from local drone missions to regional fixed-wing acquisition.
The technical edge
How it works
High-frequency, multi-return laser pulses penetrate dense vegetation to map the true ground surface.
Strategic advantage
Why it changes the decision
Delivers engineering-grade digital terrain models at scales ranging from a focused site to thousands of square kilometers.
System profile
Operational characteristics
- Platform
- Drone and fixed-wing airborne LiDAR systems
- Precision
- Engineering precision / survey grade
- Data density
- High-frequency, high-density point clouds
- Environment
- Densely vegetated, high-sloped, regional, and difficult-to-access terrain
- Certification
- Engineering Precision & Survey Grade
The data gap solved
Where conventional capture stops
Reveals ground topography beneath canopy where conventional aerial imagery records only vegetation.
Client advantage
What the data enables
One acquisition creates an accurate structural foundation for inventory, hydrology, erosion, access, and long-term change analysis.
Structured outputs
Output formats
- Digital terrain model (DTM)
- Colorized point cloud
- Orthomosaic
- 3D terrain model
