An aerial LiDAR, or light detection and ranging, survey is a state-of-the-art approach to surveying. It can be used for both private and public construction surveys and delivers accuracy that is hard to achieve any other way. Here is what…
Keeping up with LiDAR applications is becoming more and more challenging. However, this is excellent news for users, who can take advantage of this technology. Here, we tell you how LiDAR topography could collaborate to generate better seismic hazard maps…
It looks like the future has arrived. A commercial geospatial technology company will set about the task of generating a 3D map of the entire surface of the planet using an extensive network of LiDAR sensors. What does this mean?…
If this is your first time using LiDAR and photogrammetry services, the different technologies and types of services can be difficult to understand and differentiate. Here is a brief explanation to help you better understand when to use each one.…
Trimble Geospatial has introduced a new addition to its established mobile mapping portfolio, the Trimble MX50 mobile mapping system for asset management and mapping. Trimble is a company that provides solutions to facilitate high-quality, productive workflows and information exchange to…
Taiwan is an incredibly mountainous island. The region has dramatic topography, with 268 high mountains and dense subtropical jungles, both of which pose a challenge for airborne LiDAR mapping and surveying. Engineers have been using airborne LiDAR data to analyze…
Assessing the condition of Yosemite’s forests is important to understand things such as how much carbon they store. This can be done by using data gathered with laser-based technology (LiDAR). Climate change affects many green forest areas and it also…
Imaging can be a tricky service to price. A simple photo snapped with your smartphone may have no intrinsic value beyond the memory it holds. At the same time, medical images cost thousands of dollars, and original artwork of the…
Creating an accurate representation of a large industrial site is a complex task. It requires capturing specific details on a large scale without closing the site or causing disruption. On many sites, whole areas are restricted or unsafe to enter,…
LiDAR technology is helping countless industries create a better future for everyone. While terrestrial LiDAR is suitable for many projects, some use cases may benefit from aerial LiDAR technology. The construction industry, for example, is becoming increasingly reliant on drones…
