LiDAR

Prioritizing health and safety concerns and striving for safer working conditions remains paramount across all industries.

UAV LiDAR technology presents significant advantages in hazardous environments where human presence is undesirable, and in surveying areas inaccessible by conventional means, such as open-pit mines, landslide zones, or areas containing landmines. By deploying drones to navigate over the targeted areas, there’s no need for direct human involvement, mitigating safety risks. This approach also alleviates the pressure of safeguarding oneself and equipment during precarious situations or rushing through tasks to exit hazardous environments, which could compromise measurement accuracy or data quality.

Obtaining UAV LiDAR data is efficient, precise, and safe, often at a significantly lower cost compared to surveys conducted using manned aircraft.

Although airborne LiDAR is well-suited for extensive mapping projects covering vast territories, UAV LiDAR emerges as a more economical and adaptable solution for smaller areas. It demands less time, fewer personnel, and a smaller system, facilitating the swift generation of high-quality data for your specific area of interest.

Conventional surveys often require days or even weeks to collect data, especially when employing a single terrestrial laser scanner that necessitates frequent relocation to cover extensive areas. This approach lacks scalability, hindering quick project completion and diminishing long-term productivity.

In contrast, utilizing drone LiDAR significantly reduces data gathering time. Surveys can be finalized within hours and processed on the same day, delivering rapid results that facilitate swift decision-making. With expedited data capture and high-resolution outputs, UAV LiDAR emerges as a cost-effective and practical alternative for terrestrial mapping and surveying endeavors.
