Digital Terrain Models
Understand your terrain with bare earth DEMs (digital elevation models) or DSMs (digital surface models).
Drone LiDAR Services for Australian Businesses
Cost effective aerial LiDAR point clouds for Australian businesses.
Our pilots are trusted by leading organisations.
Industrial Applications of Drone LiDAR
Make measured decisions.
Advances in aerial LiDAR technology have made drone LiDAR a practical substitute for previously costly LiDAR acquisition. Projects that were previously too "niche" to justify the costs are now cost effective.
Profiles
Show the shape of terrain & features by "slicing" point cloud across any surface.
Erosion Mapping
Assessing variations in soil surface to understand erosion patterns.
Vegetation Mapping
Quantitative mapping of vegetation, to assess plant heights & spread.
Topographical Mapping & Contours
Calculate slopes' grades and aspect and contour lines from point cloud elevation data.
Volumetrics
Calculate volumes to assist with project planning or water storage estimations.
Hydrology & Catchment Mapping
Watershed and predictive water flow modeling based on lidar-derived data.
Feature Extraction
Extract buildings, power lines, roads, and other infrastructure features from point cloud data for detailed site analysis.
Point Cloud Classification
Automated classification of point cloud data into categories like ground, vegetation, buildings, and power lines for advanced analysis.
Quality Aerial Insights
Accuracy above everything.
- Real-Time Kinematics
- RTK drastically increases positioning accuracy. Using known survey points or setting our own, RTK enables precise data capture with minimal post-processing needed.
- Post-Processing Kinematics
- PPK ties positioning information to drone data after missions are flown. Ideal for mapping when RTK is not feasible because site is remote or large.
- Ground Control Points
- We use GCPs to tie our drone data to "real" points on the ground. This enables us to verify and ensure accuracy of our missions.
- Efficient Data Capture
- Our small teams are efficient. Our workflows ensure fast mobilisations whilst maintaining high accuracy standards.
Drone LiDAR Attributes
Rich datasets for valuable insights
Our drone LiDAR technology transforms complex sites into actionable 3D models through precise point cloud capture. Each dataset provides comprehensive site information at a fraction of traditional survey costs, making advanced mapping accessible for projects of any size.
RGB Colorized Points
Each point is assigned true color values captured by the onboard high-resolution camera, creating a photorealistic 3D representation of the scanned environment.
RGB Colorized Points
Each point is assigned true color values captured by the onboard high-resolution camera, creating a photorealistic 3D representation of the scanned environment.
GPS Time
Points are colored based on their capture time using GPS week seconds, enabling identification of flight line overlaps and temporal patterns in the data collection process.
Intensity
Displays the strength of the returned laser signal for each point, providing insights into surface reflectivity and material properties. Useful for detecting features like road markings and material boundaries.
Return Number
Indicates which return the point represents from a single laser pulse, crucial for understanding vegetation structure and penetration through canopy layers.
Number of Returns
Shows how many returns were detected from each emitted laser pulse, providing information about the complexity and density of vegetation or structures along the beam path.
Scan Angle
Represents the angle between the laser beam and the vertical axis at the time of measurement, helping identify potential data quality variations and coverage patterns.
Height (Z-Index)
Visualizes the relative elevation of each point above the classified ground surface, essential for measuring object heights and analyzing vertical structure distribution.
