Why LiDAR? Learn the pros and cons of aerial LiDAR data for surveying
Surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the physical features of the Earth, such as landforms, buildings, vegetation, and infrastructure. Surveying is essential for many applications, such as planning, design, construction, management, and monitoring of various projects. However, traditional terrestrial-based surveying methods can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and sometimes unsafe. Moreover, traditional surveying methods may […]
Top 3 advantages of 5 return LiDAR
LiDAR is a technology that uses laser pulses to measure the distance and shape of objects. LiDAR can be used for many applications, such as mapping, forestry, archaeology, and autonomous driving. One of the key features of LiDAR is the ability to record multiple returns from a single laser pulse. This means that LiDAR can […]
Quality UAS data in variable terrain
When it comes to collecting accurate data through remote sensing technologies, terrain awareness and ground sampling distance (GSD) are two crucial factors to consider. The terrain of a given area can significantly impact the accuracy and resolution of data collection, making it important to understand its impact on GSD. This is particularly relevant in Colorado, […]
Photogrammetry versus LiDAR, which is better?
Photogrammetry vs LiDAR. Both are popular methods for creating 3D models. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and depending on the use case, one method may be more suitable than the other. Photogrammetry is the process of using photographs to create a 3D model. The process involves taking a series of overlapping photos from […]
Survey technology in drone mapping
Drone mapping has become an essential tool for professionals in industries such as construction, agriculture, and surveying. However, ensuring the accuracy of the resulting maps and models can be a challenge. One way to increase the accuracy is through the use of survey technology in drone mapping, including Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) […]
