LiDAR technology offers one of the most accurate, expedient and cost-effective ways to capture elevation information. Since it relies on an active laser pulse, it can be used day or night. LiDAR sensors can detect multiple returns for each pulse, which properly classified, can be used to distinguish vegetation, power lines, buildings, and the bare earth surface. LiDAR sensors can also record the strength of the returning pulse, and these values can be used to generate a LiDAR intensity image which provides additional visual information about the mapped area.
The Power of Integration
LiDAR can be used as a stand-alone solution, or powerfully complemented by other mapping technologies. AeroMetric seamlessly integrates LiDAR data with other data sets, including orthophotos, multispectral, hyperspectral and panchromatic imagery. We can combine LiDAR with GIS data and other survey information to generate complex geomorphic-structure mapping products, advanced 3D models/earthwork profiles, renderings of structures, and many additional high value mapping products.
