Unlock advanced geospatial intelligence with our remote sensing UAV LiDAR drone services. Combining advanced technology with exacting precision, we harness Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology to generate comprehensive point cloud datasets essential for modeling, planning, and design. Point clouds are extensive collections of individual spatial measurements, which, when aggregated and colorized, form detailed 3D models that accurately represent real-world surfaces and structures.
Our state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are equipped with a Klau Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) GNSS receiver and a factory-calibrated camera. This sophisticated setup reduces or eliminates the need for numerous ground control points, significantly cutting down fieldwork time while maintaining high accuracy. Compared to traditional UAV surveying approaches, this system delivers both efficiency and cost savings without compromising quality.
A core part of our data acquisition strategy is photogrammetry, which involves capturing overlapping, high-resolution aerial images. These images are processed to create precise 3D point clouds, enabling rapid coverage of large areas with fine detail, perfect for topographic mapping, infrastructure assessment, and surface analysis.
For sites with dense vegetation or complex terrain, we utilize UAV-mounted LiDAR technology. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) captures hundreds of thousands of laser points per second, penetrating canopy to reveal the true ground surface below. Our ROCK R3 Pro LiDAR system offers a dual-return capability with a collection rate of 640,000 points per second and a vertical accuracy of 0.5 centimeters. Integrated with a 26-megapixel camera, this system captures synchronized LiDAR and photographic data, providing rich spatial and visual context in a single flight.
Beyond land, we also specialize in underwater surveying through sonar-based bathymetric mapping. This technique gathers water depth and bottom elevation data simultaneously, making it possible to analyze near-shore, riverine, and shallow water environments with precision. These surveys support engineering design, environmental monitoring, and resource management.
In addition, terrestrial 3D scanning allows us to accurately document the shape and dimensions of existing man-made structures. Using laser scanning technology, we create highly detailed models of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure, essential for as-built verification, condition assessments, and renovation projects.
By integrating UAV photogrammetry, LiDAR, sonar bathymetry, and terrestrial laser scanning, we deliver comprehensive, accurate geospatial data tailored to your project’s unique demands, streamlining design, improving analysis, and enhancing decision-making.
