LiDAR
Overview
UAV Lidar is used to create highly accurate maps of the earth's surface, providing detailed point cloud data for applications like topography, infrastructure development and forestry. Like terrestrial laser scanning, millions of laser-derived points, in this instance, collected from a flying platform, are used to create precise and detailed three-dimensional datasets. At Glanville Geospatial, we provide a complete LiDAR solution with a range of outputs, including 3D models, textured meshes and elevation models, tailored to your project needs.
Benefits & Applications
- Able to capture precise, highly detailed 3D data for both topographic maps and 3D models
- Up to 5 laser returns per scan allows penetration of dense vegetation to capture the ground level terrain for accurate elevation and terrain models
- Can resolve detail in dangerous and hard to reach places such as powerlines, quarries and forests
- Volumetric calculations for example: timber inventory in woodland
UAV LiDAR is particularly suitable for complex environments where accurate data is hard and/or slow to collect. Key sectors include:
- Surveying and Topographic mapping
- Infrastructure
- Forestry
- Environmental Management
- Archaeology
- Mining & Quarrying
- Monitoring
Service Provision
At Glanville Geospatial, we specialise in cutting-edge UAV LiDAR solutions that deliver high-resolution data for a wide range of applications. Whether you're planning infrastructure, managing assets, or conducting environmental assessments, our drone LiDAR technology provides the accuracy and efficiency you need.
Why Choose Drone LiDAR?
Using advanced drone LiDAR systems, we capture millions of data points from above, enabling rapid and detailed 3D mapping of terrain, structures, and vegetation. This method is not only faster than traditional surveying, it’s also safer and more cost-effective, especially in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.
Moreover, our LiDAR workflows seamlessly integrate with 3D modelling platforms, allowing you to visualise and analyse your project in stunning detail. From raw point clouds to refined textured mesh outputs, we tailor deliverables to suit your specific needs.
From Data to Insight
Once the LiDAR data is captured, our team processes it into actionable formats. This includes:
- 3D mapping for topographic surveys and site planning
- 3D modelling for architectural and engineering design
- Textured mesh generation for immersive visualisation and simulation
Thanks to our expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, we ensure every dataset is ready for integration into your workflows
Whether you're working on a large-scale development or a niche conservation project, our drone LiDAR capabilities adapt to your goals.
