Revolutionising Surveying with LiDAR Drones

LiDAR’s versatility extends to industries like forestry, agriculture, geology, archaeology, and urban planning, offering insights essential for land management, flood mapping, and resource management.

What is LiDAR? Understanding the Technology

Illuminating the Landscape with Precision and Detail

LiDAR, an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging, is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionised the way we capture and interpret the physical world. At its core, LiDAR involves emitting swift near-infrared laser pulses and measuring the time taken for these pulses to bounce back after hitting the ground or objects. This innovative approach allows us to create highly accurate 3D models or maps, often referred to as point clouds.

How does LiDAR work?

Our drones, equipped with LiDAR sensors, fly over the survey area, emitting thousands of laser pulses per second. These pulses penetrate vegetation, reach the ground, and reflect back to the sensor. The data collected is then processed to calculate distances, creating a detailed 3D representation of the surveyed landscape.

This technology excels in a variety of applications, from mapping dense forest canopies to detailed urban infrastructure modelling. Its ability to deliver high-resolution LiDAR data makes it invaluable for projects requiring precise elevation and terrain models.

Our LiDAR Drone Survey Process

A Step-by-Step Approach to Precision Surveying

At Angell Surveys, our LiDAR drone survey process is meticulously structured to ensure accuracy, safety, and client satisfaction. Here’s an insight into our methodical approach:

Initial Consultation and Planning: Every survey begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand client needs. We then plan the mission, considering factors like terrain, required resolution, and specific client objectives.
Site Assessment and Preparation: Prior to the survey, our team conducts a detailed assessment of the survey area. This includes evaluating environmental conditions, airspace regulations, and any potential obstacles to ensure a smooth operation.
Flight Execution with Precision: Our skilled drone pilots then execute the survey, manoeuvring the drones to cover the designated area thoroughly. The LiDAR sensors collect data with high accuracy, creating a dense point cloud that captures the nuances of the terrain.
Data Processing and Analysis: Post-flight, the collected data undergoes rigorous processing. Our experts use advanced software to analyse the data, transforming it into meaningful information like digital elevation models, 3D terrain maps, and other client-specific deliverables.

Delivery of Results and Follow-up: The final step involves delivering the processed data to the client, accompanied by detailed reports and analyses. We also offer follow-up consultations to discuss the findings and assist with any further project planning.
