Per Lidar USA (www.lidarusa.com) LiDAR is "Light Detection and Ranging used to detect and measure the distance of an object or surface from an optical source. LiDAR differs from photogrammetry in that photogrammetry uses passive light and LiDAR employs and active laser system. LiDAR yields an intensity with the XYZ data to provide a black an white-like image."

Laser scanning is perhaps the most widely accepted means of obtaining highly accurate and comprehensive 3D data of an environment from ground observations. Modern laser scanners can collect 1,000,000 XYZ points per second at millimeter accuracy. Along with position the scanners collect intensity data as well resulting in a near black and white image. Additionally color imagery can be collected simultaneously providing life-like 3D model information viewable from any vantage point. This information is exploited through 3D measurement and modeling processes. The laser scanning is done with Lidar Technology.

To help resolve issues and provide the best possible data and solutions we have reserved partnership with LiDAR USA (www.lidarusa.com) and AEC Survey.  Along with these partnerships comes even more experience and access to unique tools and CAD support.  Want to consider Mobile Scanning?  We can find a solution for you.
