Description

LIDAR SCAN MAP 3D

This product is at the top of the line of current technology, and involves drones and cameras of the highest range, accompanied by base stations for coordinate control.

Why or when use LIDAR ?

Conventional topography requires a line of sight between the Total Station (surveying equipment) and the prism that receives the measurement, its performance is based on taking the greatest number of points from a station, without the surveyor having to move again to have a new view of points inaccessible from the previous station. That is fine and simple for land cleared of vegetation, now imagine that this land is a farm with orange crops, the surveyors will surely have to move every 50ft (10,000sq ft), this movement takes 30min on one acre, that is, must move more than 4 times per acre. Each transfer involves a relative error in the coordinates and this error is cumulative, that is, it increases more and more each time. It also increases the cost of the surveying service, you pay for the time. Remember, the problem is the view, which is not available in cultivated land or forests.

Now imagine the case in which a Developer wants to plan his project, but must wait 6 months or more for environmental permits to be able to clear the vegetation (what areas will they allow me to clean?) and then a couple of months clearing the land, time is money. , I want productivity and working with conventional topography does not allow me to do so.

The RTK base station links to the drone's RTK antennas and does not need visual, they can be miles away. The RTK base station is located on or tethered to a point obtained from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. That is to say, the transfer from the station to the drone lasts just a thousandth of a second, the drone has an exceptional view and flies over the terrain from almost infinite viewing angles (which conventional topography cannot), then you have the performance you need, with greater precision, since the error is not cumulative and is less than 1/2" (Depends on the flight height and the type of information required).

Topography work with Lidar technology does not require a horizontal line of sight, nor does it require setting up fixed equipment, at the speed of a Drone and a Lidar camera (up to 200,000 points per second) you take data with real coordinates in real time, these data are not a simple XYZ coordinate, these points make up a model and have color, that is, the generated 3D surface behaves like a 3D Render, I can take measurements and filter this information in many ways, such as elevation or color. All of this allows me to obtain the ground levels of a forested area, making it feasible in terms of cost and time since the laser penetrates empty spaces between trees, which is impossible in terms of time and cost with conventional topography. A post-process in the office allows you to filter the information and obtain contours months before and without cutting a single tree.

You need a forest inventory, since lidar information allows you to measure tree height, average crown spread, and surely even identify species beforehand by sampling in the field.

If you need runoff lines, contours, CAD, slope maps and other technical information, it can all be processed with LIDAR mapping.

In the end:

• You have more information with a lower cost
• You have greater precision
  
• You reduce planning time, since you do not depend on the cleaning of the lot or environmental permits.
  
• You have control over changes to your land during cultivation or housing development

LIDAR Vs Traditional Surveying

LiDAR scanning employs laser beams to collect data rapidly, capturing thousands of data points per second. This speed is particularly beneficial for large-scale projects requiring timely data acquisition. Traditional surveying methods often involve manual measurements, which can be slower and envolve human errors.

What is RTK ?

Real-time kinematic, also known as RTK, is a surveying technology which measures the relative positions while using two different Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas in real-time with better accuracy. The errors found in GNSS results are decided and fixed using RTK technology.

What is LIDAR ?

LiDAR is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging. It's essentially a remote sensing method that uses rapid light pulses to map out the surface of the earth. It uses the pulse from a laser to collect measurements to create 3D models and maps of objects and environments.
