Lidar

Light Detection and Ranging Systems

Lidar or light detection and ranging is a remote optical sensing technology and is an important geospatial data acquisition technique, which Survey Graphics utilizes to determine topography and surface information. Survey Graphics uses lidar as a part of their quality services to suit specific client requirements.

Lidar Applications

Lidar uses laser pulses to generate large amounts of data about the physical layout of terrain and landscape features. Lidar data can be analysed and used in a range of applications including:

• Land mapping for use in forestry and land management
• Digital terrain maps for use in geographic information systems
• Digital Mapping for use in analysing building structures and architecture

How Does Lidar Work?

There are several varieties of Lidar, all of which operate using the same basic principle: the instrument fires rapid pulses of light at the target and a sensor mounted in the survey aircraft measures the amount of time taken for each light pulse to bounce back. Survey Graphics utilise Lidar along with other techniques to provide accurate and detailed aerial surveying solutions to all clients.
