Topographical Surveys and Mapping

Topographical surveys are what a LIDAR does. At the scanning rates used by Lasermap Image Plus, ground positions and elevations can be collected as close as 2 feet (0.5m) apart. This provides a very detailed digital terrain model of the ground, generally far more detailed than any other technology can produce economically.

From these data, detailed contours can be produced, or the DTM data can be used in almost any CAD, GIS or terrain modeling software. Operators of gravel pits or open pit mining operations often require an "inventory update". LIDAR provides an ideal speedy methodology for collecting these data for larger properties.
