LiDAR Data Processing

What we deliver

Point Cloud Classification
Point Cloud ClassificationAutomatic and manual classification into ground, vegetation, buildings, wires, water and custom classes.
DEM / DTM / DSM
DEM / DTM / DSMBare-earth and surface models generated from classified ground points at the resolution you need.
[Contours & Breaklines photo]
Contours & BreaklinesSmooth, accurate contours and breaklines for engineering design and planning.
Feature Extraction
Feature ExtractionBuilding footprints, roads, poles, power lines and trees extracted as GIS / CAD layers.
[Corridor Mapping photo]
Corridor MappingPower line, road, rail and pipeline corridors mapped with clearance and encroachment checks.
[Volumes & Profiles photo]
Volumes & ProfilesStockpile and cut / fill volumes, cross-sections and long profiles for earthwork planning.

Our workflow

  1. 01Data checkCoverage, density, noise and control verified.
  2. 02Strip adjustmentCalibration and alignment of flight lines.
  3. 03ClassificationAutomatic classification plus manual editing.
  4. 04ProductsTerrain models, contours and features generated.
  5. 05QC & deliveryAccuracy report and delivery in your formats.

Automation in this service

We turn your ideas into automation — our own tools and scripts handle the repetitive work, so delivery is faster and more consistent.

  • Automatic ground classificationScripted routines classify ground and non-ground points before manual editing.
  • Batch tiling & DEM generationLarge projects tiled and terrain models produced in bulk.
  • Auto contoursContours generated, smoothed and labelled automatically.
  • Automated QCAccuracy checks against control points with a generated report.

Input we work from

LAS / LAZ, E57, PTS, XYZ, trajectory files, ground control points

Output formats

Classified LAS / LAZ, GeoTIFF DEM / DTM / DSM, contours (SHP, DWG, GDB)

Accuracy & QC

Accuracy checked against ground control points with a QC report.

Typical applications
