Live 3D LiDAR Survey Demo

A drone flies a real survey pattern over the landscape below, firing laser pulses that build a classified 3D point cloud — drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and switch to the pure point cloud to see exactly what the sensor captured.

  1. The drone flies parallel survey lines (a "lawnmower" pattern) at constant height above the terrain, exactly as our field crews plan real missions.
  2. Each laser pulse measures the range to whatever it strikes first — bare ground, tree canopy, rooftops or water — and becomes one classified 3D point.
  3. Roughly a third of the pulses slip through gaps in the canopy and still reach the soil, which is why LiDAR maps true ground under forest.
  4. Switch to "Point cloud only": that cloud is the raw survey deliverable from which DTM, DSM, contours and volumes are computed.
