CAPABILITIES

DISASTER RESPONSE

High-resolution Geiger-mode LiDAR can map critical areas and provide dense point clouds that can be used to produce downstream products for rescue and relief efforts. These products can assess and analyze damage to infrastructure (e.g. bridges and government buildings), map evacuation routes, and locate displaced population centers for supplying medical and food supplies.

Wide-area mapping data collected from a single flight can be used to create a variety of products that will support multiple customers across government agencies or local communities.

FED/CIVIL PRODUCTS

Data collected from a single flight can be produced at multiple resolutions and processed into a number of downstream products for multiple stakeholders. This wide area mapping data can be used for engineering and scientific applications in support of government agencies and local communities including terrain and topographic mapping, hydro-flattened/enforced DEMs for flood modeling, urban planning, infrastructure modeling, environmental monitoring, and more.

Raw Calibrated Point Clouds

The base level product consists of an unclassified (non-attributed) point cloud which is calibrated to meet a specified accuracy. From this stage the point cloud can be processed into numerous downstream products.

 

Classified Point Cloud

The base classified point cloud has only terrain (ground) points classified, and can be used for terrain surface modeling, volumetric, topographic, geology, environmental, and other applications.

 

Expanded Classified Point Cloud

The base classified point cloud has only terrain (ground) points classified and can be used for terrain surface modeling, volumetric, topographic, geology, environmental, and other applications.

 

Intensity Raster DSM

The intensity or “reflectance” raster image as it is referred to from a Geiger-Mode sensor, can be processed at various resolutions up to the native resolution of the LiDAR point cloud. This resolution can be specified per customer request and is used for planimetric mapping, feature extraction, and other remote sensing applications.

 

Bare Earth DEM

A bare earth DEM is a raster or elevation grid product developed from the bare earth point cloud. Typically this is a lightweight file and is a popular format for use in many CAD and GIS application programs. It uses include terrain surface modeling, volumetric, topographic, geology, environmental, and other applications.

 

Hydro Flattened Bare Earth DEM

A hydro-flattened bare earth DEM is a raster or elevation grid product developed from the bare earth point cloud which includes incorporation of breaklines to flatten water body (lake and pond) elevations and create monotonic behavior in rivers.
