LiDAR

Outline's mobile Gtech™ LX-series laser system brings flexibility and industry-leading precision and quality to the market.

Overview

LiDAR point data acquisition is well suited to areas with dense vegetation and steep terrain. Rather than taking a picture, LiDAR scanners emit a laser pulse and measure the time taken for the reflected pulse to return to the scanner. This measurement is used to calculate the distance between the laser source and the object.

Traditional LiDAR systems are unwieldy and expensive. With Outline's flexible and mobile Gtech™ laser system and its tightly integrated GPS-IMU, high-resolution, accurate elevation products can be supplied at a competitive cost. LiDAR data can optionally be served with co-registered image data as a colourised point cloud and more.

The laser penetrates the vegetation canopy, providing a detailed and accurate representation of the ground surface and of the vegetation and other features above it. Height values are then classified into above-ground and ground features. This detailed elevation data can be used for applications such as engineering works, vegetation mapping, drainage and detailed corridor mapping.
