Why Aerial LiDAR

time icon
Time Efficiency
Aerial LiDAR is able to cover a large area in a short amount of time. With Databird Solutions quick processing you can have your data in days not weeks.
leaf
Vegetation Penetration
Capture topography data even in dense vegetated areas. Aerial LiDAR is able to penetrate tree canopies and brush to accurately model the ground surface beneath.
archery-target
Increased Accuracy
Deliver high-resolution measurements with centimeter-level precision, reducing errors and ensuring confidence in every project.
sound-wave
Verifiable Data
Each dataset includes quality checks and accuracy reports, giving you transparent, defensible results you can rely on.

LiDARfor Surveying

Leveraging LiDAR for surveying offers unparalleled efficiency in data capture in even the most challenging areas.

 True-Position Orthomosaic

  • Perfect nadir view with zero lean or distortion
  • Accurate horizontal measurements of all features
  • Survey-grade positioning for CAD and GIS

3D Perspective View

  • Shows true height and dimension of structures
  • Ideal for visualization and inspection
  • Reveals clearances and spatial relationships
Notice the difference: buildings and terrain that appear tilted in traditional orthomosaics are positioned perfectly vertical in Databird Photogrammetry—because we use the actual 3D LiDAR model to place every pixel.

Aerial LiDAR at Any Scale

01
Step_01
Defining Requirements & Mission Planning
Start by identifying project objectives and deliverables. Assess site conditions, determine sensor settings, and acquire necessary airspace waivers or permits. Careful planning ensures safe flights and accurate data collection.
02
Step_02
Data Capture
Fly the planned mission using LiDAR or photogrammetry sensors. Collect high-resolution imagery and point cloud data with precise overlap, ensuring consistency across the entire project area.
03
Step_03
Processing Data
Raw data is cleaned, calibrated, and processed into usable formats such as orthomosaics, 3D meshes, DSM/DTM elevation models, and point clouds. This step transforms flight data into accurate, georeferenced deliverables.

Step_04
Feature Extraction & Insight
From the processed models, extract key features such as structures, terrain, or vegetation layers. Deliverables are analyzed and translated into actionable insights to support surveying, construction, mining, and environmental decision-making.
