Airborne
LiDAR.

Dense point cloud acquisition for millimetric topographic surveys and mapping under vegetation cover.

LiDAR aéroporté.
Overview

Measure the invisible with laser.

Airborne LiDAR uses a high-frequency laser rangefinder to measure the exact distance between the drone and hundreds of thousands of ground points every second.

Result: an ultra-precise 3D point cloud revealing the exact terrain relief, even under vegetation — where photogrammetry is blind. Ideal for corridors, forests, rugged terrain.

What LiDAR reveals.

LiDAR excels where optical methods are limited — under vegetation, in corridors, on linear infrastructure.

HV line corridors

Complete inspection of electrical corridors: conductor/vegetation distance, clearance calculations.

Forest mapping

Ground detection under dense canopy, tree height measurement, canopy density.

Complex topography

Rugged reliefs, inaccessible zones, hydraulic studies, flow modelling.

Archaeology & heritage

Revelation of hidden structures under vegetation, non-invasive surveys of historical sites.

Pipelines & gas pipelines

Easement monitoring, subsidence detection, ground movements, intrusive vegetation.

Quarries & mines

Extracted volume calculation, extraction monitoring, pit face safety monitoring.

Usable data, not raw.

A raw point cloud is useless without expert processing. Our method guarantees directly usable deliverables.

1

Adapted flight plan

Height, speed and overlap calculated according to terrain and target density (up to 1000 pts/m²).

2

Continuous calibration

Dynamic LiDAR calibration in flight, RTK GNSS base, vibration compensation.

3

Automatic classification

Ground, vegetation, buildings, power lines separation via ASPRS classification algorithms.

4

Business deliverables

Export in standard formats, adapted to your GIS/CAD tools. Cleaned DTM, classified cloud.
