LiDAR Drone Payloads and System for Survey – Camera Included

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) drones have a wide range of applications across various industries due to their ability to accurately capture 3D data and provide detailed information about the surrounding environment. Some of the common applications for LiDAR drones include Surveying and Mapping, Forestry Management, Environmental Monitoring, Mining and Quarrying, Construction and Civil Engineering, Infrastructure Inspection, Flood Modelling and Management, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, and Wildlife Conservation, etc. 

The versatility and precision of LiDAR technology makes it a valuable tool in a wide range of industries, enabling more efficient data collection, analysis and decision-making.

Entry-Level LiDAR drone payloads

The entry level LiDAR payloads are suitable for applications that don’t require high accuracy, such as powerline inspection, forestry survey or volumetric measurement etc. They may be equipped with same LiDAR sensors with medium range LiDAR, however, they have INS with less accurate. Due to this reason, they are quite cost-effective and do their do in specific industries.

Medium-Range LiDAR Drone Payloads

With high performance INS, surveyors' choice, made in USA by Inertial Labs

Medium range drone LiDARs may be slightly more expensive than entry level, however, they are equipped with high performance INS which can deliver point cloud with higher accuracy.

INS (Inertial Navigation System) is critical for a drone LiDAR scanner system, because it provides the necessary positional accuracy, data registration and reliability, especially in challenging environments. It ensures that the LiDAR data collected is accurate, coherent and geo-referenced, making it a critical component for various applications such as surveying, mapping and infrastructure inspection.
