LiDAR = Light Detection and Ranging
Airborne laser scanning – rapid high-density survey of Earth’s surface
Accurate and reliable surveys, faster and with higher density than conventional surveys

How does LiDAR work?Simultaneously
• Measure trajectory of aircraft in three dimensions• Measure orientation of laser scanner
about three rotations axes• Transmit and receive laser pulses,
measure the time-of-flight (i.e. range to reflecting surface)
Consequently• Know the coordinates of 150,000 points
surveyed per second• Map the surface of the Earth in high
density

Executive SummaryAerial laser scanning is rapidly becoming the preferred surveying technique. Its high-resolution and rapid results, which are accurate enough for the most construction and mining applications, make aerial laser scanning (or LiDAR) the surveying technology of choice for a changing environment. Combined with geo-referenced high-resolution imagery, the spatial dataset becomes even more intuitive to decision makers and engineers alike.
