LiDAR Mapping
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has become widely accepted as a tool for generating highly accurate terrain models that are used in a variety of GIS applications. LiDAR collection systems use a combination of aircraft-mounted laser sensors along with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to record elevations on the earth's surface.
We have managed several LiDAR projects for floodplain mapping and shoreline erosion mapping and have been asked to manage the data for other LiDAR mapping projects. Contact us and we can determine whether LiDAR is suitable for your application.
