LiDAR is now the most widely used method of rapid and accurate terrain mapping. LiDAR systems are capable of capturing the height of both the terrain on objects on the terrain such as buildings, in amazing detail.
LiDAR technology uses light sensors to measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground, including objects such as buildings and vegetation.
It is ideal when very high accuracy height measurements are required for large areas and is very cost effective. Off-the-shelf data, up to 10cm accuracy, is available for many areas across the UK including most major urban areas as well as rural and flood plain areas.
Bluesky’s team of experts can give you help and advice on your requirements, and will organise a dedicated survey for you if the data you require is not available off-the-shelf.
