Shaded relief of Hobart-area terrain from a single LiDAR survey

Processing

Archive LiDAR

Decades of earlier surveys, from your own archive or any program, corrected onto one frame and turned into a consistent record of how the ground has changed.

Most ground worth knowing has been flown before, often several times, by different programs, sensors and specifications. On its own each survey is a snapshot with its own errors. Brought together properly, they become a record.

We co-register every earlier survey to a common frame, correct the height differences between survey eras, and grade every point. Then we put that record to work: change since the first survey, volumes moved, ground revealed under canopy, and a baseline for every capture that follows.

Deliverables

  • Inventory of every survey over the site: date, sensor, density, licence
  • Co-registered, era-corrected point clouds and terrain
  • Change and volume layers between epochs
  • Lineage report: what each survey contributed

Applications

  • Baselines for approvals and closure
  • Long-term coastal, slope and landform change
  • Due diligence on acquired sites
  • Adding history to a new capture (Fusion Archive)
