Problem
Traditional LiDAR data capture and processing workflows often require specialized hardware, extensive post-processing, and significant time investment, hindering rapid data analysis and efficient field operations. Existing solutions may lack the portability and real-time processing capabilities needed for on-site insights.
Solution
Aerial Precision provides LiDAR sensors designed for commercial drones and mobile vehicles, enabling high-accuracy 3D mapping with survey-grade point clouds. Their sensors are designed to be lightweight and easily integrated with popular drone platforms. Paired with their iPad and Mac application, users can process LiDAR data in the field within minutes, significantly reducing the time required for data analysis and enhancing operational efficiency. The application allows users to work with billions of points, define coordinate reference systems, align to ground control points (GCPs), and export to LAS or LAZ formats.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surveying and mapping professionals, infrastructure inspectors, and drone service providers who require high-accuracy 3D mapping capabilities with rapid data processing for aerial and mobile applications.
