It’s one of the most common questions we get at DroneWorks. Here’s a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of what influences pricing, why it varies, and how to get the best value for your project..
1.2 million laser pulses per second, low noise, accurate lidar
Averagepoint density in open ground
100 ha / 250 acres surveyed in a single day
This is a common misunderstanding. They are two differeing methods of collecting data, one use lasers one uses high resolution images, they both have their benefits in differeing situations.
Photogrammetry is actually more accurate, but does not deal with vegetation well.
We will advise on the best approach for your site & requirements.
We also include photogrammetry with our lidar surveys!
The DJI L2 is a popular choice due to its cheaper price point but it is an enry level LiDAR unit.
We use a more advanced scanner, Rock Robotic R3 Pro, that produces clean, noise free and accurate data.
We also use advanced software to enable strip alignment, georeferencing and GC checks.
LiDAR uses lasers which find their way through tiny gaps in vegetation, rather than seeing through it. Some of those lasers will find their way to the ground, enabling measurements beneath trees and vegetation.
This depends on the equipment, height and speed of the flight plan and density of vegetation.
However, LiDAR surveys are usually accurate to 5cm in x,y and z.
We verify this using surveyed points on the ground.
This is the important part, the deliverables are derived from the lidar point cloud. Terrain models, TIN Surface and full CAD topo's are all possible.
We will extract data into deliverables that you require, in a format that you can work work.
Sure, contact us for an example. Besure to let us know the use case. Eg Foresty, Planning, Land topo etc
