Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about lidar drone surveying & mapping for mining & aggregates

When should I use LiDAR over photogrammetry?

Use LiDAR when you need bare-earth terrain under vegetation, or consistent accuracy regardless of surface texture.

How dense is the point cloud?

We capture 200-400 points per square meter, allowing detailed feature extraction.

Can you classify vegetation layers?

Yes, we provide multi-layer vegetation classification per ASPRS standards.
