Advanced Asset Management and Visualization



  • Produces fully interactive three-dimensional model of scanned environment
  • Measure vertical and horizontal clearances of bridges and overhead objects
  • Identify and extract a wide variety of assets

One of the strongest features of the 3D LIDAR dataset is the ability to perform measurements on both point and linear features. The width and height of a guardrail, for example, can be measured, as well as its exact length, providing a measurement of the material that is out in the field. The LiDAR data is geo-spatially referenced as well, and when shown with GIS data the curvature of linear assets can be visualized, unlike the results of linear-referenced data. The point density of the LiDAR data is higher than what cameras can provide, which translates into better accuracy when taking measurements. Each point has its own unique XYZ coordinate, allowing for both point-to-point measurements and the grouping of points, such as sign faces, into polygons to measure surface areas. The LiDAR data also allows for the area of an entire pavement surface to be measured, along with the pavement type. This measurement can be done for the entire infrastructure network, all in a single pass of the collection vehicle.
