Case Study: LiDAR TRANSMISSION LINE ACQUISITION UAVs have changed the game for aerial LiDAR acquisition. On this particular project, Flight Evolved partnered with the Kootenai Electric Company and HDR Inc. to gather data of a transmission corridor in the Pacific Northwest. The data was to be used to determine the feasibility of running another line along the corridor. Our data was fully classified and HDR Inc. was able to import it directly into PLS-CADD for interpretation and analysis. Acquisition Prior to going out in the field and flying, we needed to diligently plan acquisition heights and flight speeds to ensure that proper density and accuracy requirements were met throughout the area of interest. Density is naturally a function of speed and scan rate. The faster the flying speed,
