Think 3D and Applanix Combine on Unique Solution for UAV-based Airborne LiDAR Mapping
Think 3D and Applanix Combine on Unique Solution for UAV-based Airborne LiDAR Mapping The Stormbee multicopter integrated with T rimble’s AP15 promises maximum efficiency, accuracy and performance for LiDAR surveys from unmanned vehicles Airborne survey is undergoing a revolution. Historically, LiDAR-based aerial surveys were impractical for all but the very largest unmanned systems due to the: • size-weight and power constraints of unmanned craft • requirement to measure position and orientation with very high degree of accuracy for direct georeferencing of the point cloud T oday, due to Applanix’ development of small, lightweight and low powered direct georeferencing solutions, airborne LiDAR scans from small drones are not only possible, they are practical, cost effective,
