A traditional survey measures selected points on the ground using a total station, GNSS receiver or level, and records them as plans and contours. A LiDAR survey fires millions of laser pulses and captures the whole surface as a dense 3D point cloud. Traditional methods suit small, simple plots. LiDAR suits large, uneven, forested or […]
What is LiDAR Survey? Process, Equipment & Uses
A LiDAR survey (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that fires millions of laser pulses at the ground and structures, measures how long each pulse takes to return, and builds an accurate 3D point cloud of the surface. At Surveying India, our LiDAR survey services turn that data into terrain models, contour […]
