LiDAR and Derived Solutions

The foundation for forestry analysis and carbon farming projects

Aerial LiDAR plays a critical role in modern forestry and carbon farming by capturing detailed information about vegetation structure and ground conditions across large areas. It enables consistent, repeatable measurement that supports both operational planning and long-term environmental outcomes.

Aerometrex delivers high-quality LiDAR and derived datasets, including classified point clouds, elevation & vegetation datasets, tailored to project and reporting requirements.

Using this data, forestry and carbon project teams can:

• Quantify vegetation structure at scale – measure canopy height, density and distribution across large landholdings.
• Support carbon accounting workflows – provide robust spatial inputs for modelling biomass and carbon sequestration.
• Understand terrain and access constraints – inform harvesting, planting and ongoing land management activities.
• Demonstrate change over time – support baseline establishment, monitoring and verification for carbon projects.

Beyond commercial forestry, LiDAR also supports broader land and vegetation strategies, including reforestation, regeneration and urban greening initiatives, where accurate canopy and terrain data underpins effective planning.

Aerial Imagery

Visual insight for land condition, vegetation health and reporting

High-resolution aerial imagery provides essential visual context for forestry, agricultural and carbon farming projects. In addition to standard RGB imagery, Aerometrex supplies near-infrared (4-band) imagery through MetroMap, enabling teams to better assess vegetation condition and patterns across large areas.

This combination of visual and spectral information supports both operational decision-making and long-term land management.

Using this imagery, teams can:

• Assess vegetation condition – near-infrared imagery helps highlight differences in vegetation health, coverage and vigour.
• Support planning and validation – combine visual context with LiDAR insights to inform planting, management and reporting activities.
• Track change over time – compare imagery to understand vegetation growth, disturbance or recovery.
• Improve communication and reporting – clear visuals support engagement with regulators, partners and stakeholders.

Aerometrex supplies aerial imagery through MetroMap, our subscription-based imagery platform, as well as bespoke capture where required. Regular updates make MetroMap particularly valuable for organisations managing long-term forestry, agricultural or carbon projects.

3D Mesh Reality Modelling

Communicating complex landscapes and project outcomes clearly

3D mesh reality models transform spatial data into photo-realistic representations of landscapes, making complex forestry and land management projects easier to understand and communicate.

In forestry, agriculture and carbon initiatives, these models help teams:

• Visualise terrain and vegetation in context – improve understanding across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Communicate project intent and outcomes – support stakeholder engagement and project approvals.
• Demonstrate scale and impact – showcase land management or regeneration initiatives visually.
• Create reusable digital assets – support presentations, reporting and long-term planning.

While LiDAR remains the primary analytical dataset, 3D reality models add significant value by translating data into intuitive, decision-ready visuals.
