Combine LiDAR Data with High-Resolution Aerial Imagery

At Aerometrex, we can offer concurrent aerial imagery services that are captured simultaneously with our LiDAR data. This dual-capture approach ensures that you receive a more comprehensive spatial data suite from a single airborne survey. We work with you collaboratively to design surveys that offer optimal imagery alongside high-quality LiDAR data.

Some Key Applications of Imagery combined with LiDAR

Listed below are some scenarios where the addition of aerial imagery can benefit LiDAR data acquisition. However, these applications can be expanded to others based on collaborative conversations with your business.

Mapping Surface Disturbance

Digitise areas of surface disturbance with precision, both top soil and low vegetation, allowing for accurate monitoring and management of changes in the landscape.

Ballarat - 2B

Imagery as Basemap in GIS Systems

Use our high-resolution aerial imagery as a base map in GIS systems, providing a detailed and accurate foundation for various spatial analyses and applications.

3D Visualisation & Informed Feature Extraction

Colourise LiDAR Point Clouds using imagery to add visual context and help extract features that may not be readily identifiable such as building types, road markings, and low / near-ground vegetation.

Melbourne Airport

Land Cover Classification

Use a data fusion approach within machine learning techniques to classify different land cover types, by combining the structural information from LiDAR with the spectral information from imagery to achieve even more accurate model predictions.

Darwin

Route Analysis

Visually identify obstacles and plan optimal routes for improving efficiency and safety. This is especially useful across industries and sectors such as transportation, utilities, etc. and during the planning phases of other large & critical infrastructure projects.

Aerometrex’s Range of Aerial Imagery Solutions

It’s important to distinguish between our concurrent aerial imagery solution with LiDAR and our MetroMap aerial imagery service:

  • Concurrent Aerial Imagery with LiDAR: This service involves capturing high-resolution aerial imagery simultaneously with LiDAR data collection, ensuring perfectly aligned and comprehensive spatial data. The focus of these surveys is generally the best LiDAR capture and survey cost-efficiency with auxiliary simultaneous aerial imagery. As a result, the concurrent aerial imagery may be affected by local weather conditions at the time of capture.
  • MetroMap Aerial Imagery: MetroMap is Aerometrex’s flagship aerial imagery solution offered as a subscription service. It provides extensive, regularly updated aerial imagery coverage for various regions captured using highly specialised sensors. This is ideal for users needing consistent, high quality and up-to-date imagery for their projects. More details on this solution can be found here.
