Understanding LiDAR

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method used to detect objects in real space with a high level of precision and accuracy.

In the UAV LiDAR process, a drone flies over a specified area sending out laser pulses onto a surface at a rate of 100k-3 million pulses per second. After measuring the time it takes for the signal to return, LiDAR Data is electronically compiled with GPS data and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data to create a digital representation of the scanned area in a point file format used by professional surveyors to create a great number of deliverables for their clients.

What Our Clients Say

Applications for LiDAR

Professionals use LiDAR across different fields for a variety of applications, such as:

 
A point cloud collected in one pass of a LiDAR drone. This image shows all the surroundings/environment above ground before filtering into a ground layer.
A digital elevation model rendered from a collected point cloud then uploaded into a GIS system. The model helps in planning for many different project types, including farming, land management, civil engineering and construction.

Uses for LiDAR

LiDAR-equipped drones can reach ground surfaces through small openings in the canopy of foliage and plant life, capturing data difficult to collect by traditional methods – especially useful for industries such as agriculture, forestry, surveying, and land management/development.

LiDAR-equipped drones can fly at low altitudes and reach ground surfaces through heavy vegetation, enabling a precise collection of locational data. This is especially valuable for archaeology, forestry, land development, and energy and utilities.

With the ability to obtain highly-detailed elevation data, LiDAR helps licensed professionals with terrain mapping when planning utilities or construction projects. It can help those professionals in ongoing ROW (Right of Way) encroachment monitoring by exposing tree canopies hanging over transmission lines, allowing asset managers to quickly pinpoint and address critical service needs.

LiDAR data can be used by licensed professionals to create high-precision 3D models that deliver robust information not possible by traditional means, such as finding the low points on farmland for irrigation planning. Useful for many industries, including land management, agriculture, civil engineering, and construction.

LIDAR technology captures critical data that helps licensed professionals protect and restore vulnerable coastlines. Through consistent flights over an area, ongoing patterns of erosion, coastline shifts, and other changes can be detected over time and managed accordingly.

LiDAR drone technology can be used to collect data that will enable licensed professionals to measure the volume contained within an area. Helpful for mining, aggregate stockpile measurement, dredging, landfills, industrial sites, or other locations where volume measurement is vital.

Working with FlyGuys

Our LiDAR Sensors

Our LiDAR equipped drones can scan between 400 and 700 acres per day, per team. We currently offer data collection through two types of sensors.

DJI Zenmuse L2.

The DJI Zenmuse L2 is FlyGuys’ staple LiDAR payload, offering unmatched precision and efficiency for 3D reality data capture. This advanced system integrates a high-accuracy LiDAR sensor, IMU, and 4/3 CMOS RGB camera, delivering vertical accuracy of 4 cm and horizontal accuracy of 5 cm. Capable of covering up to 2.5 square kilometers per flight, it excels in dense vegetation and diverse terrains with a detection range of up to 450 meters and multi-return capability. Ideal for applications like land surveying, forestry, and infrastructure management, the Zenmuse L2 ensures reliable, high-quality data collection when paired with DJI’s Matrice 350 RTK.

Phoenix LiDAR RECON-XT.

The Phoenix LiDAR RECON-XT is a lightweight, versatile LiDAR system. Compatible with UAVs like the DJI Matrice 300/350 and adaptable for vehicle or backpack use, it delivers 2–5 cm accuracy at an 80-meter range. The RECON-XT is well-suited for general mapping, construction site surveying, utility mapping, agriculture and forestry monitoring, stockpile volumetrics, and open-pit mining operations. By integrating the RECON-XT into our suite of LiDAR solutions, FlyGuys offers clients a cost-effective, adaptable, and precise tool for comprehensive reality data capture.

Our Nationwide Pilot Network

We have a nationwide network of licensed, insured pilots available to help capture all types of data including LiDAR, each with a valid FAA Part 107 certification.
