What is LIDAR? LIDAR stands for "Light, Imaging, Detection and Ranging system". It is a three-dimensional laser scan that provides high definition surveying for architectural, as-built, and engineering surveys. Each pixel that is scanned is assigned an x,y,z coordinate that allows for accurate 3D mapping of the object being scanned. Recent technological advances make it the most cost-effective and time-sensitive solution for providing the highest level of detail available for interior and exterior building work. The level of detail captured by high definition survey technology is unparalleled and previously impossible. Infrastructure and complex production systems can also be mapped more easily and more accurately.
Who can use it? The software used to interpret the scanned data are Leica Cyclone, Cloudworx, and Socetset. Once the points are processed, the data can be exported to engineering software (AutoCAD, LDD, Civil 3D) and GIS software (Arc View, Microstation). 3D scanning allows complete CAD drafting, orthorectified photos, and 3D virtual walkthroughs. Why use LIDAR? High definition surveying makes data available to a variety of disciplines, such as planning, engineering, construction, demolition, and environmental classification, faster and more detailed than conventional methods allow. In addition, it offers the advantages of improved worker safety, higher accuracy survey data, and rapid project turnaround. Flatirons, Inc. is one of the first firms within the state of Colorado to have the capability to provide this technology to you. Because of the limited availability of this service, Flatirons, Inc. is willing to travel as requested.
