Laser Scanning

Laser scanning makes it possible to geometrically map the earth’s surface with an unmatched accuracy of less than 15 cm vertically and 30 cm horizontally. Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) are created through the transmission of laser pulses and the analysis of echo signals with respect to duration and intensity. Laser scanning serves a wide range of purposes, for example:
Flood scenarios
Avalanche, landslide and rockslide simulations
Planning criteria for infrastructure projects
Dam measurement
Automated compilation of orthophotos and aerial images
Power line maintenance
and many more...

We specialize in:
Corridor flights
Difficult mountainous terrain flights
Measurement with a high point density
Full waveform analysis

Our services include:

Precise flight planning
Flight planning according to the characteristics of the flight and the terrain (based on a digital terrain model)
The use of one or two laser scanners, depending on the project requirements (i.e. point density)

High-frequency data acquisition
Acquisition of data in a high-frequency data rate through the laser scanner(s) and position and attitude systems (GPS and IMU)

Post Processing
Highly precise GPS and IMU data processing for position and attitude determination of the sensor system
Analysis and processing of laser measurements and determination of the 3D scatter plot
Comprehensive geodetic data quality control and transfer into the desired (local or regional) coordinate system.

Through cooperation with industry experts and their partner network, Diamond Airborne Sensing guarantees a competent and reliable execution of laser scanning missions.
