This article compares two popular technologies for creating 3D models and maps: photogrammetry and LiDAR. The focus lies on key differences between both: how they work, the different outputs created for each, and popular use cases. The article finishes with a discussion of why investing in LiDAR can be a better choice, despite higher costs.
This article explains what LiDAR point clouds are and how they are used for 3D mapping applications. Learn the basics of LiDAR point clouds!
LiDAR scanners are used for capturing 3D point clouds. But how do they work? This and more are explained in the article below, which covers the operating principle of different LiDAR scanners and explains how distance measurements are transformed and combined into 3D point clouds. These provide the basis for many 3D mapping products used for different industry applications.
A LiDAR drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors. A LiDAR is an active sensor that uses inertial measurement to correlate where it is on the earth’s surface, resulting in a direct measurement of the earth.
Carbonix, a leading manufacturer of commercial UAVs in Australia, became involved in a significant project when approached by an Australian power network seeking solutions for scanning their transmission and distribution lines in challenging, undulating terrain. They reached out to Carbonix to see if they had a system and sensor combination that could effectively meet their brief.
How does laser scanning work underwater? How can a laser penetrate water? Discover this innovative technique for marine surveys and research.
Discover how a customer created the digital twin of a telecommunications tower in order to perform line of sight and radio frequency simulation analysis.
Our client, CIMA+, a renowned multidisciplinary company based in Canada, specializes in engineering, project management, and consulting services across various sectors. They were commissioned to conduct surveys of electrical powerlines.
The stated objective was to produce LiDAR data that would ensure safety in the power line corridor by detecting dangerous vegetation.
Eltel, a Nordic field service provider for power and communication networks, conducted in 2019 a pilot study with Loiste a Finland-based energy company.
Discover how Juniper reduced post-processing time to 3 days using YellwScan solution while it takes up to 42 days with a traditional survey.
Powerline Monitoring Using LiDAR
Vegetation encroachment
The only technology that gives the true distance to the vegetation in near real-time. Scan fast-growing vegetation sections as often as needed.
Optimized maintenance operations
Ideal for surveying limited sections of the network which has not/can’t be scanned with airborne LiDAR (leftovers, hard-to-access, fast-growing vegetation sections…)
Low mobilization and demobilization
Easy to deploy and cost-effective tools for mapping areas of interest.
Security
YellowScan systems allow for quick & complete acquisition while eliminating manned airborne or on-the-ground logistics
