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.
The project came about because an engineering company sought high quality topographical data to reassess how they were going to resume mine operations. This involved tasks such as creating new roads, avoiding collapse-prone areas, and creating protection meshes, etc.
The goal of this project was to generate a 3D model of the Huasco Pellet Plant (mining), in Chile, using the YellowScan Vx15 UAV LiDAR system.

Ensure proper planning and swift decision making
UAV LiDAR systems provide precise elevation data, inventory information, surface/volume calculations, accurate pit models, and contour maps in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
Optimized operations
Get the data you need to manage your day-to-day stock, reserve and site arrangements and reduce your total cost of operations.
Reduce human and environmental risks
Less surveying personnel in open pit mines and more frequent change detection missions keep everyone safer–people and equipment.
Rugged & reliable
Compatible with difficult field conditions such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and dust.
