Discover how advanced LiDAR mapping uncovers previously unknown Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza's protected zone.
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.
This mission was started by Instadrone in response to a request from the Departmental Directorate of Territories, which lacked LiDAR equipment and therefore outsourced the entire data capture process to drone companies.
The Association Mission Patrimoine Mondial (AMPM) is an organization created to set up and drive the application strategy.

Equipped with :
YellowScan Explorer
In 2017, YellowScan took part in a research project called FRELON (“French long range lidar”), funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The goal was to develop a new standard for long-range LiDAR by bringing together innovative specialists.
YellowScan collaborated directly with Airbus Defense and Space, UAV manufacturer Delair, M3 Systems and utility end-users EDF, RTE, Enedis and SNCF to develop the next generation solution to meet their requirements.
Advanced calibration
All our systems are calibrated before shipment and come with a calibration certificate. Be ready to fly your system as soon as you receive it!
On-site training
YellowScan delivers complete training to new customers. The training is provided over 2 days and can take place at your premises or online.
Technical support
Our 1 year unlimited technical support from our experts enables you to confidently undertake your projects, whether you are new or experienced in the field.
A one-of-a-kind laser scanner
We developed a unique laser scanner that met specific requirements and that could not be found in any other systems. You can select the right scanner parameter for each of your missions with the possibility to switch the laser PRF.
Front-facing LCD touch screening
This user-friendly display keeps you informed about the system’s status with ease.
Fly high without compromising on data quality
Collecting data from a longer range will allow you to cover more area per flight and enable you to create and maintain digital twins of your assets and project sites. Flight operation speed can go from 5 to 35 m/s with a flying height of up to 300m.
Optimal vegetation penetration
Its detection and processing of up to five target echoes per laser pulse will provide you with optimal vegetation penetration.
Embedded camera
The Explorer now has an embedded camera (global shutter) that can be used for colorization purposes.
Collect LiDAR and RGB data
The Explorer is compatible with an optional 20MP or 60MP single-camera module, or a 35MP dual-camera module.
