A variety of mission profiles
Multi-scope mobile (ground) and UAV (airborne) mapping systems
The system can be deployed rapidly on road vehicles as well as on all types of UAV (multicopter, traditional, and VTOL fixed-wing).
This flexibility allows you to expand your range of applications (e.g. vertical elements or no-fly zones), which will increase your return on investment and thereby decrease the system’s payback period.

Discover our solutions by reading about our users’ experience in the field.
Read how our customer used a YellowScan LiDAR system to transform urban tree management in Belgium, offering fast, accurate data collection compared to traditional methods.
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.
