LiDAR
Elevating Your World
LiDAR data is now readily available from Cities Revealed. With a comprehensive and current archive of many metropolitan areas, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Cities Revealed will further expand the archive to meet industry demand.
LiDAR has revolutionised the acquisition of digital elevation data and has quickly become a de facto method of collecting height and surface information for a myriad of applications and analysis. There is no other method that can collect ground and surface height information as quickly, accurately and as cost-effectively. These factors make LiDAR a highly viable option for all applications that require height, volume or 3D visualisation information.
"We choose The GeoInformation Group to provide LiDAR data as they are a regular and trusted supplier of aerial photography data. We have been a client for a number of years and the Airport has developed an excellent working relationship with them." Neil Thompson, Airspace and Airfield Environment Manager, London Luton Airport Operations Ltd.
Features
- LiDAR data collection produces a geographic database with height and surface measurement information.
- Collected by a laser at intervals of between 1m and 2m on the ground, the vertical accuracy of each height point is +/- 15 cm.
- The LiDAR database is referenced to the National Grid system which means that it can be easily integrated with other geographic databases and Ordnance Survey mapping.
- The data collected can be used to produce both Digital Terrain Models (ground surface only) and Digital Elevation Models (the ground and all features on it).
- LiDAR data is supplied in a number of formats and easily integrates with all major GIS and CAD systems.
- Extensive coverage of UK urban areas available.
