FAQ

Common Questions About Drone Point Cloud Mapping

Everything you need to know about our managed point cloud service

LiDAR uses laser pulses for direct measurement, providing accurate data in all lighting conditions and vegetation penetration. Photogrammetry derives points from overlapping photos, offering color information and lower cost but requiring good lighting.

Point density varies by method and requirements. LiDAR typically delivers 100-500 points/m² for general mapping, up to 1000+ for detailed work. Photogrammetry can achieve 1000-5000 points/m² for close-range scanning.

Standard formats include LAS/LAZ (industry standard), E57 (neutral format), PTS/PTX (ASCII), PLY, and XYZ. We also provide formats for specific software like RCP/RCS (Autodesk), POD (Bentley), and others.

Yes. LiDAR point clouds can be colorized using simultaneous photography, adding RGB values to each point. This combines LiDAR's accuracy with photographic detail for enhanced visualization.

File sizes depend on point density and area. Typical projects range from 1-10GB for small sites to 50-500GB for large infrastructure. We provide compressed LAZ format reducing file size by 80-90%.

Absolutely. Point clouds integrate directly with major CAD/BIM platforms like AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and MicroStation. We provide data in platform-specific formats for seamless workflow integration.
