LiDAR Data Colored by Elevation

We’re operational and have a ton of data in the can and ready for processing.  Our data sets include samples from residential communities to transmission powerlines to unmentionable clients who have some interesting needs!  One of the biggest hurdles has been developing our own viewing software that we can deliver with these large datasets so that our clients can manage their deliverables.  The goal is to build a piece of software that is lightweight and easy to maintain code-wise, while building tools that clients can use to streamline their business processes.

Pavement Camera Update

We’re finishing up on the City of Charlotte’s pilot pavement data collection project.  To date, we have collected Mobile LiDAR, Mobile Video, Ground-Penetrating Radar, Roughness and Rutting data for a 50-mile pilot area.  This was the first go-around for our pavement camera and the results were great.

What’s cool about this is that we can now get a great view of the lane of travel and see the low density cracking because we’re basically collecting 2mm pixels.  We’re working on learning how to orthorectify these images so they can be fused with the point cloud to give a real-world representation of the pavement surface that can be viewed in 3d.
