LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is the gold standard for capturing high-resolution 3D data across complex surfaces and large sites. Drone Inspect NYC offers airborne LiDAR services that deliver centimeter-level accuracy—ideal for structural mapping, elevation modeling, and digital terrain generation in dense urban or irregular environments.
Unlike photogrammetry, LiDAR penetrates vegetation and varying light conditions to generate consistent, survey-grade results—empowering engineers, planners, and architects to work with confidence.

Benefits of Drone-Based LiDar
Survey-Grade Accuracy Capture dense point clouds with millions of georeferenced points, delivering accuracy down to 2–5 cm.
Penetrates Tree Canopies & Obstructions Unlike cameras, LiDAR can “see” through foliage and shaded areas, ensuring ground-level mapping even in obstructed zones.
Topographic & Structural Versatility Use for roofline modeling, façade elevation, slope analysis, and land grading.
Compatible with Engineering Workflows Easily export into AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, or BIM platforms.
