Modern LiDAR scanners can achieve vertical accuracy within 2–5 cm, depending on flying altitude, sensor quality, and GNSS correction. When paired with RTK positioning, drone-based LiDAR delivers survey-grade precision comparable to terrestrial scanning.
Yes. Many professional drones can be fitted with a LiDAR sensor using compatible mounts and power systems. Drone LiDAR systems integrate with GNSS and IMU sensors to ensure accurate point cloud data for mapping, inspection, and topographic surveys.
High-end platforms like the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and DJI Matrice 350 RTK are popular choices for LiDAR payloads. These drones provide strong flight stability, long battery life, and seamless integration with professional LiDAR scanners for surveying and construction applications.
Yes. DJI’s Matrice series supports LiDAR payloads such as the Zenmuse L1 and other third-party sensors. These systems combine LiDAR, IMU, and RGB camera data to produce highly accurate and georeferenced 3D models.
Drone LiDAR can penetrate vegetation, capture accurate elevation data, and produce reliable terrain models even in low-light or overcast conditions. Unlike photogrammetry, it doesn’t rely on visual contrast, making it ideal for forestry, mining, and floodplain mapping.
Drone LiDAR systems vary in price based on range, accuracy, and payload compatibility. Entry-level units start around $15,000–$20,000, while advanced, long-range mapping sensors can exceed $60,000. Our team can help you find a system that fits your technical needs and budget.
