&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Unlocking the Power of Georeferenced Data in 3D Models</h3>&nbsp;In the realm of 3D modeling, the true value lies in the georeferenced data. Geo-referencing ties a digital map to a known coordinate system, enabling users to pinpoint the physical location of every spot on the map. Without these coordinates, the ability to reference specific points when juxtaposed with other data becomes an insurmountable challenge.&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Powerline_post_2edf08ee55.png" alt="Powerline post.png">&nbsp;&nbsp;When an entire project team shares a common pool of georeferenced points on their digital worksite map or model, a harmonious alignment is achieved. This shared location data empowers informed decision-making throughout the project.The foundation of georeferenced layers rests upon point clouds, and in this discussion, we will delve into the essence of a point cloud and explore how drone data seamlessly integrates with it to construct a comprehensive 3D worksite model.&nbsp;<h3>Understanding Point Clouds</h3><h2>&nbsp;</h2>A point cloud represents a collection of data points, ranging from thousands to millions, within a 3D coordinate framework. Each data point denotes a specific position in space, and the density of these points directly correlates with the accuracy of the representation. Typically, survey-grade point clouds maintain a distance of 2–3mm between any two points and are generated using technologies like lidar or photogrammetry.&nbsp;Of the two primary methods for creating point clouds, lidar scanning and photogrammetry, the latter offers a more cost-effective approach. Photogrammetry entails hardware and software that are considerably more budget-friendly than their lidar counterparts. Furthermore, photogrammetry yields point clouds with sufficient accuracy for 99% of sitework and mining applications, requiring minimal training for proficient drone data capture.&nbsp;<h3>Point Clouds in the Worksite Context</h3><h2>&nbsp;</h2>Point clouds offer the ability to make observations and measurements regarding a worksite's depth, elevation, and location. They serve as the foundational data source for overlaying aerial imagery derived from drone surveys. With a set of data points aligned with a coordinate reference system, you can meticulously document site conditions at critical junctures in the project timeline, tracking material movement and project progress.&nbsp;Project teams may opt to use raw point cloud data when desiring an unfiltered view of terrain data or when sharing the entire 3D site condition with external stakeholders. Additionally, working with point cloud data proves more manageable than dealing with voluminous 3D surfaces in CAD/GIS programs due to more reasonable file sizes, as full-resolution 3D surfaces tend to be substantial.&nbsp;<h3>The Fusion of Drone Survey Data and Point Clouds into 3D Models</h3><h2>&nbsp;</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Buttons_036eceef50.png" alt="Buttons.png"></figure>&nbsp;While point clouds serve as the raw output, the ultimate output materializes as an interactive 3D model embellished with real-world imagery. This composite creation melds an orthophoto (an amalgamation of multiple overlapped and stitched images) with a digital terrain model (DTM). During a drone survey, distinct features captured in multiple images are identified. Leveraging the camera sensor's location, the precise measurement of each feature's position within an image becomes feasible.&nbsp;To establish coordinates for distinct points extracted from drone imagery, each point must appear in two images with known positions. As each known point characterizes a specific feature, an abundance of these points equates to a point cloud that closely mirrors real-world topography, offering an invaluable resource for comprehensive 3D modeling.&nbsp;The decisions are upto you to build a digital infrastructure with industry experts - that have both knowledge of geospatial and software development!

Empowering 3D Worksite Models with Point Cloud and Drone Data

&nbsp;&nbsp; Ellipsoids: A (Slightly) More Precise Representation of Earth's Surface Geoids: Unveiling the Less Appealing Reality of Our Planet Maintaining Data Consistency through the Application of Vertical Datums&nbsp;In any worksite survey where vertical measurements are crucial, achieving precise local elevation calculations is imperative.&nbsp;While it might be apparent for quarries and mining sites dealing with metrics like pit depths and shelf slopes, the significance remains equally high for landfills, where staying informed about cell volumes and remaining airspace is crucial for future planning.&nbsp;Even in civil construction with smaller vertical measurements like cut/fill remainders and stockpile heights, having the most accurate local elevation data is essential for achieving precision. This not only ensures accuracy but also promotes smarter and more cost-efficient work.&nbsp;To provide insight into how Spacesium utilizes coordinate reference systems and the knowledge of geodesy to deliver highly accurate vertical measurements, we aim to demystify two often perplexing concepts: ellipsoids and geoids.&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20231128_210915_2c924e3522.png" alt="image-20231128-210915.png">&nbsp;<h2>Ellipsoids: a More Accurate Earth Model</h2>Let's clear up a common misconception about our planet: it's not perfectly spherical. (And for the record, it's definitely not flat either.)&nbsp;In reality, the Earth's shape is more like an ellipsoid or a spheroid. Unlike perfect spheres, ellipsoids are round and smooth but not symmetrical in all directions. Because the Earth's equator is about 42 miles (67 kilometers) longer than its meridians, it's not a perfect sphere.&nbsp;Scientists have created various ellipsoidal models of the Earth over time, with the WGS84 being the most well-known. This model serves as the basis for the coordinate reference system used in GPS data, defining points on Earth through degrees of latitude and longitude.&nbsp;Ellipsoidal models are especially useful for measuring distances across the Earth's surface when the difference between miles and kilometers matters, such as plotting flight paths or tracking continental drift over long periods.&nbsp;<h2>Geoids: The Earth's Bumpy Reality</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2>Adding more complexity, the Earth's surface isn't smooth like those idealized ellipsoidal models. Due to variations in density, gravity pulls or pushes the Earth's surface in different places, making our planet look more like a lumpy potato than an egg.&nbsp;Models that represent this lumpy potato are called geoids. The surface of a geoid indicates a Mean Sea Level (MSL), essentially what the ocean's surface would look like without factors like tides and winds. The only influence on the MSL's shape is the Earth's gravity field.&nbsp;Unlike ellipsoidal models, geoid models are more locally based. For example, surveyors in the United States currently use the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), which is set to be replaced in 2022 by a newer GPS-derived model.&nbsp;How We Keep Your Data Consistent with Vertical Datums&nbsp;Vertical datums, like ellipsoid and geoid models, are crucial reference points for surveyors, helping determine elevations (both positive and negative). There are two types: tidal and geodetic datums. We'll focus on geodetic datums, as tidal datums relate to the ocean-land interface and are less relevant for most surveyors.&nbsp;In surveying, even small measurements matter, so it's vital to stick to the same geodetic datums throughout a project. Switching models midway can lead to data discrepancies. If you have different coordinate reference systems and datums in your data sets, like a topographical survey and a design file, you'll need to transform one to match the other for accurate alignment.&nbsp;Propeller offers a user-friendly coordinates converter for this purpose, aiding in establishing local grids specific to a site.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/932;" src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20231128_210943_5a9d399d6a.png" alt="image-20231128-210943.png" width="1600" height="932"></figure>When converting elevation data, consider three types of height:&nbsp;Ellipsoid height (h): The difference between the ellipsoid and a point on the Earth's surface. GPS data references the ellipsoid and needs transformation to match the more accurate geoid.&nbsp;Geoid height (N): The offset value between the reference geoid and ellipsoid models.&nbsp;Orthometric height (H): The distance between a point on Earth's surface and the geoid, representing Mean Sea Level. This is the height you care about when elevation data is described as "X feet above (or below) sea level."&nbsp;To ensure consistent orthometric heights across your site, Spacesium uses your chosen datums and a simple formula: H = h – N. It's that straightforward! At Spacesium, we take pride in providing the most accurate drone survey data possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. We have a complete guide to transform your heights! <a href="mailto:info@spacesium.com">info@spacesium.com</a>

Geoid versus Ellipsoid: The Basic Rundown!

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Enhancing Efficiency: The Game-Changing Impact of Drone Surveying in Construction</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:967/525;" src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20231130_031628_4d5d2c8358.png" alt="Drone Surveying Demonstration" width="967" height="525"></figure>&nbsp;Embarking on manual surveys for construction sites is no easy task, demanding time, a specialized workforce, financial resources, and the willingness to redo the survey if errors occur. Traditional methods allow for the surveying of approximately half a hectare per hour. In stark contrast, drone surveying revolutionizes this process, empowering even novice surveyors to cover 50 hectares per hour, marking a 60x improvement in surveying efficiency.&nbsp;Consider a scenario where a company aims to survey 10 different 50 hectares sites five times a year. Traditional surveying for each site would necessitate 24 hours of work, accumulating 120 hours per site annually, resulting in a staggering 1,200 hours of work across all sites each year. The comparison with drone surveying is striking, as it completes each of the five annual site surveys in just one hour each, requiring only five hours per site. Across all ten sites, this amounts to a mere 50 total hours invested to complete these surveys.&nbsp;Beyond the significant time savings, drone surveying offers a crucial advantage in managing construction sites where work is distributed across multiple areas. Traditional surveys, often spanning multiple work days, risk overlooking changes that may have occurred during the survey. This uncertainty can lead to the need for re-surveying, causing potential delays in commencing new work.&nbsp;In the dynamic construction industry, where deviations from plans are commonplace, the inefficiencies of traditional surveying can compound, resulting in further challenges. Drone surveying not only streamlines the survey process but also introduces heightened accuracy and adaptability. These advantages ensure that construction companies can successfully deliver projects on time and within budget, even in the face of unexpected delays and complications.<h2> Cost Savings: A Paradigm Shift in Construction Surveying</h2>&nbsp;Traditional site surveying demands a significant investment in time and manpower, leading to substantial expenses in salaries, equipment, and associated construction costs. To illustrate the potential savings, let's consider the hourly rates—assuming a traditional surveyor charges $100/hour and a drone surveyor $120/hour.&nbsp;Even with the higher hourly rate, a drone surveyor, requiring only 50 total hours of billable work per calendar year, incurs an annual surveying fee of $6,000. In stark contrast, a traditional surveyor, necessitating 1,200 hours of work, results in a total surveying cost of $2,400 per survey and a staggering $120,000 in total annual surveying fees.&nbsp;In essence, drone surveying has the potential to save $114,000 in surveying fees for a smaller company conducting 50 surveys annually. This estimate assumes smooth surveying operations without the need for rework. For larger companies, the savings are expected to be even more significant. Despite various assumptions in project calculations, a comprehensive analysis of drone surveying versus traditional methods underscores its remarkable effectiveness in minimizing time and reducing variable expenses for construction companies.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1161/653;" src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Drones_in_Construction_1_285bc0b2b2.png" alt="Drone Survey in a city" width="1161" height="653"></figure> &nbsp;<h2>Precision Through Drone Photogrammetry: Elevating Data Accuracy in Construction</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2>Drone surveying employs a technique known as drone photogrammetry, involving the measurement of real-life distances from overlapping photos, capturing various angles and perspectives. While the process might seem complex, drones execute it swiftly, achieving a level of accuracy challenging for traditional surveying methods to match.&nbsp;In a single surveying flight, drone data, processed using surveying software like Spacesium, can generate a comprehensive map of the surveyed site. This map includes precise measurements of distances, surfaces, elevations, volumes, and GPS points represented in either two or three dimensions.&nbsp;The efficiency and accuracy of drone surveying enable frequent data analysis through cloud-based platforms like Spacesium. This accessibility ensures that project stakeholders, from subcontractors to off-site teams, can easily access data in a comprehensible format, facilitating timely progress and adherence to design specifications.&nbsp;Timely and accurate drone surveying mitigates issues like rework, conflict resolution, and the search for elusive project data, which collectively cost construction companies a staggering $177 billion annually. Implementing Spacesium’s drone surveying program assures correct and swift processing of surveying data, fostering accountability, communication, and collaboration. This results in the highest level of performance, contributing to projects being completed on time and within budget.&nbsp;The decisions are upto you to build a digital infrastructure with industry experts - that have both knowledge of geospatial and software development!

With MATLAB​,​ Spacesium developed a deep learning solution that can label lidar point clouds with better accuracy and ​increased ​speed.&nbsp;<h2>Overcoming Challenges in Integrating GIS, AI, and LiDAR for Enhanced Spatial Intelligence</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2>A key component of the digital transformation of GIS data is the rapid integration and interrogation of large datasets, LiDAR, and visual information to support rapid decision making. &nbsp;For example, Smart city automation relies on accurate knowledge of street infrastructure, such as the location and condition of utility poles and power lines, while forestry managers require canopy and trunk estimation and digital terrain mapping to enhance their operations. Yet, despite the promise significant challenges remain, including the need for rapid but accurate processing of spatial point clouds and the integration of visual and multispectral data with LiDAR to provide information beyond a simple (x,y,z) location.Traditional feature-based methods for processing point cloud data can be slow and imprecise. In some cases, such as on mine sites, feature-based algorithms may misinterpret ground profiles as buildings due to the planar shapes of spoil heaps, leading to inaccuracies. &nbsp;In contrast, at Spacesium, we are using cutting edge Deep Artificial Intelligence algorithms, such as R-CNN, Deeplab v3 and PointNet++, in conjunction with semi-supervised retraining, to rapidly segment and classify point clouds utilising cloud scale resources.&nbsp;<h2>Optimizing Fusion of Visual and Multispectral Data for Enhanced Spatial Analytics and Autonomous Navigation</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2>The integration of visual and multispectral data presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. While it allows for more than just the specification of the position of an XYZ point cloud, using both location and visual data can enable the determination of viable routes for autonomous vehicles. &nbsp;On the challenge side, it is computationally expensive computing fusing these data sets that are captured in separate imaging systems. &nbsp;At Spacesium, we have implemented custom algorithms based on tools from the Image Processing Toolbox and the Computer Vision Toolbox to efficiently correct, compute and fuse these data sets.&nbsp;Read about how <a href="https://au.mathworks.com/company/user_stories/spacesium-creates-deep-learning-system-to-segment-large-lidar-point-clouds-with-matlab.html">[Spacesium created a deep learning system to segment large LiDAR point clouds with MATLAB]</a>.

In addition to height and canopy coverage, they can also capture information on leaf density, crown shape, and even species identification. This wealth of information allows for a more complete understanding of the state and health of trees in any given area. Furthermore, utilizing geospatial data toolkits for tree monitoring provides a cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods. With advances in technology and automation processes, the cost involved in obtaining high-quality satellite imagery or using drones has significantly decreased over the years. This makes it accessible to a wider range of organizations and individuals who may not have had access to such resources before.&nbsp;Another key benefit of these toolkits is their versatility. They can be used in various environments including urban areas, forests, or agricultural lands without any significant modifications needed. This flexibility makes them an invaluable resource not just for urban tree monitoring but also for other ecological applications. There is a growing need for faster tree monitoring methods due to the increasing importance placed on preserving our natural environment.

Over the past few years, advancements in construction technology has given us innovating solutions to help streamline and automate processes… Software has been the key driver in gaining traction in the utilization of CAD DXF with geospatial drone data.&nbsp; <img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Spacesium_DXF_1_4b8b00bd6a.png" alt="Spacesium_DXF1.png"> &nbsp;You know already in previous articles, and it is not new. Drones have revolutionized the way we capture data in various industries, and construction and mining are no exception. The ability to fly at any time and capture high-res imagery is a game changer and drones are an indispensable tool for monitoring worksites, surveys and tracking progress. Furthermore, the real power is not the ability to capture data, but it is how we process and utilize the data.&nbsp; Simple as it sounds, but BIM (Building Information Management) and CAD (Computer Aided Drawing) drawings are the truth in any project. They are a drawing file format called DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) that is shared over different software applications. By combining the drone captured data with DXF (or any other string data) construction pros can create highly accurate 3D models and images of their worksites. This integration allows for better decision making processes throughout the lifecycle of the project.&nbsp; So now we have the geek stuff out of the way. How exactly does the DXF-enhanced drone data really help worksite progress?&nbsp; <img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Spacesium_DXF_2_8579843539.png" alt="Spacesium_DXF2.png">&nbsp;Improved Planning and Design: Before breaking ground, having a comprehensive understanding of the worksite is essential. DXF-enhanced drone data provides precise topographical information, allowing engineers and designers to create more accurate plans and designs. By incorporating real-time data into the planning phase, potential obstacles and challenges can be identified early, leading to more efficient workflows and fewer costly revisions down the line.Enhanced Monitoring and Progress Tracking: During construction, keeping track of progress is crucial for staying on schedule and within budget. Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras can capture detailed images of the worksite from various angles. When combined with DXF data, these images can be transformed into 3D models that accurately reflect the current state of the project. This real-time visualization enables project managers to monitor progress, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions to keep the project moving forward.Efficient Resource Allocation: With DXF-enhanced drone data, construction teams can optimize resource allocation by accurately estimating material requirements and equipment usage. By analyzing 3D models generated from drone imagery and DXF data, project managers can identify areas of over or underutilization, allowing for more efficient deployment of resources. This optimization not only saves time and money but also minimizes waste and environmental impact.&nbsp;Below&nbsp;Dataset - Processed LiDAR point cloud (.las and .laz)Location - Newman, Western AustraliaSensor - Velodyne VLP-16&nbsp;Hardware - DJI Matrice 350 RTK Enterprise Drone&nbsp;More details - <a href="https://velodynelidar.com/products/puck/">https://velodynelidar.com/products/puck/</a>Output - ESRI ArcMap shape files (.shp), CAD files (.dwg), Excel Export of metrics (.csv) and Report Map (.pdf or georeferenced pdf)&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Spacesium_DXF_3_603949b051.png" alt="Spacesium_DXF3.png">Enhanced Safety and Risk Mitigation: Safety is paramount in the construction industry, and DXF-enhanced drone data can help mitigate risks by providing valuable insights into worksite conditions.

Spacesium Announces Partnership with Apex Japan

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Project Description&nbsp;As the evolution of drones and sensors advances, further development in data processing capabilities is left behind. With that in mind, Spacesium’s partnership with Australian drone operator&nbsp; MineLiDAR. has been utilizing the full potential of their current lidar technology. Spacesiums tree segmentation algorithms were crucial for&nbsp; MineLiDAR/EnviroCapture, in particular endeavors focused on carbon farming projects spanning across Australia. In 2023, EnviroCapture engaged in a long relationship to capture lidar scans in the Australian outback with the ultimate goal of developing a streamlined workflow to “capture → process → deliver at scale.”&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20240314_034526_5f8c891154.png" alt="image-20240314-034526.png">&nbsp;&nbsp;Data Acquisition from the Air&nbsp;Drone lidar flights were carried out on small blocks for optimal efficiency.&nbsp; Each launch consists of a 30-minute flight mission. The state of Western Australia and the Northern Territory covers multiple flight areas across, spanning over 500 flight missions with more than 460GB of processed data - that is a lot of km’s on 4wd tracks with even more take-offs and landings.The flight plan took a continuous grid-like pattern with parallel flight lines. All scans were taken with the relevant survey ground control points over the entire area.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20240314_034615_d5be9654ce.png" alt="image-20240314-034615.png">&nbsp;Achieved Results&nbsp;Requests for deeper insights from LiDAR and photogrammetry data capture led to this partnership between MineLiDAR and Spacesium. Tree segmentation improved the ability to analyze and report tree canopy areas, segmenting trees according to specific requirements and being able to report parameters of individual trees based on specification in particular.Time is always an essential requirement for any client. The quick turnaround showed that projects can depend on Spacesium to get quick results to meet or exceed delivery. From initially processing tree segmentation, both Spacesium and MineLiDAR worked hand in hand to use their ground and vegetation as part of a more comprehensive workflow.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20240314_035340_8ce7ddbcb8.png" alt="image-20240314-035340.png">&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20240314_035351_33e3d4a478.png" alt="image-20240314-035351.png">&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20240314_035355_a9d30a6c1b.png" alt="image-20240314-035355.png">&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/image_20240314_035400_876ced38b5.png" alt="image-20240314-035400.png">&nbsp;It is evident that in order to identify tree segments accurately within the point clouds, both teams of Envirocapture/MineLiDAR and Spacesium combined fine-tuned specific parameters in the algorithms to align with the sensor and land conditions. Customizing these settings resulted in the primary advantage of facilitating the true automation of batching the work through software algorithms.&nbsp;Advancement of automation and software&nbsp;“We’ll continue to work with Spacesium on expanding our existing workflow as well as other data processing tools,” says Peter Evans, CEO of MineLiDAR. The ever-improving quality of data is an impressive result of a constantly evolving hardware advancements and data-capturing methods. Harnessing the data landscape requires a sophisticated approach in the forestry and tree projects realm. The organization is empowered to adapt to the changing needs and complexities of forestry management by constructing not only an agile, but a customizable software. This adaptability ensures that providing the highest quality solutions is the top-most priority for forestry and carbon initiatives.Furthermore, automation of data processing within this framework signifies a transformative element. It creates a scalable processing engine that is capable of handling quantities of data while maintaining strict quality standards. Consistency and reliability across a spectrum of endeavors are eminent with this combination of automation and scalability, aside from streamlining the project workflows.As a conclusion, the cornerstone of the commitment to excellence in forestry and tree projects of MineLiDAR has been represented by the ingenuity of agile and customizable software together with Spacesium.

<h2>How LiDAR Drone Surveying Works: A easier guide</h2> LiDAR drone surveying has changed the way we gather data about landscapes and structures, it is offering a powerful alternative to traditional survey methods. At Spacesium, we believe LiDAR drone scanning will be the forefront of surveying allowing delivering accurate, detailed geospatial data efficiently and safely. We have been developing software solutions for the surveying industry for over a decade and here’s everything you need to know about how LiDAR drone surveying can benefit you.&nbsp;&nbsp;Images courtesy of <a href="https://prismatech.com.au/ ">Prisma Technologies</a><img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Prism_Technologies_DJI_Lidar2_13cac8cbec.jpg" alt="PrismTechnologies_DJILidar2.jpg"><h3>What is LiDAR?</h3>LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distances to a target. This laser light is aimed at a target area, and by analysing the reflected light, LiDAR systems can determine the distance to objects and create precise 3D maps of the area.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Prism_Technologies_DJI_Lidar1_cb86c952f1.jpg" alt="PrismTechnologies_DJILidar1.jpg"><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>How Does LiDAR Drone Surveying Work?</h3>The Drone and LiDAR Sensor: The process begins with equipping a drone with a LiDAR sensor. The drone flies over the target area, emitting laser pulses towards the ground. As these pulses hit objects and surfaces, they bounce back to the LiDAR sensor on the drone.Data Collection: The sensor collects data on the time it takes for each laser pulse to return. By calculating this time, the system determines the distance between the drone and the object. This process is repeated thousands of times per second, capturing millions of data points across the surveyed area.Point Cloud Creation: The data collected by the LiDAR sensor is used to generate a “point cloud,” which is a 3D representation of the surveyed area. Each point in the cloud represents a specific location in the space, providing a detailed map of the area’s topography and structures.Data Processing: Once the point cloud is generated, it’s processed using specialized software to remove noise and enhance accuracy. This processed data can then be used for various applications, including topographic mapping, volumetric measurements, and 3D modeling.Data Analysis and Integration: The final step involves analyzing the data and integrating it into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or other platforms for further use.

Improve Safety, Compliance & Productivity with Spacesium Road Safety Compliance Toolbox (RSCT)

<h1>LiDAR technology is a excellent tool for mine, engineering and construction planning. and when it is properly verified, it can support the progress and final design phases. However, planners must access the progress and accuracy to ensure the it meets all the projects needs. Some factors are:&nbsp; &nbsp;</h1> 1. CAD Design compliance&nbsp; 2. Hydrology Studies&nbsp;3. Stage RL Calculations&nbsp;4. Earth work estimations&nbsp;5. Other engineering applications&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Processing LIDAR Data: Why a automated process matters.&nbsp; How Lidar and design is handled - whether through TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network), DEM (Digital Elevation Model), contour generation, sampling, or thinning and comparing it to designs —can significantly impact its final reporting maps. For instance - a QC requirement for all TINs are to be 0.5m with designs at a higher resolution. We always need to ensure there is a suitable resolution in the workflow to preserve the necessary precision in the final reporting.&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;<h3 style="margin-left:0px;">The Critical Step: Survey data against Engineering Design</h3>Before using our design to as-built software, simple validation of software is required to ensure both datasets are comparing equally to each other.&nbsp;<ol><li>Set Up Survey georeferenced systems</li></ol>Establish a foundation on where all the data fits on earth. That is ensure we are all working on the same datum and projection systems.&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Conduct Supplemental SurveysLiDAR scans is powerful when you have a base layer then complementary scans are run over different times. This allows for not just change from design but change from actual.&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Verify Data AccuracyCheck for consistent elevation or positional shifts. This is always the responsibility of the surveyor in charge. Garbage in garbage out.&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Fill in LiDAR GapsWe have build our own software to process LiDAR point clouds so the outputs are not just accurate, but consistent. The beauty of this process allow for a non-biased hands-off approach to classification.&nbsp;5. Report Map key changesThere are always different metrics to compare multiple surfaces to CAD designs. For example, some users may need 200m +- differences, while others require 0.5m.&nbsp;6. Automate the processAutomated reporting allows for the creation of Maps of construction layouts with flags and compare elevations against the LiDAR model to confirm acceptability. This is automated for simple inputs but fast outputs!&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/HR_BHPDGN_NTYNYTNT_A420250404_826c652b04.jpg" alt="HR_BHPDGN_NTYNYTNT_A420250404.jpg">&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/HR_BHPHM_NTYNYTNT_A420250404_ca6f75e29f.jpg" alt="HR_BHPHM_NTYNYTNT_A420250404.jpg">&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/HR_S32_DGN_CD_A420250311_12ae089aac.jpg" alt="HR_S32DGN_CD_A420250311.jpg">&nbsp;<img src="https://spacesium-cms.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/HR_S32_HM_CD_A420250311_4f0c62ec49.jpg" alt="HR_S32HM_CD_A420250311.jpg">&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3 style="margin-left:0px;">Final Thoughts</h3>While LiDAR offers incredible efficiency and detail, its effectiveness hinges on proper processing.
