UgCS LIDAR toolset unlocks the full potential of LIDARs making remote sensing most effective with no human errors

Advantages of UgCS EXPERT

Flight planning

Save time on mission planning with flight patterns and turns designed specifically for LIDAR surveys. Create a flight plan in 3D and fly with terrain following.

Flight

Acquire high-quality laser data with preset IMU initialization patterns and anti-shake LIDAR turns. Offline map caching and map/elevation import features make it possible to fly even without any internet connectivity.

Post-flight

High accuracy of laser data acquired during the flight ensures getting desired results with one trip to the field.

How-To: Drone-based LIDAR missions planning

Key Features

Precise calibration
Increase the accuracy of laser data with automated IMU calibration commands.
UgCS supports the two most popular IMU calibration patterns: Eight-figure and U-figure
Flight patterns for route planning
Based on the area of your interest, set up LIDAR Area scanning for areas like construction sites, open-pit mines, and forests, or employ LIDAR Corridor scanning for linear objects like power lines or pipelines

Anti-shake turns
Reduce shaking of the sensor, while accurately following the trajectory, with bank or loop turns applied automatically
Constant line spacing and buffer
Automatically calculate required line spacing and overlap to ensure desired point cloud density and improve coverage on area borders
