Lidar Services

LiDAR data processing services enable the electrical utility industry with the efficient planning and maintenance of electric networks..

DCIL provides full range of LiDAR data processing services.

DCIL has rich experience in analyzing Terrestrial, Mobile and Aerial lidar scanner data for clients across the globe.

LiDAR is popularly used to obtain rich and highly accurate information about terrains, asset details effectively. Use of LiDAR  for topographical mapping and contour generation has gained fast acceptance worldwide. Aerial LiDAR’s scans  allows to precisely measure topography, vegetation height and cover, as well as complex canopy attributes. Mobile LiDAR’s scans are used for collecting road, tunnel, bridge features, conditions and assets for inventory & maintenance plans.

Lidar data processing services

LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) , a new technology in the field of topographical data collection with high speed, high density and accurate data. LIDAR scanning can occur day or night, as long as clear flying conditions are present; also have the capability to capture intensity reflectance data in addition to the x-y-z coordinates

LiDAR data compilation with experienced staff, advanced LiDAR data processing software and workstations.

  • Road feature extraction from point clouds
  • More than 30,000 km of extraction experience
  • DEM and DSM creation, volume computations

DTM & DSM Classification

A DSM (Digital Surface Model) captures both the natural and built/artificial features of the environment, as shown below; – A DTM (Digital Terrain Model) typically augments a DEM, by including vector features of the natural terrain, such as rivers and ridges.

Advance classification

Lidar points can be classified into a number of categories including bare earth or ground, top of canopy, and water. The different classes are defined using numeric integer codes in the LAS files

Bathymetry mapping

Bathymetry is the study of the “beds” or “floors” of water bodies, including the ocean, rivers, streams, and lakes.

Bathymetry is a crucial element to understanding the workings of the marine environment. It is important in the nautical world, as the charts are used to effectively navigate waters. Without bathymetry, mariners wouldn’t know which waterways were impassible or dangerously shallow.

Power Line feature coding and catenary stringing,

A transmission tower, also known as an electricity pylon or simply a pylon in British English and as a hydro tower in Canadian English, is a tall structure, usually a steel lattice tower, used to support an overhead power line.

Corridor Mapping

Corridor mapping allows WingtraOne to fly in a linear pattern in order to achieve faster and more efficient mapping of roads, railways, and pipelines. The corridor area can be automatically extracted from a polyline KML file or it can be manually entered.

Power Line structure design services :

We Design An overhead used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy across large distances. It consists of one or more uninsulated electrical cables (commonly multiples of three for three-phase power) suspended by towers or poles.

The overhead transmission line is generally categorized into three classes,depending on the length of the line:

Lines shorter than 50 km are generally referred to as short transmission lines.

Lines between 50 km and 150 km are generally referred to as medium transmission lines.
