The LIDAR Technique

As part of our surveying services, the LIDAR technique (Light Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances to areas and objects, generating high-resolution point clouds for the creation of detailed 3D maps. Acero Estudio, a company specialized in Surveying and Geodesy, offers this type of topographic study.

Use Case of the LIDAR Technique

A clear example of the usefulness and power of LIDAR is when topographic mapping is required in a dense forest, where limited visibility makes traditional methods difficult.

In this case, the LIDAR technique enables accurate ground data collection. LIDAR works by emitting laser pulses that penetrate through vegetation and reflect off the ground, providing a detailed image of the underlying terrain.

Uses and Applications

• In geography and geology, LIDAR is used to identify geological features and measure elevation.
• In urban planning, it helps determine terrain levels within cities, supporting the design of infrastructure to protect flood-prone areas.
• In agriculture, it assists in analyzing terrain and optimizing water resource management.
