A LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) drone is an unmanned aircraft equipped with a LiDAR sensor. LiDAR uses laser pulses to measure the distance between the sensor and the Earth’s surface, creating extremely precise three-dimensional point clouds.

This method is effective for generating digital elevation models, 3D mapping, and other applications that require high-resolution data in terms of elevation.

LiDAR data plays a crucial role in the efficient planning and operation of engineering projects. Such data provides detailed and accurate information about the surrounding environment, allowing for better decision-making.

The technology makes it possible to obtain three-dimensional measurements of the terrain, resulting in the creation of digital models that provide an extremely detailed visualization of the environment.
