For example, Behron & Associates enlisted GeoCue to examine data from three different LiDAR scanners to help recommend a sensor for electric utility work. GeoCue provided an in-depth LiDAR Data Analysis Report for data collected with a Phoenix Lidar Systems Ranger-HA Riegl VUX-1 (VUX-2), a Riegl VUX-1-HA (VUX-1), and the Aerolid 720 LIVOX Avia (Aerolid).

The comparison was detailed and scientific, covering data structure, data quality, and wire specific analysis for all three LiDAR scanners. This type of analysis and methodology illustrates why GeoCue is at the vanguard of LiDAR technology and demonstrates why industry-leading surveying, mapping, and geospatial companies rely on GeoCue for successful collection, processing, and management of LiDAR data. 

Companies like the United States Geological Survey (USGS), who in cooperation with GeoCue, developed a tool to validate LAS compliance. This tool is built into GeoCue’s TrueView„¢ EVO/LP360 software and was used in the data structure analysis for this report.

The LiDAR Data Analysis Report concludes with GeoCue providing recommendations and identifying datasets that showed some problematic issues in post-processing as well as sensor calibration errors. The overall assessment of the data from all three systems and the conclusions are detailed in the 36-page report, which can be downloaded below.

This type of insight, detail, and knowledge provided by the professionals at GeoCue demonstrates why GeoCue can objectively recommend the right LiDAR product for the right application. Their experience and expertise can help you identify the quality of sensor needed and more importantly, get industry-leading processing software to obtain your best results.
