Learn why you should add LiDAR to your workflow
Is it time to make LiDAR a part of your surveying business? TrueView LiDAR from GeoCue has you covered, with the most complete lineup of aerial, mobile, and handheld mapping systems available!
Today, geospatial professionals are seeking smarter, faster, and safer ways to collect high-accuracy data. LiDAR technology from TrueView is more efficient tool for mapping, surveying, engineering, construction, and more. With the growing need for precision and accuracy, integrating LiDAR into field operations is a strategic investment that pays off.
GeoCue’s TrueView LiDAR portfolio offers a complete lineup of aerial, mobile, and handheld systems tailored to modern geospatial workflows. These systems are designed to increase field productivity, reduce labor costs, and deliver high-quality results in a shorter timeframe. From drone-mounted sensors to mobile mapping rigs and handheld SLAM units, TrueView LiDAR systems streamline data collection and processing across any environment.
Here are the top five ways TrueView LiDAR can save your business time and money while improving the overall quality of your data and deliverables.
1. Boost Productivity and Profits with Faster Data Collection
TrueView LiDAR allows professionals to cover significantly more ground in less time than traditional surveying methods. By flying or walking over a site with LiDAR-equipped platforms, survey teams can collect dense, accurate data in a single pass. This reduction in field time translates directly to higher throughput, enabling companies to take on more projects with the same staff and increase revenue potential.
For example, drone LiDAR can survey hundreds of acres in a single flight, while handheld or mobile systems are ideal for mapping complex ground features without the need for time-consuming ground control point setups. With quicker project turnaround, businesses can reallocate valuable resources and shorten delivery timelines for clients.
2. Efficiently Penetrate Vegetation for Accurate Topography
One of the most powerful capabilities of LiDAR technology is its ability to penetrate vegetation and generate bare-earth models. With TrueView LiDAR, users can easily remove tree canopies and foliage to reveal detailed ground surfaces beneath, enabling accurate topographic mapping in heavily forested or overgrown areas.
This capability is especially valuable for engineers, land surveyors, and environmental consultants conducting site analyses, land development planning, and drainage studies. Instead of spending days manually clearing brush or estimating contours through photogrammetry, users can deliver complete surface models in a fraction of the time, often going from field data to final deliverable in the same day.
3. Enhance Safety in Challenging or Hazardous Terrain
Traditional land-based surveying often requires teams to navigate steep slopes, dense vegetation, construction zones, or unstable terrain. TrueView’s aerial and mobile LiDAR systems significantly reduce exposure to these risks by allowing data collection from a safe distance, whether by drone, vehicle, or handheld scanner.
TrueView aerial systems enable flight-based data capture over mountainous or otherwise inaccessible areas, eliminating the need for boots on the ground. Similarly, mobile mapping and SLAM-enabled handheld devices let users collect precise data while walking or driving through complex environments, keeping teams out of harm’s way while still capturing every critical detail.
4. Generate High-Quality Data with Powerful Software Integration
Capturing accurate data is only half the equation—processing and turning that data into usable outputs is where TrueView and LP360 software excel. Every TrueView system is designed to seamlessly integrate with LP360, a robust LiDAR and photogrammetry processing suite that empowers users to produce georeferenced point clouds, digital terrain models (DTMs), contours, and more.
LP360 supports rapid QA/QC workflows, point cloud classification, and automated feature extraction, helping teams deliver professional-grade outputs with minimal manual effort. By combining advanced hardware with streamlined software, TrueView systems deliver an end-to-end solution that maximizes efficiency while maintaining high accuracy standards.
5. Cost-Effective Solutions for Every Budget and Use Case
GeoCue offers one of the most comprehensive and scalable LiDAR product lines in the industry. From entry-level systems like the TrueView TV1 Lite, ideal for teams starting out with drone LiDAR, to advanced NDAA compliant units like the TrueView 720, there’s a solution to match every technical need and budget.
For those seeking flexible platforms, GeoCue also offers dual-use systems for both drone and vehicle-based mapping, reducing the need to purchase separate hardware. The new TrueView GO brings powerful handheld SLAM-based scanning to the field, enabling GNSS or non-GNSS environments to be captured quickly and accurately—perfect for indoor spaces, underground sites, or heavily canopied areas.
TrueView LiDAR Solutions: A System for Every Mapping Challenge
Aerial Drone Mapping
GeoCue’s aerial solutions provide survey-grade LiDAR and photogrammetry tools for drone mapping projects. These turnkey systems include everything from sensors and software to training and support, streamlining workflows from flight to finish. Whether you’re mapping corridors, large-area topography, or infrastructure, TrueView aerial systems deliver accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
Mobile Mapping
For ground-based data collection, TrueView mobile systems offer the versatility of vehicle-mounted LiDAR with minimal setup. These dual-purpose sensors can switch between aerial and mobile applications, making them ideal for teams working on roads, railways, and city infrastructure. With integrated hardware and software packages, users can start mapping from day one.
Handheld LiDAR
The TrueView GO handheld LiDAR scanner offers unmatched flexibility for indoor, underground, or dense urban environments. Available in two versions: the TrueView GO 116S and the TrueView GO 132S, this system blends GNSS RTK with SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to deliver survey-grade results while walking.
TrueView GO is ideal for building interiors, tunnels, mines, and any site where GPS is unavailable or unreliable. It’s lightweight, portable, and integrates directly with LP360, giving users the tools to register, colorize, and quality check data with ease.
Seamless Integration with LP360 for a Unified Workflow
All TrueView LiDAR systems are designed to work in tandem with LP360 software, ensuring a smooth transition from raw data to final deliverables. Whether fusing drone data with mobile or handheld scans, LP360 provides a single platform to register, classify, and analyze point clouds. From field to office, LP360 streamlines workflows and reduces manual effort, empowering teams to do more, faster.
