Drone LIDAR is becoming very popular in the drone precision mapping community. While photogrammetry (Structure from Motion, SfM) is the dominate way to do drone mapping (due to its very low entry cost), it does not provide a solution where there is vegetated ground or for modeling overhead structures such as wires.
However, the cost barrier to entry for drone LIDAR is relatively high at approximately 80K, all in, for the lowest cost system. An additional barrier to entry is the high cost and complexity of software tools necessary to enter this market. To ease the barriers to entry, consider using our drone LIDAR/imagery True View Subscription.

Under this model, you are effectively subscribing to the full True View solution. GeoCue understands that some projects take less/more time than others. We offer subscription periods as short as 1 month. During your subscription period you will receive both software and hardware updates as they occur. This keeps your technology in an “evergreen” state, and if you end up realizing that a traditional purchase is more practical for the future, your subscription can be terminated to allow the system purchase at a time that fits your schedule.
Customers pay by the number of minutes the sensor is in motion. At the start of each month, customers receive 3,250 “timed” True View points. These points convert into flight minutes based on usage and choice of positioning solution. With 3,250 True View points, customers can typically fly 20 sites of 50 acres each per month. Additional True View Points can be purchased as needed. These extra points never expire and can be used towards the purchase of flight minutes, or on True View products and services.
