Case Studies
Using LiDAR Mapping to Unlock Ski Area Potential
Overview
The client needed to develop a Skiing area over mountain terrain. Before developing the Skiing area, the client wanted us to study the terrain and area. The client had data ready using the total station and drone. Using this information, we had to create land contours and match the two data sets; a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) file was to be made, and data processing was needed. This project had many challenges, including the initial data provided for processing, but, using AutoCAD and skilled manual analysis, the final DTM file was provided to the client.
Challenges
The main challenge was the inaccurate drone data because the instructions given to the drone before capturing were incorrect. This made the processing of the data challenging. Another challenge that we encountered was that, after the completion of data processing, the client had more changes. These changes were required after the client revisited the site.
Solutions
- We reprocessed the data 2-3 times before the actual data processing to correct the incorrect drone data.
- Then, using AutoCAD, millions of LiDAR data points were sub-sampled and made into thousands of cloud data points.
- After this, we created contour lines to show waterfalls, elevations, and other landscape features.
- We then shared the draft with the client. After the client had revisited the site, they required certain changes.
- After understanding the changes, a final Digital Terrain Model (DTM) file was created and given to the client.
Result
The final draft of the processed LiDAR data was provided to the client in a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) file.

A Closer Look at 3D Road Mapping
Overview
The client required us to study a 5-km-long road and provide accurate 3D line work. Using the LiDAR drone-captured images and data, the existing condition of the road was to be studied. The drone-captured data was converted into GeoTIF files for a clearer study. Some challenges were encountered due to the data size, but using AutoCAD and different software, a clear 3D line work and a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) file were provided to the client.
Challenges Faced
The main challenge was the data size of the 5 km long road. Data processing of this data was time-consuming and difficult. Another challenge was point snapping and drafting the data in 3D. This data was difficult to be marked and analyzed in 3D.
Solution
The large image dataset was divided into small sections to be processed and analyzed. To work on the image in AutoCAD, we made 20 sections. Now, for point snapping and drafting of the data in 3D different views and angles of the area were used. To view and analyze the image in various views, ReCAP was used. After this, the file was drafted in an asymmetric view. To get better 3D line work, cross-sections were made every 50m to show elevations and descriptions of each point.
After creating the line work, contours were made. Using these contours and line work, utilities on the road, manholes, strippings, center lines, markings, curves, gutters, sidewalks, edges of pavements, and other details were captured and created. Finally, after the 3D line work, elevation marking, and data processing were completed, 3D line work, a DTM file, and a point file were provided to the client.
Results
Three files were prepared and sent to the client: a point file, a DTM file, and accurate 3D line work.

Creating Point Cloud Information for Mortgaged Properties
Overview
The client required a point-cloud draft of a mortgaged house. We had the ortho images, drone-captured images, lash files, and CAD drawings of the property. Using these files, we had to create the point cloud data and the drafted file for the client.
Challenges Faced
The main hallenge was the unclear drone images from the client. Another issue came from having to process a large number of files from the customer in one day.
Solution
Due to the outdated software and fewer file outputs, the number of files from the client was reduced. The unclear drone images were sent back to the client for recapture. The lash files received from the client were converted using the ReCAP software, and then these files were drafted. Finally, the changes were made to the file according to the client’s standards, and a point cloud-drafted file was submitted.
Results
The final results were submitted to the client as a point cloud-drafted file.
