LIDAR Mapping of Rural Road Corridor

Queensland Drones was engaged by one of our valued surveyor partners, working on behalf of a local Council, to capture a high-definition 3D model, or digital twin, of a number of rural road corridors.

In the course of this project we captured LIDAR and RGB imagery along more than 10km of rural roads.

For maximum precision, our survey partner provided measured locations for our GNSS base in each section and accurate locations for all of our ground control points, allowing us to deliver a 3D model and orthomosaic at a precision of less than 2cm RMSE.

Outputs included 3D colourised point cloud, high-resolution 2D orthomosaic, features and breaklines, TiN Mesh, cross-section profiles, ground-classified DEM and 25cm interval elevation contours.
