Use Case
Duplicating and improving an existing road required detailed mapping of nearly 300 hectares, a complex task due to the terrain's orography and dense vegetation. Using conventional methods would have been costly, time-consuming, and would have limited the accuracy of the digital terrain model.
Terrain with complex orography and dense vegetation
To address this challenge, a DJI 350 RTK drone equipped with the Zenmuse L2 LiDAR sensor was used to accurately collect data over 300 hectares in a single flight day. The resulting point cloud was first processed with DJI Terra software to extract the data.
The point cloud obtained was first processed using the DJI Terra software, which allowed the extraction of terrain points. This analysis was complemented with manual tools from Aplitop's PointCloud Editor tcp to refine the segmentation of vegetation, roads, and natural terrain.
In addition, integration with Aplitop's ecosystem of applications, such as tcpMDT, facilitated the creation of digital terrain models, profile generation, and volume calculations, ensuring interoperability and high-quality results.
