@colemanjessenzDo you use your own drone or do you hire someone in to do that bit?

 

LIDAR is something I've had my eye on for a while.  What you have posted is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. 

Yes Mark we have purchased both the drone and the LIDAR unit.

I haven't checked the coverage of all of the UK but the EA (Environment Agency) has LIDAR surveyed England as far as I know.

I don't know what EA lidar data is available now but over ten  years ago I downloaded some to look at the old workings and three barrows on the local heath. It seemed to be aimed at determining local flood risk. At the time, on my non cutting edge Pentium PC it took ages to render an image. The data had already been processed to show the longest reflection,so tops of trees were filtered out, and only the ground surface was shown.

I don’t think I’ll be able to make it Mark. 
I’m flying back on the 22nd so it’s cutting it a bit close. 
 

Flick me a message on Facebook, I can keep ya updated.

Here's a link for some of the recent work we’ve been doing. This job is not my own, it’s for a friend. He’s asked me to consult and to dust off the harness if it goes ahead.
Great to use our scanner on, we will be extracting a lot of information from this one.

@KōwhaiAero helping out on a site proposed for #helicopter extraction. Using lidar equipment and GIS software they were able to isolate the proposed trees for lifting and provide a site map for planning. This information can be shared remotely so the team can familiarize themselves with the site, create a plan, efficiently deliver required materials for each individual tree.
