Development of innovative technology for large-scale, high-precision airborne scanning HLS – High-Precision Lidar Scanning

The subject of the project is the implementation of research aimed at developing an innovative technology of airborne precision laser scanning HLS (High-Precision Lidar Scanning). HLS, thanks to the analytical surface alignment of the airborne lidar point cloud using high-precision reference scanning, will enable obtaining a geodetic level of map accuracy, unavailable for competitive solutions currently on the market. As part of the R&D module, the accuracy limits of airborne ALS point clouds will be determined depending on the adopted flight parameters, the characteristics of the sensors used and the support platforms for the measurement sets will be selected. The accuracy minimums of the reference high-resolution 3D reference point clouds, which are the source of correction corrections for the selected fully analytical method of strict alignment, will be determined. The work will also include the construction and testing in real conditions of a prototype of a hybrid measurement system - a demonstrator of the developed HLS technology. The innovative HLS technology, based on the adaptive alignment of the large-scale airborne ALS cloud using ultra-accurate local reference clouds obtained from an efficient unmanned UAV platform, will ensure the achievement of rigorous geodetic accuracy levels of mxy<10cm mz<5cm for the resulting HLS point cloud, enabling its use in such engineering fields as design, mapping, BIM and GIS spatial analysis. The implementation of the technology will take place by introducing the results of R&D works into the applicant's own business activity - starting to provide the precise HLS airborne laser scanning service. Expanding the applicant's offer with an innovative service not offered on the market so far will allow for a significant strengthening of the competitive position of Geodimex S.A. and for the applicant to obtain the position of a technological leader in the industry.
