LIDAR Alex Rixon, LiDAR Production Manager

WHAT IS LIDAR? LIGHT DISTANCE AND RANGING

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

QUALITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL

  • With LiDAR, small features such as fallen trees, sheds and fences are clearly visible under dense vegetation cover

  • AMX can capture LiDAR point clouds ranging in density from 1-2 ppm (points per sq m), all the way up to 200 ppm

  • 3-dimensional shape of building roofs and powerlines have many applications in urban and utility modelling

==> picture [309 x 174] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [309 x 172] intentionally omitted <==

A HISTORY OF GROWTH

Improved LiDAR sensor technology has resulted in

  • More dense point clouds

  • More accurate datasets

  • More use cases & projects

We have responded to these trends by increasing & upgrading our sensors to the latest technologies. We are future focused, investing in research and development, cloud computing and AI programs.

==> picture [501 x 298] intentionally omitted <==

INNOVATION DRIVING EXCELLENCE

Weeks of processing reduced to a few hours

  • Automated workflows

  • Cloud processing platform

==> picture [453 x 305] intentionally omitted <==

  • Low costs – High quality

==> picture [34 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

LIDAR AND MINING

Mines are dynamic environments that require continuous monitoring and planning.

Aerometrex provides accurate LiDAR and imagery data to mines as well as a wide range of value-added analytical services. We capture data over mine sites on a monthly or quarterly basis.

These projects are logistically challenging due to remote areas and the expectation for fast data delivery. Cloud processing and direct data uploads from the field make this possible.

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [34 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

IMPROVING SAFETY

Mine sites require accurate and reliable data to plan mining activates. AMX provides detailed analysis for

  • Safety compliance

  • Windrow height and width

  • Slope analysis

  • Volume calculation

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

MINE WINDROW ANALYSIS

  • With minimal setup, our semi-automated workflows allow Aerometrex to provide analysis on roads, safety bunds and windrows in just a few hours.

  • Roads are measured for width and slope characteristics, while safety bunds are checked to ensure that they comply with height, width and slope requirements for the site.

  • Fast turn around of reports and maps provided allow mine managers to schedule any remedial actions required to meet compliance.

==> picture [367 x 144] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [34 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

VOLUME CALCULATION

==> picture [398 x 139] intentionally omitted <==

AMX also provides accurate productivity reports for mining clients. Stocking volume curves for sullage ponds or wastewater reservoirs provide vital insight for the management and lifecycle of these assets. Our mining clients rely on us to provide fast and accurate

  • Stockpile volume reports

  • Pit or pond volumes

  • End of month surveys

LIDAR AND VEGETATION MODELLING

Another application of LiDAR data is the modelling of vegetation. Only LiDAR data provides detailed modelling of the entire tree structure. Aerometrex uses this data to provide solutions to local & state governments and for forestry applications.

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

ANALYSING VEGETATION STRUCTURES

Detailed canopy metrics provide insights into the amount and type of vegetation coverage within a project area. Our LiDAR-derived vegetation models are a tool used by government to manage issues such as

 invasive species detection

 improve green space

 urban heat modelling

==> picture [960 x 199] intentionally omitted <==

For managed forestry assets, Aerometrex provides detailed datasets that are used to monitor tree growth, predict harvest yield and improve harvest performance.

Through detailed modelling of the terrain under vegetation, analysis of access tracks and planation rows can be undertaken, allowing harvesters plot save & efficient routes with

onboard data systems.

==> picture [34 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

CANOPY MODELS

Our detailed vegetation analytics provide insight into the amount of area that is covered by vegetation in specific height ranges above the ground. AMX provides analysis that includes

 Height of vegetation

  • Density of vegetation

  • Change detection

  • Detailed reporting

  • Valuable insights

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [417 x 436] intentionally omitted <==

Aerometrex have completed vegetation mapping at massive scales. Seen here are images from an ACT analysis that included detailed vegetation height models and land cover models prepared over the entire ACT region, comprising more than 90 Billion LiDAR measurements over a project area of 3,300 sq km. These images represent the heights all vegetation taller than 3m.

METROMAP MAKING LIDAR ACCESSIBLE

LiDAR datasets can be massive, leading to issues of cost and scale that are prohibitive to small users.

Aerometrex is making data more accessible via its MetroMap platform, creating the opportunity to purchase quality and up-to-date data on smaller scale. Our LiDAR-derived datasets are available for purchase on a per-use basis on top of MetroMap subscriptions

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Over 95,000 SQ KM OF LIDAR DATA

==> picture [163 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

LIDAR-DERIVED DATA ON METROMAP

  • With the LiDAR coverage, users can see the shape of terrain and additional contextual information, that is not available from imagery alone

  • These functions lower the barrier to entry for first time LiDAR uses and make these quality dataset more accessible to existing and new clients
