Our software relies on LiDAR data for building 3D terrain with accurate elevation, which is paramount in visualizing environmental data. LiDAR is being collected around the globe, and typically can be found in public domain repositories online for download. If you’re not sure the data exists in your area, we can check for you, or schedule a flight to have it collected!

Some companies offer 3D modelling of terrain with drones through a process called Photogrammetry. Although this can look similar to 3D LiDAR, its elevation is approximated by a computer and is not accurate.
