Airborne LiDAR Mapping

Classified, survey-grade point clouds flown on our own aircraft and processed in house. One team owns the whole chain from flight to deliverable.

Survey-Grade LiDAR for Any Area of Interest

Most LiDAR projects bounce between a flight vendor, a sensor operator, and a separate processing house, and every handoff adds time and cost. Horizonview owns the whole chain. We fly our own fixed-wing aircraft, operate the RIEGL VQ-1560 II-S, and process every deliverable in house, so your point cloud arrives faster and answers to one team.

From Flight to Point Cloud

Classified Point Clouds

Ground, vegetation, buildings, and more, classified to your scheme and ready for design and analysis.

Elevation and Surface Models

Bare-earth and full-feature DEMs and DSMs, plus contours, breaklines, and hydro-flattened surfaces.

Imagery on the Same Pass

High-resolution RGB and NIR orthomosaics captured alongside LiDAR, with radiometric thermal where the project calls for it.

Data You Can Build On

The RIEGL VQ-1560 II-S captures up to 2.66 million measurements per second at a 4 MHz pulse rate and covers up to 1,130 square kilometers per hour. A cross-fire scan pattern cuts shadowing in urban canyons and dense canopy, and an integrated IMU and GNSS keeps positioning tight across the whole flight. The result is dense, accurately georeferenced data your survey and GIS teams can trust.
