LiDAR and Imagery Services
MSI delivers remote sensing projects for a wide range industries and applications. The company owns several LiDAR and camera systems and can provide simultaneous or separate acquisition at any scale, including fixed-wing, helicopter, UAV, and ground mobile acquisition. A suitable collection method is selected depending on the scale, level of detail required, and available budget. MSI’s state of the art acquisition systems are sourced from respected suppliers, including:
- Riegl
- Teledyne Optech
- PhaseOne
Geotechnical hazard monitoring and high-density measurement are some of MSI’s most commonly provided services. These offerings, together with MSI’s robust and customizable GIS environment assist clients and partners to better understand the condition of their assets, empowering better integrity and maintenance decisions.
Typical Applications
High Density Measurement
In applications requiring the resolution of fine surface features, MSI can provide close range data at 50 – 100+ points/m2 and 3 – 4cm imagery. These types of data sets are particularly useful for asset integrity work and as inputs for geohazard evaluation.
Applications include slope integrity, dam safety reviews, riverbank mapping, and more.
Energy Transmission and Distribution
Detailed LiDAR and imagery that is quickly available and captures all aspects of transmission and distribution assets can empower owners and contractors to make more informed decisions.
Post processing including full ASPRS LAS 1.4 or custom classification, feature extraction are available and increase the usefulness in the context of electrical infrastructure.
Disaster Response
MSI has experience with rapid response and quick turnaround in support of disaster response efforts. With modular systems and a large, established network of aviation partners, MSI can respond quickly to get data into the hands of response personnel and impacted stakeholders quickly.
Transportation Infrastructure Projects and Maintenance
Recent, high-definition LiDAR and imagery can provide insights into construction project or maintenance progress.
Combined with MSI’s web-hosted delivery and visualization tools, detailed data and insights can be disseminated to stakeholders without requiring specialized knowledge or computing resources.
Construction Planning, Routing, and Estimation
Aerial LiDAR and imagery acquired during the planning phase can provide critical insight at early project stages. MSI’s turnaround and hosting capabilities can make large volumes of data available quickly, enabling in-depth review and decision making of routing and location options informed by current data.
Accurate Datasets For Any Project
Projects include geotechnical hazard change detection, assessments of hydro-electric dam facilities and highway as-builts.
UAV or Manned Aircraft
Multiple acquisition platforms allow MSI to accommodate virtually any project size and specification.
1 – 100+ pulses/m2
From area mapping to precision measurement, MSI can provide customized data sets.
Up to 5cm RMSE
Precision ground control surveys and accuracy verification can accompany any project.
