LiDAR Support for Surveying & Engineering
Atlas Mapping Solutions provides aerial LiDAR acquisition and processing services that complement licensed land surveying and engineering workflows by delivering dense geospatial datasets for topographic mapping, volumetrics, and engineering design support. Using D-RTK 3 GNSS positioning with RTK and PPK processing workflows, we generate centimeter-level elevation datasets that can be georeferenced and validated against established project control, with documented QA/QC and accuracy reporting. Atlas focuses on aerial data acquisition and processing; where a project requires professional surveying and mapping services, certification, or responsible charge, those functions remain with the appropriately licensed Professional Surveyor and Mapper. Our LiDAR services can significantly reduce field time and expand data coverage across large or complex project areas.
GNSS Positioning & Georeferencing: D-RTK 3 base station and onboard rover provide RTK positioning. If real-time correction is interrupted, PPK processing restores centimeter-level positional accuracy.
LiDAR as a Surveying Support Tool: Aerial LiDAR can rapidly collect dense spatial information over large areas, allowing licensed professionals to incorporate remote-sensing data into their established surveying and engineering workflows.
Accuracy & Standards: Dataset accuracy is evaluated on a project-specific basis and depends on altitude, GNSS conditions, control quality, surface type, vegetation, processing methodology and checkpoint configuration. Accuracy statistics can be supplied as data-quality information; professional certification is outside Atlas's independent scope unless performed by the appropriately licensed professional.
Production: Large project areas can be mapped at high production rates, with processing and QA typically completed within days depending on project size and deliverables.
Deliverables: High-density point clouds, DTMs/DSMs, orthomosaics, GIS/CAD-ready datasets, metadata, and QA/QC documentation for surveying and engineering workflows.
Professional Surveying Requirements: Professional surveying and mapping services required by law must be performed by a licensed Professional Surveyor and Mapper. Atlas LiDAR supports these workflows by providing high-density terrain data and reducing manual field collection.
