Aerial Focus combines high-resolution photogrammetry and LiDAR capture to create detailed digital representations of sites, structures and assets. Depending on the project, data can be processed into orthomosaics, point clouds, meshes, elevation models and 3D outputs that support inspection, measurement, design, planning and long-term asset records.

What we provide

Photogrammetry using overlapping high-resolution imagery to reconstruct accurate surface geometry and texture.

LiDAR capture using laser measurements to generate dense 3D point-cloud data, including environments where imagery alone may be limited.

Combined capture strategies where imagery and LiDAR complement each other.

Repeat surveys to record change, construction progress or asset condition over time.

Data prepared for downstream CAD, BIM, GIS and engineering workflows where required.

Why use aerial focus?

Why use
aerial focus?

Photogrammetry provides highly detailed, photo-realistic surface information, while LiDAR directly measures geometry and can be especially valuable around complex structures, low-texture surfaces and vegetation. The best method depends on the site and required output - and in some projects, using both provides the strongest dataset.
