Aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry survey
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is method of mapping that allows high levels of detail to be recorded about topography, vegetation, buildings, infrastructure, and more.
Greater Melbourne LiDAR capture program
RPS has captured LiDAR data over all of Greater Melbourne to support urban and environmental management.
Spatial insights for urban management in Melbourne
Our aerial mapping team was engaged by Victoria's Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to undertake LiDAR capture for the entire metro area at a high point density of eight points per square metre.
The project utilised multiple aircraft during several stages to support successful data capture under tight urban flight restrictions close to Tullamarine Airport. Despite the challenging conditions flying over a metropolitan area with busy airspace, we were able to collect all data and deliver a high-quality dataset to DELWP.
The project was the winner of the 2019 Victorian regional Asia Pacific Spatial Excellence Awards and was delivered on budget, with the client using the high point density dataset to derive a wide range of insights for the city.
