Lidar point cloud data analysis

Elaborating on his vision behind this strategic partnership, Prateek Srivastava, CEO, Terra Drone India, stated: “Drones have revolutionized land surveying and urban planning across the world. Today, using a drone is the fastest and most efficient way to collect data for developing 3D models of site topography or generating detailed elevation models and contour lines. Geo-Plus’ software is a natural extension to this service because the data we generate is only as good as the software that processes it. Geo-Plus offers a plethora of benefits to engineers and architects, including allowing them to quickly visualize terrain from different angles and simplifying the analysis of Lidar point cloud data.”

Wilfrid Beaupre, CEO, Geo-Plus, said: “For over three decades, we have been helping land professionals to standardize their operations and improve their workflows with a multitude of calculation and analysis tools. With the construction industry in India rapidly going digital, our software can help land surveyors and civil engineers to maximize their return on investment. We are positive that our partnership with Terra Drone India as well as the continued after-sales support that we offer will allow us to meet the most specific and unique requests of each client in India.”
