Advanced LiDAR Data Processing & 3D Spatial Intelligence

Harness the power of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to generate high-precision, survey-grade 3D data that captures infrastructure environments with unmatched accuracy. PalniES delivers end-to-end LiDAR data processing and analysis—from raw point cloud classification to terrain modeling, feature extraction, and engineering-ready deliverables that support complex infrastructure planning and design.

Using airborne, mobile, terrestrial, and bathymetric LiDAR systems, we process dense point clouds into structured datasets with precise X, Y, and Z coordinates and detailed intensity reflectance values. Our advanced classification workflows overcome the limitations of traditional photogrammetry, enabling accurate modeling of terrain, utilities, transportation corridors, vegetation, and built environments—even in complex or heavily obstructed areas.

Precision LiDAR Processing for Engineering-Grade Deliverables

PalniES transforms airborne, mobile, and terrestrial LiDAR datasets into structured, engineering-ready spatial intelligence that supports infrastructure planning, design, and asset management. Our team processes raw point clouds through rigorous classification, calibration, and quality-control workflows to produce highly accurate terrain models, surface models, and feature extractions aligned with project specifications and industry standards.

Using advanced LiDAR processing platforms and geospatial analytics tools, we generate classified point clouds, Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), Digital Surface Models (DSMs), breaklines, contours, and 3D feature models with survey-grade precision. Each dataset is validated to ensure spatial consistency and accuracy, enabling seamless integration into GIS, CAD, and BIM environments.

Whether mapping power transmission lines, fiber corridors, highways, rail systems, waterways, or urban infrastructure, our LiDAR specialists deliver scalable spatial intelligence that improves safety, reduces field risk, and supports data-driven decision-making across the project lifecycle.
