Drones for Surveying

Creating Topographic Surveys With Ease


Learn how Ron King from Langan uses LP360 point cloud software to create a topographic survey of a quarry.

For nearly two decades, GIS professionals have trusted LP360, an advanced LiDAR software package, for its 3D high-performance point cloud processing capabilities. LP360 simplifies the extraction of information and the generation of deliverables within an intuitive GIS environment, making it the go-to choice for those in surveying, civil engineering, transportation, mining, construction, forestry, and utilities.

But what makes LP360 stand out from other processing tools on the market? Why do geospatial professionals rely on it for their most demanding projects? These are the questions we explore in our series, Geospatial Genius.

This episode features Ronald King, PLS, a Senior Survey Project Manager at Langan. Ron leverages LP360 Drone software to process LiDAR data collected with TrueView 3D Imaging Systems, demonstrating how he efficiently creates a topographic survey of a deep quarry in Connecticut. His expertise highlights why industry leaders turn to LP360 to process, analyze, and maximize their survey data.

Ron explains how LP360 seamlessly integrates with the hardware, allowing data to flow directly from the sensor into the software without a hitch. With a simple, well-structured workflow, Ron quickly processes the data, refines it with GPS input, and classifies ground points to produce an accurate topographic survey. Through various steps, from creating flight lines to producing a colorized point cloud, Ron’s demonstration showcases the flexibility and power of LP360.
