How can UAS Lidar Support Civil Engineering?

The fourth episode of the Points + Pixels podcast focuses on the
use of drones to support civil engineering project work. Company
founder, Mary Wohnrade, and her son, Brendan Thompson, are the
leaders of Wohnrade Civil Engineers, which is based in
Broomfield, Colorado.


Mary and her team provide civil engineering services throughout
Colorado and have used drones to capture high-resolution imagery
for municipal project work. Wohnrade has since developed a
service offering for “unmanned precision aerial mapping” and the
firm has recently invested in a new, unmanned Lidar mapping
system. Mary & Brendan share their thoughts about drone
mapping, Lidar data, and the challenge of producing accurate
geospatial derivatives from point cloud data.
