Watershed Sciences - Lidar - Light Detection and Ranging Lidar Image
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology with a broad range of applications including forestry, urban planning, surface hydrology, and topography. Watershed Sciences owns and operates one of the most advanced LiDAR systems on the market. The system is capable of a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of up to 100kHz (i.e., 100,000 laser pulses per second) and can record up to four returns per laser pulse. Multiple laser returns allow for measuring intermediate targets within vegetation and ultimately produce a more robust ground model.
LiDAR mountain imaging Our goal is to collect high density LiDAR data with superior absolute and relative accuracies. High densities increase the ability to penetrate to the ground surface, more fully resolve targets, and capture intermediate vegetation surfaces. Quality control is built into our entire process through sensor calibration, mission planning, ground control, and accuracy assessments. We acquire LiDAR data in coastal, urban, and remote mountain environments for a wide variety of applications. We use the latest software, techniques, and work closely with research universities in the Pacific Northwest. With our partners, we have developed new methods for channel morphology and stream habitat assessments, and tested new algorithms for vegetation mapping, and 3-D visualization. Watershed Sciences customizes acquisitions, processing, and products to match our clients’ applications.
