Aerial photography and Lidar

Aerial photography and Lidar



Aerial photography and Lidar are airborne technologies for the acquisition of geographic data.
This results in Orthophotoplans, Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Digital Surface Models (DSM) and derived cartographic products.

ETAFAT is today positioned as a continental leader in airborne data acquisition thanks to a large fleet of aircrafts that can be mobilized at short notice, as well as to its high-tech digital sensors and lasers.

Our engineers and experts in photogrammetry use aerial digital cameras producing high quality geometric and radiometric images, as well as high performance Lidars producing 3D point clouds, and then perform all the processing operations necessary to produce outputs adapted to your needs.
