Dual-Use LiDAR System
The Riegl VUX-1UAS LiDAR sensor captures an impressive 500,000 points per second and can seamlessly move between Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS). This flexibility allows for quick transitions from drone to vehicle, enhancing our ability to capture large amounts of data efficiently and precisely.
Inspection Capabilities
High-resolution imagery and 4K video capture detailed views of bridges, storm-damaged structures, and hard-to-access areas. Site photo mosaics provide a complete perspective of roof conditions and overall site health. The M4T’s VOx microbolometer enables radiometric thermal imaging to detect heat loss, moisture intrusion, and other structural issues.
SLAM LiDAR Scanning
Handheld SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) LiDAR scanners rapidly collect accurate 3D data while you walk, making it easy to map volumes, infrastructure, and complex environments. The result is detailed point clouds delivered faster and more efficiently than traditional static scanning methods, with quality results suitable for detailed engineering design.
Terrain Models and Photogrammetry
Survey-grade terrain models provide accurate representations of ground surface conditions, supporting site planning, engineering design, drainage analysis, and volume calculations. High-resolution orthomosaics deliver a detailed, georeferenced aerial view that can be used for mapping, asset inspection, and progress monitoring.
Real-world inspection → captured UAV data → interactive 3D model
3D Modelling
Inspectors can review stills and video or leverage enhanced 3D modelling. Using DroneDeploy, we map individual thermal or RGB images to precise locations on a 3D model—ideal for large or uniform façades like glass-clad buildings.
Quantity & Volume Surveys
Handheld SLAM LiDAR technology quickly captures detailed 3D site data, even in complex environments. The resulting point clouds enable precise quantity calculations for stockpiles, earthworks, and material inventories. By reducing field time and improving accuracy, SLAM surveys help streamline project planning and cost management.
Remote sensing delivers more data, more safely.
Remote sensing captures more data, more safely. By reducing or eliminating the need to work at height, or on busy roadways, UASs and MMS' provide efficient, comprehensive, and safer inspection options. Whether you require advanced modelling, thermal analysis, or rapid data access, Callon Dietz offers tailored solutions to meet your inspection needs.
