Aerial LiDAR Scanning
Aerial LiDAR
Wilson & Associates’ Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) operations are grounded in expert piloting, meticulous planning, and the latest in aerial imaging and LiDAR technology. Our FAA Part 107-certified pilots—each with extensive flight hours—excel at navigating both straightforward and complex environments, delivering consistent, reliable data collection across thousands of acres.
Using high-resolution aerial imagery and precision LiDAR, we capture detailed ortho photos, point clouds, and 3D surfaces to support infrastructure development, engineering, and land management projects. Every dataset is processed in-house by our professional geomatics technicians under the supervision of licensed Professional Surveyors, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and full survey-grade reliability.
Each deliverable includes comprehensive registration reports to guarantee consistency and usability across applications.
At Wilson & Associates, we view UAS as a true surveying tool—not just a data collection method. That’s why we bring together expert flight teams, advanced tech, and rigorous workflows to set the standard for precision, efficiency, and trust in aerial data solutions.
