LIDAR Analyst Software Applications for the Defense Industry

Homeland Security is the fastest growing sector in global defense, stimulating the market for commercial imagery and data services. LIDAR Analyst® meets this need by providing enhanced processing of multiple return LIDAR data.

For Homeland Security and other defense-related functions, LIDAR Analyst offers distinct benefits in is its ability to generate the bare earth layer, plus buildings, trees, and other features, in a fast, accurate, and automated approach. LIDAR Analyst is particularly useful in identifying targets, such as tanks and aircraft.

In the defense market, the LIDAR Analyst software is used first and foremost to define the bare earth surface, which represents Earth’s surface void of buildings, structures, and vegetation. The precision of the bare earth model determines the accuracy of the 3D model.

LIDAR Analyst answers the complexity of three-dimensional mapping, providing a simple, effective workflow for 3D modeling. Typical 3D visualization, including the bare earth surface with enhanced buildings and trees, can be achieved in a matter of hours.
