SimActive Used for the Fusion of Lidar and Photogrammetry

By Eric Van Rees - 13th May 2025 - 06:47

SimActive announces that Dewberry is utilizing its Correlator3D software to combine lidar and imagery data for enhanced map product creation. 

This fusion allows for the direct import of lidar data and its integration with image-derived surfaces and color information, resulting in precise surface models, colorized point clouds, and orthomosaics.

Dewberry employs dual sensor systems, capturing both lidar and imagery, ensuring complete coverage and superior mapping deliverables for a diverse clientele. Projects like cross-country corridors use imagery to colorize point clouds, aiding in vegetation encroachment analysis. In areas involving water, topobathy lidar is fused with elevations derived from imagery to create a more comprehensive surface model.
 
“We like Correlator3D’s ability to merge multiple datasets and create high-quality mapping products quickly”, said Ryan Ligon, Geospatial Technology Manager at Dewberry. “Our project varies from a few flight lines to wide area mapping and Correlator3D handles it all, making our job much easier.”
