LiDAR Drone Scanning Services for Precision Mapping & Data Collection

Professional quadcopter drone equipped with a LiDAR sensor hovering above a rural gravel path, used for high-precision aerial mapping and terrain scanning in Minnesota.
SkyView Drone Services in action — our LiDAR-equipped drone performs high-precision terrain scanning over rural landscapes, delivering fast and accurate 3D mapping for surveying, construction, and environmental analysis.

At SkyView Drone Services, our LiDAR drone scanning solutions offer unmatched precision for capturing terrain, structures, and vegetation—even through dense canopy or hard-to-reach areas. Whether you're in construction, agriculture, mining, or environmental research, our drone LiDAR services provide fast, accurate, and scalable results.


What is LiDAR Drone Scanning?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses laser pulses to measure distances from the air to the ground. When mounted on drones, this technology creates high-resolution 3D point clouds and elevation models in a fraction of the time required by traditional survey teams.

This scanning method is ideal for:

  • Heavily vegetated areas

  • Large-scale job sites

  • Precise terrain mapping


Top Industries That Use LiDAR Drone Scanning

  • Pre-site topographic mapping

  • Cut/fill calculations

  • Road planning and earthworks

Environmental Monitoring

  • Forest canopy density

  • Watershed and floodplain mapping

  • Erosion tracking

Agriculture

  • Crop health & drainage mapping

  • Field elevation models

  • Precision planning

Mining & Quarrying
