LiDARnetics: AI Powered LiDAR Processing

Woolpert’s automated LiDAR processing system delivers rapid turnaround, saving time and resources. Leveraging cloud based processing and machine learning, LiDARnetics securely transforms billions of LiDAR points into actionable intelligence. Typical mine site data is processed in under four hours, with classification completed in less than one hour.

Enabling Enhanced Environmental Outcomes

Woolpert employs cutting-edge geospatial technologies to monitor and mitigate environmental impacts throughout the mining lifecycle. Colourised Topographic LiDAR and bathymetric surveys provide precise data on landforms and water bodies, aiding in effective planning and reporting, and environmental protection. GIS tools and 3D content facilitate the monitoring of ecological changes, allowing for timely intervention.

UAV/RPAS earth observation solutions support the assessment of vegetation health and the detection of potential environmental hazards. By integrating these advanced solutions, Woolpert promotes sustainable practices that minimise the environmental footprint of mining operations, ensuring that ecological considerations are woven into every phase of the project from exploration to closure and rehabilitation.
