LIDAR Analyst

LIDAR Analyst^® is a 3D feature extraction solution for airborne LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging or Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging) data, supporting Homeland Security, Defense and Intelligence, Forestry, and other vertical markets requiring high-resolution terrain information.

Through the power of automation, the software radically simplifies the process of extracting 3D features: bare earth surfaces, buildings, and trees. LIDAR Analyst provides tools for accelerated feature extraction (AFE), DEM editing, hill shading and relief, building squaring, and data attribution for buildings, tree points, and forest polygons.

LIDAR data is unique in that it reveals variations in elevation. Because of this, the innovative LIDAR Analyst software is able to extract and attribute 3D features at the same time. LIDAR Analyst, the original solution for LIDAR data processing, is the only commercially-available software of its kind.
