Photogrammetry vs LiDAR: Choosing the Right Technology

Both photogrammetry and LiDAR are powerful technologies, but choosing the right one depends on your specific project requirements.

Photogrammetry

Best for visual mapping, 3D modeling, and projects requiring high-resolution imagery. More cost-effective for large areas.

LiDAR

Ideal for penetrating vegetation, accurate ground surface mapping, and projects in dense forest areas. Higher cost but superior ground accuracy.

When to Use Both

For critical mining and infrastructure projects, combining both technologies provides the most comprehensive dataset.
