Lidar Map of Nigeria

  06/07/2009
The Enugu State has awarded a contract to a South African company to conduct aerial surveys of the state which is situated in the Eastern part of Nigeria. The creation of an accurate Geographical Information System or GIS is crucial to many government programs. The purpose of the survey is to provide the local municipality with accurate maps and surveys to be used for planning, development and infrastructure maintenance.
 

 

Southern Mapping Company will be partnering with The Digital Map Company (DMCo) in Nigeria and share their knowledge, resources and expertise. SMC will be delivering a set of digital colour orthophotos, a digital elevation model (DEM) dataset and contours for the entire Enugu State. The area to by surveyed is approximately 7,681km².

<a href="http://lidarservices.com/lidarmapping.html ">Lidar Mapping</a> uses a scanning laser rangefinder mounted in a small aircraft to measure distances from the aircraft to the ground several tens of thousands of times each second. Thats how Lidar works and I salute on that. Humans are very intelligent in discovering new technologies. John Lidar - 25/11/2009 - 02:49

LiDAR technology is definitely one of the best mapping and sensing technology today. This is due to the fact that LiDAR can detect the accurate measurements of small and even distant objects.
