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


It's good to hear that Nigeria will soon have a lidar map and I am sure it will help for the development in their country. If I am not mistaken, lidar technology really help big in the development of the world. One of the best invention of human for sure. <a href="http://lidarservices.com/lidarmapping.html ">Lothar Nico</a> - 17/11/2009 - 09:05


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.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
