Dielmo 3D Launches Online Lidar Marketplace

At the European Lidar Mapping Forum held in Salzburg, Austria, on 29th November 2011, Digital terrain and remote sensing specialists Dielmo 3D, Spain, announced the launch of the Lidar-Online network, an online community for developing innovative services using Lidar data. The cloud-based network provides a collaborative online service for hosting, sharing and discovering Lidar data promoting public data access to the benefit of the Lidar community and society as a whole.  

Lidar-Online provides organisations with a central location for managing their Lidar, ortho imagery and geospatial data. It runs on Dielmo Server Technology providing web mapping services and hosts data in the Lidar-Online Shop. Lidar-Online allows users to view Lidar point clouds in 3D online with no specialised software or knowledge, create profiles of the data allowing measurement, editing, classification and downloading as LAS, CAD and GIS formats.

Organisations that own Lidar data are able to make their archived data publicly available as web-accessible services either for free or for sale, thus providing Lidar data owners with a marketplace where they can sell their data for profit and recoup costs from their Lidar investment. In addition, organisations and individuals are able to publish their geoservices for any user to be able to use it online and see how efficient it can be. This helps to promote the company's products and projects, fuelling demand for more projects to be contracted if users like the results from the geoservice online.

Users are able to stay in touch with the Lidar community and use the Lidar social network to promote their products, services and themselves for free. They are able to use and download Lidar data online and receive Lidar data in the most common GIS standard formats (las, laz, shp, dxf, kml, dgn, xyz, collada, etc.).
