Restricted, a leading Indian expert in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has formed a strategic partnership with a global industry leader in inertial sensors and GPS technologies. The integration of Inertial Labs’ RESEPI LiDAR technology with ideaForge’s high-performance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) marks a major breakthrough in LiDAR mapping capabilities for drones.
What’s Driving the Desire for Accurate Aerial Data?
The growing demand for precise aerial data collections and three-dimensional mapping solutions spans multiple industries, including surveying, mapping, mining, construction, forestry, energy infrastructure inspection, and search and rescue operations. The partnership aims to meet these needs by providing superior accuracy and reliability in data collection.
Indian landscapes hold significant promise for diverse applications with LiDAR expertise. IdeaForge and Inertial Labs aim to provide tailored solutions for the industries of mining, forestry, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), land surveys, and water resources management. By seamlessly integrating Inertial Labs’ precise LiDAR payloads with ideaForge’s cutting-edge NETRA/Q6 unmanned aerial vehicles, we can confidently promise swift and efficient delivery of exceptionally accurate aerial data.
Advantages of the Partnership
Ezhiilan Nanmaran, head of product and strategic partnerships at ideaForge Know-how Limited, observed that the company’s partnership with Inertial Labs marks a major milestone in advancing their UAV-based LiDAR mapping capacities. This breakthrough enables unprecedented accuracy and efficiency in data collection, transforming the landscape of mapping applications across agriculture, infrastructure, and environmental surveillance. “We’re deeply committed to driving innovative advancements and delivering cutting-edge solutions to our clients, thereby expanding the frontiers of UAV-based LiDAR expertise.”
The diverse range of expertise guarantees that clients receive highly accurate and reliable information for mapping and surveying requirements. The Resepi LiDAR system, integrated into ideaForge’s NETRA/Q6 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ensures exceptional precision and high-density data collection at optimal flight heights. This underscores its significance for a multitude of purposes, akin to:
- Accurate stockpile quantity calculations, comprehensive slope stability evaluations, and meticulous environmental impact assessments.
- High-resolution density mapping achieved through prolonged flight durations and a lightweight, aerodynamic design.
- Clouds of excessive density obscure precision, rendering minute details imperceptible; meanwhile, power lines crisscross transmission towers.
