Albireo’s another development in Data Acquisition methodologies is Airborne Laser Terrain Mapping (ALTM) or Light Detection & Ranging (LiDAR) Mapping. Airborne LiDAR is a well proven technology for providing accurate elevation models.

LiDAR technology plays a crucial role in the development of high-resolution topographic maps and digital terrain models. LiDAR data processing provides a unique challenge in the identification, delineation and removal of cultural and vegetation surface features, for the purposes of generating highly accurate bare earth digital terrain surfaces.
