With the advent of high resolution satellites, digital aerial cameras and airborne LiDAR, a range of
terrain and image data sources exist to generate the products your project requires. (LiDAR
introduction later in this document.) For ‘large’ projects, aerial survey by LIDAR or camera permits
data capture and mapping at a pace more rapid than possible using field surveyors – especially given
the current high demand on their services. Datasets derived from aerial survey assist the project,
leaving the field surveyors to work in the accessible areas undertaking the higher accuracy work.
