From Survey to Insight

1 - Sensor

With Network Surveyor there are multiple options for collecting 3D lidar data depending upon the size of your service area. These options range from UAV Lidar sensors for small territories or organizations with mature UAV operations, small Helicopter solutions to mid-sized territories, and large Helicopter or Fixed-Wing solutions for large territories. The solutions can be customized with multiple high resolution cameras to simultaneously capture inspection imagery.

2 - Acquisition

Network Surveyor’s lidar and camera sensors deliver efficient data acquisition with full density accurate georeferenced point clouds and camera imagery generated in real-time onboard the aircraft. With Onboard operator interface data is quality controlled in real-time to ensure acquisition meets requirements allowing in-flight reflight if necessary.

3 - Insight

Immediately after acquisition inflight generated lidar point clouds are available for ingest to analytics platforms for automatic creation of the network digital twin to generate risk metrics across multiple use cases in a fraction of the time of traditional workflows. The digital twin coupled with auto classification of the lidar data and utility GIS data is the basis to produce customizable vegetation encroachment reports, identification of strike trees, asset inspection, GIS pole conflation vectors, conductor clearance analysis, pole loading inputs and more. Generate insight that is consumable by end users at infinite scale.

To address the utility market, Teledyne Geospatial designed three core workflow elements to deliver actionable data in real time. Discover what's inside here.

Industry leading lidar

Industry leading lidar

The Galaxy Edge is an industry-leading airborne lidar boasting a 2MHz pulse rate making high resolution mapping of utility assets fast and cost effective. The compact size of the Galaxy offers unmatched versatility and is compatible with both airplane and helicopter platforms making any project achievable regardless of specification.

The latest release of Galaxy is the 7th generation sensor. Providing tailored enhancements for small object detection, it is the core of Network Surveyor. Building on the foundational technology of T2000, performance improvements include:

  • high resolution data via enhanced scan rate,
  • parallel scan lines for homogenous point density, and
  • optimized laser and detector settings tuned for wires and small object identification.

Galaxy Onboard

Galaxy Onboard

Galaxy Onboard is a groundbreaking industry first; REAL TIME processing and quality control edge processing solution that operates from the aircraft during data collection. Data is processed and analyzed in real time ensuring all required data is captured successfully. Combined with real-time trajectory corrections applied in the air, the point cloud accuracy achieved in the air produces sub 15cm absolute accuracy of that data on landing. 

High accuracy point clouds produced in real-time can immediately be imported into leading digital-twin platforms for analytics upon landing of the aircraft. True rapid-reporting and response with Teledyne Utility solutions.
