FAQ

LiDAR FAQ

What is LiDAR?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to capture 3D mapping data. In Malaysia, LiDAR is widely used for topographic surveys, infrastructure planning, flood risk analysis, and forest monitoring.

How much does a LiDAR survey cost in Malaysia?

The cost of a LiDAR survey in Malaysia depends on project size, location accessibility, and data requirements (e.g., aerial or drone-based). Contact us for a customized quote based on your LiDAR mapping needs.

Is drone-based LiDAR legal and safe to use in Malaysia?

Yes, our drone LiDAR operations are fully compliant with Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM) regulations. Safety and legal compliance are a top priority in all our geospatial data acquisition services.

What output formats can I expect from a LiDAR survey?

We deliver LiDAR data in industry-standard formats such as LAS/LAZ point clouds, DEM (Digital Elevation Models), DTM (Terrain Models), orthophotos, and contour maps, compatible with most GIS platforms.

Where is LiDAR technology commonly used in Malaysia?

LiDAR is used across various sectors in Malaysia, including:

1. Oil & Gas (pipeline corridor mapping)
2. Mining & Quarry (volume analysis)
3. Utilities (powerline inspection)
4. Forestry & Plantation (canopy height)
5. Environmental & Coastal Studies (floodplain mapping)

Advantages of using LiDAR drones over traditional survey

LiDAR drones offer faster data collection, high-resolution 3D point clouds, and minimal ground disturbance—making them ideal for mapping remote or difficult terrain in Malaysia compared to conventional survey techniques.

How long does a LiDAR mapping project take in Malaysia?

Depending on project scale, most LiDAR mapping projects in Malaysia can be completed within a few days to a few weeks—including planning, data acquisition, processing, and final deliverables.

Can LiDAR penetrate forest canopy & vegetation in Malaysia?

Yes. One of LiDAR’s key benefits is its ability to penetrate dense vegetation, making it ideal for terrain mapping in tropical forest areas like those in Malaysia. This enables accurate ground elevation modeling beneath tree cover.

Do your LiDAR services comply with industry standards in Malaysia?

Yes. At Geotechnica, all LiDAR services in Malaysia comply with national geospatial and engineering standards. Our team includes certified surveyors and geospatial engineers using industry-approved equipment and software.
