The United States is home to a diverse range of landscapes, from sprawling cities to rugged mountains, vast plains, and stunning coastlines. This variety makes it an ideal location for collecting point cloud data, which captures the intricate details of terrain and structures. Point clouds are 3D representations made from laser scanning or photogrammetry and are widely used in industries such as construction, surveying, architecture, and environmental monitoring.

This page features high-quality point cloud data available for purchase. Whether you are looking for 3D models of urban areas, detailed scans of natural features, or data for architectural projects, you can find a range of point cloud content here. Our point clouds are collected by certified drone pilots using advanced technology, ensuring accuracy and detail in every scan.

What are Point Clouds?

Point clouds are collections of data points in a three-dimensional coordinate system. Each point represents a specific location in space and collectively forms a geometric representation of the scanned object or environment. They are created using either LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology or photogrammetry techniques.

Applications of Point Clouds

Point clouds have numerous applications across various industries:

• Architecture and Construction: Point clouds are used for creating accurate 3D models of existing structures, which aids in renovation and construction planning.
• Surveying: Surveyors utilize point clouds for land assessment, topographical mapping, and site analysis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Researchers can monitor changes in landscapes, such as erosion or habitat changes, using point cloud data.
• Virtual Reality: Point clouds can be transformed into immersive environments for training, simulations, and virtual tours.
