LiDAR & Point Clouds

LiDAR Processing with Custom Tools

LiDAR processing pipelines built with custom Python and GDAL tools—classification, DEM generation, feature extraction, and QA—for aerial and mobile point clouds at scale.

GIS Consulting Overview

MapMatics builds LiDAR processing workflows with custom tools—not one-size-fits-all desktop scripts. Our engineers develop Python and PDAL pipelines for point cloud classification, ground filtering, DEM/DSM generation, building and corridor feature extraction, and automated QA reporting. We integrate outputs into PostGIS databases and publish to GeoServer or cloud storage so downstream GIS and engineering teams work from trusted, repeatable results. Pipelines are documented, version-controlled, and tuned to your sensor mix (aerial, mobile, UAV) and accuracy requirements.

Service Deliverables

  • Custom PDAL and Python pipelines for classification and extraction
  • Automated QA reports and lineage for audit-ready deliverables
  • PostGIS-ready outputs for maps, analysis, and engineering workflows
