DATA PROCESSING SERVICE
When you need to leverage professional data analysts to get the job done right.

Raw Calibrated Point Cloud
A raw geo-corrected point cloud is the base product LiDAR equipment produces. However starting out, you may want to make sure you have a team of data analysts behind you to ensure you can wow your customer. Perfect when you are trying to do big jobs or your company is new to LiDAR.

Point Cloud Classification
Classification assigns points into groups with useful and logical categories, such as points on a road surface, building roofs, trees, etc. Without the proper training, experience, and software renters can spend hours of tedious work trying to isolate the data of interest.
MODUS has your US team to make sure you can deliver downstream data products to support your customer.

Colorized Point Cloud
Need RGB LiDAR data. No problem. Let our professionals take your imagery and lidar data and fuse them to create a 3D colorized image. This would provide your customer all the color they see from photogrammetry with all the accuracy and under vegetation coverage of lidar.

F.A.Q.
What does the training consist of and is it web based?
The training is standard industry practice OEM. Many customers are familiar with drones and photogrammetry but not LiDAR; flying LiDAR collections is different as it is an active sensor. Modus AI wants to ensure that you are successful in field operations, as well as understanding and being able to do the six-step workflow, resulting in a geocalibrated raw point cloud.
We also use this time to assess the client’s flying proficiency. A drone is only $5000 but the sensors run in excess of $50,000. This is why we certify/qualify every operator.
Are shipping days part of the rental?

Why do we require training?
We want you to succeed. Even if you have used other LiDAR systems before, every manufacturer does their process a bit different. We know, we have worked with a lot of them.
Also, this creates a safe environment to learn and experiment. The last thing you want is your team learning this for the first time on a job site. You will lose money.
