Mobile LiDAR systems employ vehicle-mounted lasers, cameras and GPS/INS navigation systems to capture highly detailed 1:1 scale, 3D topographic data for surveying and engineering applications. Michael Baker International became an early adopter of Mobile LiDAR technology in 2009, and expanded our capacity in 2014 and 2015 to increase our fleet to four Optech Lynx SG1 Mobile LiDAR systems.

Following up on the "Question of the Day" post, I wanted to share a video that was produced of the I-110 collection in Baton Rouge. The video was part of a presentation given earlier this week at the National States Geographic Information Council Mid-Year Conference in Annapolis, Maryland.
The collection consisted of 27 different approaches to the interchange and took about one and a half hours. The dense collection of points is commonly referred to as a Point Cloud - Wikipedia has a limited definition. The cloud shown in the video is composed of 491 million points.
