Deliverables · 12 output types

From one captured cloud, every engineering output.

A single LiDAR capture supplies a remarkable range of downstream deliverables — geometry, surfaces, vectors, models, reports and time-series products. The explorer below walks through what each is, what it's for, and which industries use it most.

Classified point cloud

The base output of every LiDAR capture. Millions of geo-referenced 3D points classified by category (ground, vegetation, structure, water, noise) and packaged for direct ingestion into every downstream tool.

Engineering purpose

The single source of truth. Every other deliverable on this list is derived from this cloud — so getting it classified correctly, validated to control, and packaged in the right format is the first thing to get right.

How deliverables stack

The deliverable chain isn't a menu — it's a pipeline.

Each output is derived from the one before it, with the classified point cloud at the base. Knowing the chain helps you scope a capture for the deliverable you actually need without paying for everything upstream of it.

  1. Step 01
    Capture & classify
    • · Raw point cloud
    • · Classification

    Multi-return capture, geo-referenced to control, classified by ground / structure / vegetation / noise.

  2. Step 02
    Surfaces
    • · DTM
    • · DSM

    Bare-earth and surface-of-things rasters / TINs / LandXML — the layers most engineering tools consume.

  3. Step 03
    Vectors & models
    • · Contours
    • · CAD linework
    • · Sections
    • · BIM

    Extracted vector features for design, drafting and digital-twin workflows.

  4. Step 04
    Analysis & reports
    • · Cut/fill
    • · Change detection
    • · GIS layers

    Period-on-period analytics, asset registers, signed engineering reports.
