Client Overview

For more than 12 years, InfoTech has partnered with one of Germany's leading surveying and geospatial companies, supporting its large-scale LiDAR classification requirements across Europe.

The client has a strong presence in the European geospatial market, delivering surveying and mapping solutions for road navigation, forestry, coastal bathymetry, and national infrastructure mapping.

The Challenge

The client manages some of the most demanding LiDAR projects in Europe, requiring advanced point cloud classification across highly diverse landscapes and industries.

Project requirements included handling high-density airborne LiDAR datasets, complex urban environments, dense forested regions, and bathymetric surveys. The client needed a partner capable of adapting to evolving specifications while maintaining strict German national standards.

InfoTech's Solution

InfoTech established a dedicated LiDAR production team to support the client's portfolio. The scope of work covered advanced point cloud classifications:

Classification Scope
  • Ground Classification: Detailed bare-earth generation across mountain terrains and flat plains.
  • Vegetation Classification: Separation of low, medium, and high vegetation.
  • Building Classification: Precise roof structure and building edge identification.
  • Transportation & Corridor Features: Road surfaces, railway tracks, and utility corridors.
  • Powerline Features: Transmission towers, conductors, and corridor assets.
  • Bathymetric LiDAR: Classification of seafloor, water surfaces, and coastal structures.

Results & Impact

Our long-term collaboration has enabled the client to significantly expand its processing capabilities and deliver complex municipal mapping programs.
