Glaciers and Avalanche Monitoring
The RIEGL VZ Terrestrial Laser Scanners having a cutting-edge 3D LiDAR Scanning Technology. Our 3D Scanners fires rapid pulses of laser light at a surface up to 5,00,000 pulses per second and a sensor on the scanner measures the amount of time it takes for each pulse to bounce back. By repeating this process repeatedly very fast, the Scanner builds up a realistic 3-D scenery called as “point cloud” of an area of interest.
Our Laser Scanning solutions based on RIEGL 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanner are being used for various Landslide Monitoring applications such as:
- Generating 3D Digital Terrain Model (DTM).
- Glacier and Snow field mapping.
- Change/movement detection in snow bound area for monitoring Avalanches
- Volume of snow displaced due to avalanche.
- Volume and snow level changes calculation before and after Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF)
- Georeferencing of any area under observation.
- Calculating area, distance, angle, and ‘elevation difference’ between any two points in an area of interest.
- Generating cross-sections and contours of an area of interest.
