Terra Drone Inc. has begun providing measurement services using the latest green laser “YellowScan Navigator” with high-performance bathymetry capabilities. This allows for efficient and safe acquisition of data on topographical surveys of deeper water areas such as rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Terra Drone will promote the use of this technology in areas such as disaster prevention, infrastructure development, and environmental surveys.
In recent years, there has been a demand for more detailed data on water depth and changes in topography in topographical surveys of rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. However, conventional surveying methods that do not use drones require people to enter the water or launch boats, and there are issues with efficiency and safety. In recent years, the use of drones has become widespread, and their convenience in the surveying field has attracted attention. In this context, drone-mounted green lasers have been attracting attention.
Green lasers have the property that light can refract even underwater, allowing them to efficiently survey shallow underwater topography and wetlands. In addition, detailed topographical data can be obtained by utilizing 3D data. In fact, surveying projects using green lasers are on the rise, and according to an analysis of public bidding data, they are expected to increase by approximately 3.4 times from fiscal 2022 to fiscal 2023, highlighting the spread of the technology in the market and the growing demand.
