The case study covers:
- How LiDAR surveys are ideal for spotting potential weaknesses in bridges
- The challenges involved in recreating an accurate 3D model of the bridge
- Details of the survey solution, which was composed of a DZX8 heavy-lift drone, a Velodyne VLP-16 LiDAR scanner, and the xNAV650 INS
- The importance of calibrating the system
