Solutions / Lidar Survey Processing
Lidar Survey Processing
Propeller’s DJI Zenmuse L1/L2 workflow brings expert support and speed to lidar surveys. With a fully integrated workflow, anyone can capture bare earth under vegetation accurately — without the hassle and expense.
Easy
We’ll process your data in the coordinate system you need, whether it’s global or local, and alert you when it’s ready.
Scalable
Survey as much as you need – no matter the size or frequency of your lidar surveys, we’ve got you covered.
Accurate
Capture bare earth under vegetation with 2/10ft accuracy using the DJI M300 or M350 drone and the Zenmuse L1/L2 sensor.
Connected
Process your photogrammetry and lidar data quickly and reliably at any volume with the help of our geospatial experts.
Your job can be tough, we can make it easier.
Expedite lidar survey processing.
Let our processing pipeline do the heavy lifting. You’ll save time, training, and infrastructure costs while delivering accurately classified ground data.
Enjoy a geospatial data hub.
A one-stop shop for your photogrammetry and lidar needs. Supporting you from bidding to progress tracking, you can map, measure, and manage your survey data with Propeller.
Bid with confidence.
Capture initial ground under vegetation before you bid on a job so you can validate the full scope and maximize profit margins.
Get data catered to your worksite, in your preferred coordinate reference system.
Choose from our database of over 5,000 published CRS, or upload a local CRS of your own. No after-the-fact transformation needed.

Dynamic Download
- Rough orthophoto (GeoTIFF, JPEG, KML, JP2, PNG)
- Outline (DXF or KML)
- Surface (DXF or TTM (usually for Stratus only))
- Point cloud (LAS, LAZ or CSV)
They are applied to the terrain, not the point cloud, and will work the same as other surveys
Yes, composite terrain models and/or orthophotos can include any dataset—lidar, photogrammetry, or preprocessed. However, we do not support point cloud composites. Point cloud and VFI are not supported.
At the moment, this is the only classification we support. If you have other classification needs, we would love to learn more. Please reach out to your CSE to drop feedback.
Yes, this is performed to ensure the most accurate point cloud and terrain data is produced.
