From both datasets a very accurate digital elevation model (DEM) can be derived. This laser-DEM can also be filtered and used for a variety of GIS-applications like flood plane modelling, determining the height of power lines, water management such as hydrological and drainage studies and for 3D city models.

Aerodata can execute LiDAR (laser scanning) missions in combination with a digital photo camera, in which case flying is restricted to day-time missions.
When only flying the LiDAR system, missions can be flown during night-time thus making use of an extended time-window with most stable atmospheric conditions
