Digital models
Advanced territory mapping
In the field of surveying and spatial analysis, DTM and DSM represent fundamental tools for obtaining an accurate three-dimensional representation of reality. Using both photogrammetric and LiDAR surveys, highly reliable 3D models can be produced through the use of machine learning libraries, adaptable to any design or environmental requirement.
Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
It represents the bare ground surface, devoid of natural and man-made elements such as vegetation, buildings or infrastructure.
Hydrogeological analyses and modelling of flood areas
Study of instability and landslides
Calculation of volumes and slopes
Environmental and agricultural planning
Design of infrastructure and civil works
Digital Surface Model (DSM)
It represents the earth’s surface including all objects present, such as buildings, trees, bridges and other structures.
Urban and architectural modelling
Analysis of shading and visibility
Electromagnetic propagation simulations (e.g. 5G networks, wireless)
Studies on the interaction between vegetation and the urban environment
Creation of digital twins and smart city applications
Sensing technologies
Combined 3D reconstruction methodologies
Aerial photogrammetry
Acquisition of superimposed images from aircraft and three-dimensional terrain reconstruction using stereoscopic image correlation techniques.
LiDAR sensors
Generation of very high-density point clouds, from which it is possible to precisely and accurately determine the terrain by distinguishing it from surface objects, to obtain accurate DTMs even in complex forested or urban areas.
Applications
Environment and land management
Detailed analyses of hydrogeological risk and watercourses, mapping of flood areas and hydraulic modelling, seabed survey, monitoring of landslides and unstable slopes, also in densely vegetated areas.
Urban planning
3D modelling of cities, analysis of land use and building density, architectural simulation, study of sun exposure and urban microclimate, monitoring of green areas, creation of digital twins and integration with IoT systems for real-time control.
Forestry
Forest cover mapping and biomass estimation, monitoring deforestation and ecosystem health, forest inventories, sustainable management and reforestation planning, forest structure analysis and fire prevention.
Logistics and transport
Road, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure planning, visibility and obstacle analysis for road safety, corridor surveys for highways, railways, pipelines, power lines.
Construction and Infrastructure
Accurate and analytical modelling of existing infrastructures (roads, bridges, railways), structural deformation detection and maintenance support with drones, design support and verification of power grids and utilities.
Telecommunications
Monitoring of vegetation interference on infrastructure, support for planning and optimisation of networks (fibre optics, 5G, wireless), support for deployment of smart infrastructure for smart cities.
