Fly through a real LiDAR scan
This is the point cloud from the same Vilnius drive. Dual Hesai Pandar40P LiDAR recording while the vehicle moved at traffic speed, georeferenced to the Lithuanian national grid. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, double-click to recentre. Switch between true colour from the panoramas, the classified cloud, elevation and laser intensity.
The web cloud is subsampled so it loads in a browser tab. Deliveries are
full-density .las/.laz, and this session is 34 million points
before thinning, tiled at 250 m in LKS-94 for CAD, GIS and BIM.
How this cloud was built
Two sensors
A level Pandar40P for the full street corridor and a second tilted 10° down for the road surface itself: pavement condition, kerbs and pole bases that a level scanner skims over.
SLAM odometry
Attitude comes from LiDAR odometry rather than the satellite course, which is what keeps facades sharp and the road flat. RTK supplies position and corrects drift.
True vertical datum
Heights are LAS07 orthometric via the EGM2008 geoid, a 25.2 m separation in Vilnius that is applied, not silently skipped. Delivered Z is the height a surveyor would expect.
Classification
Multi-scale geometric features on the GPU separate ground, vegetation, buildings and poles into ASPRS classes, using both a fine scatter pass and a coarse planarity pass.
Mobile LiDAR scanning in Lithuania
AKYS provides mobile LiDAR scanning and 3D laser scanning throughout Lithuania from its base in Vilnius, and across Latvia, Estonia, Poland and the EU. A static tripod scanner has to be repositioned every few dozen metres, which turns a city street into days of work and a stack of registrations. Scanning from a moving vehicle covers tens of kilometres of street per day, in one continuous cloud, with no road closures and no traffic management.
Accuracy is ±3 cm, from RTK-GNSS combined with a six-axis IMU, and every sensor on the rig is hardware-synchronised, so the laser returns, the imagery and the position solution describe the same instant. Clouds are delivered as .las or .laz, tiled at 250 m in LKS-94 with LAS07 orthometric heights, ready for CAD, GIS and BIM.
The same drive also produces 11K 360° imagery, a measurable digital twin and an AI-generated asset inventory. Full specifications are on the LiDAR scanning page, and the wider survey is described under mobile mapping.
