Photogrammetry vs LiDAR
Choose the Right Mapping Method
Alektra Mapping offers both photogrammetry-based and LiDAR-based mapping depending on project objective, accuracy requirement, surface condition, budget, and deliverable type.
Photogrammetry-Based Mapping
Photogrammetry uses overlapping high-resolution images captured from drones or cameras and processes them through specialized software to create orthomosaics, textured 3D models, 3D mesh, and visual site documentation.
- Best for color-rich 3D models, orthomosaic maps, rooftop and site visualization, construction progress, heritage documentation, solar PV and industrial asset visual inspection.
- Benefits include rich color and texture, cost-effective documentation, strong presentation value, and easier visual interpretation.
- Limitations include dependency on lighting, image quality, shadows, reflective surfaces, weather, and featureless surfaces.
LiDAR-Based Mapping
LiDAR uses laser pulses to measure distances and generate dense 3D point clouds and elevation datasets. It is useful where geometry, elevation, vegetation penetration, and high-precision spatial measurement are more important than visual texture alone.
- Best for power line and corridor mapping, terrain/elevation mapping, vegetation and clearance analysis, complex infrastructure, and utility corridors.
- Benefits include strong geometric accuracy, better low-light operation, dense point clouds, and engineering-grade spatial analysis where required.
- Limitations include higher cost, specialized equipment, and additional processing for color or texture.
Photogrammetry and LiDAR are not competing technologies. For some projects, combining both can provide precise geometry and rich visual texture.

FAQ
Mapping service questions
Useful details before requesting drone mapping, LiDAR or digital twin documentation.
What is drone mapping?
Drone mapping captures aerial imagery or LiDAR data and processes it into maps, models, point clouds, datasets and visual documentation.
What is the difference between photogrammetry and LiDAR?
Photogrammetry builds maps and 3D models from overlapping images. LiDAR uses laser measurements to create dense point clouds and stronger geometry/elevation datasets.
Which mapping method should I choose?
It depends on the project objective, accuracy requirement, site condition, budget and deliverables. Alektra can recommend photogrammetry, LiDAR or a hybrid approach.
Can you map solar PV plants and rooftops?
Yes. Solar PV plants, industrial rooftops and commercial rooftops are key mapping applications.
Can you map power lines or utility corridors?
Yes. Corridor and utility mapping can support visualization, documentation and clearance-focused review.
Can you create 3D models or digital twins?
Yes. Deliverables can include textured 3D models, digital twin references, asset maps and inspection-ready visual datasets.
Do you provide mapping for heritage or architectural documentation?
Yes. Photogrammetry is especially useful for heritage, architectural and structure documentation where visual texture matters.
What deliverables will I receive?
Deliverables depend on scope and may include orthomosaic maps, 3D models, point clouds, reports, digital twin references and downloadable datasets.
Is LiDAR always necessary?
No. Photogrammetry is often sufficient for visual mapping. LiDAR is selected when geometry, elevation or vegetation-related requirements justify it.
Do you provide custom mapping reports?
Yes. Reporting can be tailored to project objective, inspection use, asset documentation or management needs.
