LiDAR Done Right: Clean Point Clouds Start with Mission Planning
March 5, 2026

Most drone software gives you an area scan and calls it a LiDAR workflow. No IMU calibration logic. No sensor-aware turn control. No terrain following tuned for low-altitude passes. You find out what went wrong when you’re processing data back at the office.

UgCS has a dedicated LiDAR toolset. Built for how LiDAR sensors actually work, not adapted from a photogrammetry planner.

We’ll show you the full workflow live. IMU calibration pattern generation, LiDAR Area and Corridor tools, terrain following with imported DTM/DSM down to 8m AGL, and how it works across DJI Zenmuse L2, YellowScan, Rock Robotic, and other third-party sensors. No slides. Actual mission planning on screen.
