LiDAR Data Analysis and Visualization Online

GISCARTA is web-based LiDAR GIS software for teams that need to see, analyze and share LiDAR results without desktop tools. Upload LiDAR-derived elevation models, point clouds and building heights, explore them in 3D in the browser, and send one link to engineers, planners and clients.

LiDAR analysis problems we solve

LiDAR projects produce heavy files that need desktop software and expert skills to open. Stakeholders get screenshots and PDFs, can’t check a height or a clearance themselves, and every new question goes back to the GIS team. GISCARTA publishes processed LiDAR data as a live online workspace, next to your assets, base layers and dashboards.

How to get started with LiDAR in GISCARTA

Create a project and define the survey area

Step 1

Upload processed LiDAR outputs and context layers

Step 2

Set up 3D views and a dashboard with key metrics

Step 3

Share, review and iterate with your team and clients

Step 4

Why teams choose GISCARTA for LiDAR

Engineering, utility, forestry and planning teams use GISCARTA to put LiDAR results in front of everyone who needs them. They send fewer repeat requests to GIS specialists and show clear evidence to clients and regulators. No desktop licences for viewers, unlimited users, and on-premise deployment when survey data must stay on your servers.

FAQ

What is LiDAR data used for in GIS?

LiDAR data is used in GIS to model terrain, measure building and tree heights, and map vegetation, flood risk and infrastructure in 3D. Planners, utilities, foresters and engineers rely on it because it is far more accurate than satellite elevation data.
