Rim Side // LiDAR Topo SurveySUMMARY: A high resolution topographic survey of Rim Side, a 132 acre lot split survey to support development planning. This project required the use of LiDAR to penetrate through a dense forest canopy to create accurate topo products. SITE and OBJECTIVE: Rim Side is a 132 acre parcel in Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ. This site is on the Mogollon Rim, and provides panoramic views of the surrounding area from the top of the rim. Objectives for this project were to capture RGB imagery and LiDAR data to produce an orthomosiac image, Mass Points and Break Lines, so Infinity Land Surveying, could create a design ready surface. WORKFLOW: Infinity Land Surveying, set 11 Ground Control Points (GCPs) throughout the Area Of Interest (AOI). The AOI was then flown with a LiDAR and RGB camera sensor. LiDAR data was georeferenced, and a ground extraction…
Lake Elaine // Photogrammetry Topo SurveySUMMARY: A high-resolution topographic survey of Lake Elaine conducted via drone photogrammetry to support site development planning. The project required low-altitude flights in controlled airspace over a sensitive residential area and precise data processing to generate CAD-ready deliverables. SITE and OBJECTIVE: Lake Elaine is a 65 acre site in Southeast Flagstaff, AZ. The site features a drained lake that is surrounded by multiple residential structures in a ponderosa pine tree forest. Objectives for this project were to capture aerial imagery to create an orthomosaic image, and produce mass points and break lines so that the client, Ardurra, a surveying and engineering firm) could produce a topographic surface for further engineering design work. WORKFLOW: The surveyor set 10 Ground Control Points (GCPs) throughout the Area of Interest (AOI). The AOI was then flown and Structure from Motion (SfM) processing was used…
Patagonia: They / ThemFor Lor Sabourin, climbing is more than a sport; it’s a way of exploring identity and building resilience in the face of adversity. They/Them follows Lor, a trans climber, into the sandstone canyons of Northern Arizona, on a journey to piece together one of the hardest and most inspiring routes of their life. By embracing the strength in vulnerability, Lor has found the space to thrive and build a climbing community that others like themself can call home. Lightforce Media had the opportunity to contribute all of the aerial imagery for this film.…
