ICSM Level 3 LiDAR Classification Partner (Only India)

LiDAR Classification & Processing Requirement

We are seeking an experienced LiDAR processing and classification partner who can take our 30+ pts/m² airborne LiDAR data through to Australian ICSM Level 3 classification.

Our internal team is experienced in GIS projects and currently handles standard classification such as ground, vegetation, powerlines, and buildings. We are looking for a dedicated LiDAR partner who can extend this workflow to deliver the additional ICSM Level 3 feature classes, including low, medium and high vegetation, bridge decks, culverts, and other required features, for projects across energy, utilities, forestry, and government.

Scope & Data
Source data: Airborne LiDAR
Point density: 30+ pts/m²
Format: Tiled LAS/LAZ
Initial project volumes: 500 km² and 1,000 km²
Future volumes: Additional projects are expected based on successful delivery
Turnaround: ASAP, based on agreed scope, production capacity and milestones
Required Scope of Work

The selected partner will be responsible for:

Processing and classification of the supplied LiDAR data.
Classification to the required Australian ICSM Level 3 standard.
Extending the existing classification to include:
Ground
Low vegetation
Medium vegetation
High vegetation
Buildings
Powerlines
Bridge decks
Culverts
Water, roads and other applicable Level 3 feature classes
Any other classes required under the applicable ICSM Level 3 specification
Manual review and correction of classification where automated processing does not meet the required standard.
Comprehensive QA/QC of the final classified dataset.
Delivery of production-ready, fully classified LAS/LAZ files.
