At QCoherent we use our extensive experience with LIDAR to focus on specific functionality that enables users to maximize LAS LIDAR point clouds. We believe that LIDAR has significant and often untapped value. We focus on integrating LIDAR into workflows that already provide substantial value but lack sufficient architecture and/or specialized functionality for maximizing LIDAR investments. Our customers include all aspects of LIDAR users including commercial LIDAR data collection and processing providers, federal agencies, state government, local government, environmental and civil engineering firms, consulting firms, research facilities...in short, groups like yours who desire an easy and effective way to use LIDAR.
