This is a point cloud. A collection of millions of precise data points captured from aerial imagery. Each point has a real-world position, which means this isn’t just visual, it is interactive. You can measure distances, check elevations, and analyze the site with survey-grade accuracy directly. From this, we can generate a 3D model for visualization, but the point cloud is the raw data that makes everything measurable and usable.

This isn’t just a flythrough. It’s site intelligence.
By mapping the 11th Street corridor here in Austin with elevation heat maps and contours, project teams get real data to guide grading, drainage, and design decisions early in development stage when it matters most.
