Rock Robotics Presents: Rock Surveyor – Precision Ground Topography Solutions
Rock Robotics introduces the Rock Surveyor deliverable, offering a comprehensive understanding of ground topography through the generation of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Contours. These deliverables are crucial for various applications, including land development, engineering, and environmental studies.
Ground Classification: The Foundation of Accurate Deliverables
The initial step in creating precise deliverables involves classifying the ground using the Rock Cloud AI Engine. The ground classification options available include:
- Ground Only
- Enhanced Classification – Ground, Buildings, and High Vegetation
- Enhanced Classification Plus – Ground, Buildings, Vegetation, Roads, Water, Bridges, and Transmission
The classification process facilitates the detection and removal of non-ground objects, such as buildings, vegetation, and other obstacles, ensuring the accuracy of the final deliverables. Rock Cloud provides the flexibility to accommodate custom LiDAR classification schemes, recognizing that not all organizations follow the ASPRS classification scheme. Industries such as autonomous vehicle companies, utility companies, and other organizations with unique classification schemes can benefit from this feature.
Generating DEM and Contours
Once the ground has been accurately determined, a DEM and contours can be generated. Contour lines are delivered in popular formats, including SHP, DXF, and CSV, making it easy to import them into any CAD or GIS software package. Moreover, users can view the contours directly on the Rock Cloud platform.
Enhancing Contour Accuracy: Breaklines and Strip Alignment Add-ons
To improve contour accuracy, add-ons such as Breaklines and Strip Alignment are available. Breaklines add supplemental elevation data to contour lines, ensuring greater accuracy in areas with significant elevation changes. Strip Alignment enhances point cloud accuracy by aligning multiple passes over a strip of land.
Rock Surveyor Deliverables
The deliverables provided by Rock Surveyor include a ground classified laz file, SHP file containing geometry data, DBF attribute format file, SHX shape index file, and a DEM in TIF format. Additionally, an accuracy report is included, offering detailed information about the accuracy and quality of the deliverables. Example of the Accuracy Report.
Conclusion: Rock Surveyor – An Essential Topography Tool
In summary, Rock Surveyor equips users with accurate and detailed ground topography information, making it an indispensable tool for a wide range of applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aerial lidar is commonly used in the construction industry for tasks such as creating digital terrain models, measuring volumes of stockpiles and cut/fill areas, and identifying potential issues with a construction site before work begins.
Aerial lidar (light detection and ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses laser technology to measure the distance to a target. It differs from other forms of remote sensing such as photogrammetry and radar in that it can collect high-resolution, precise 3D data in a relatively short amount of time.
Aerial lidar measurements can be extremely accurate, with typical horizontal and vertical accuracy levels of less than 10 cm. The level of accuracy is dependent on factors such as the density of the point cloud data collected and the quality of the sensor used.
Orthomosaic is a type of mosaic that has been geometrically corrected to minimize distortion and ensure that each pixel represents the same ground area throughout the image. A regular mosaic is a composite image made up of several overlapping images, but it does not have the same geometric correction.
Orthomosaics can be used in construction for tasks such as creating accurate maps, measuring distances and areas, and identifying potential issues with a construction site. They can also be used to monitor progress on a construction site over time.
To ensure that data obtained from aerial lidar and orthomosaics is accurate, it is important to use high-quality sensors and to properly process the data using specialized software. Additionally, ground control points can be used to accurately align the data with known coordinates.
