Lidar or near-IR imaging?

[TrpnBils]

Anyone know of any place online to find Lidar or near-infrared images? I have found a few but they are all from real high altitude and you can't get any detail out of it. From what I have seen I think these could be useful in research!

Have a friend that hired a company to do Lidar over his claim. It did a great job showing the ground contours without the trees in the way. ...Pretty sure that was Lidar, but maybe something else. Can't get on the site right now to check.

LiDAR will produce a bare earth image.

The resolution can get all the way down to a few centimeters. Most is shot at sub-meter resolution.

It's expensive. You won't find very much on line for free.

This is the thread I was talking about. He removed the images for security reasons,, but the text helps get his first-hand views of the technology:

That's sort of what I figured. The near-IR is what I'm more interested in, although I'm not finding much in the way of that either. It mostly appears to be coming from vegetation surveys but it's all real low resolution. I know it can get to be very high resolution, but that's for "real" researchers and universities, etc.

The resolution you are asking for is available, but very expensive.

The systems are upwards of 1.5 mil. When a company pays for it, they keep it close.

At that price, does that include the cost of the plane?? Makes me wish I was still an aviation buff!

A person can get IR cameras, and can even get a drone or RC aircraft to fly over most unpopulated or sparsely-populated areas.

The airplane is usually a lot less than the technology.

They have handheld units, civilian UAS stuff, and like what the fire department uses, much cheaper. But, you get what you pay for.

It depends on the users application and accuracy requirements.
