Lidarvisor

Lidarvisor is a cloud-based software platform for processing aerial LiDAR point cloud data. It runs entirely in a web browser, requiring no desktop installation, specialized hardware, or training. The platform is designed to automate the processing side of the LiDAR workflow, which its founders saw as lagging behind the rapid improvements in capture technology. Users upload LAS or LAZ files, and the system automatically performs point cloud classification, terrain and surface modeling, and vectorization, then delivers outputs in industry-standard formats such as DXF, SHP, GeoJSON, and GeoTIFF. The company was founded by Florian Ferry, who serves as CEO. According to the official website, the motivation for building Lidarvisor was that while LiDAR capture had become cheap and accurate, turning captured data into deliverables remained slow and complex. The platform aims to make processing accessible to surveyors, drone operators, and GIS professionals, allowing them to focus on analysis rather than infrastructure. Lidarvisor offers a free tier that includes processing up to 50 hectares, with no credit card required, and positions itself as trusted by survey professionals worldwide. Key capabilities include automatic classification into standard ASPRS classes (ground, vegetation, buildings, wires, poles, water, vehicles, and more), generation of Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) in GeoTIFF format, hillshade visualization, a 3D web viewer, and automatic vectorization producing contour lines, building footprints, tree crowns, and power line features. The platform emphasizes a no-parameter-tuning workflow: users upload a file, trigger processing with one click, and download the results. Lidarvisor is a private company, and its primary market is the professional geospatial and surveying sector.

Lidarvisor was founded by Florian Ferry, who serves as CEO. The company was created to address a gap in the LiDAR workflow: while LiDAR capture technology had become affordable and accurate, the processing of captured data into usable deliverables remained slow, complex, and dependent on specialized desktop software and training. The founders saw an opportunity to make the processing side as accessible as capture had become. The platform was built as a cloud-based, browser-only solution. It requires no software installation, no specialized hardware, and no weeklong training course. The core technology includes an AI engine that automatically classifies point clouds into standard ASPRS classes (ground, vegetation, buildings, wires, poles, water, vehicles, and more), generates Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) in GeoTIFF format, and performs vectorization to produce contour lines, building footprints, tree crowns, and power line features. Outputs are delivered in industry-standard formats including DXF, SHP, GeoJSON, and GeoTIFF. Lidarvisor offers a free tier that allows users to process up to 50 hectares without a credit card. The platform is positioned for surveyors, drone operators, and GIS professionals, with the goal of letting them spend more time on analysis and less on infrastructure. The company states that its platform is trusted by survey professionals worldwide. As of the available evidence, Lidarvisor is a private company and continues to operate its cloud platform.
