Horizon GeoData provides ground-based SLAM LiDAR capture for wildfire mitigation programs, forest stewardship projects, and defensible space assessment. Under-canopy acquisition resolves the fuel conditions that aerial and drone LiDAR cannot see —ladder fuels, understory density, surface fuels, and individual stems.
Repeat capture of the same unit before and after treatment produces quantified change detection: a defensible record of what a treatment actually removed, suitable for grant reporting and funder deliverables. Datasets are tied to established survey control to ensure accurate co-registration between capture epochs.
Applications
Pre- and post-treatment fuels documentation
Ladder fuel and canopy base height assessment
Defensible space and Zone 0 parcel capture
Treatment effectiveness verification for grant reporting
Replanting and regeneration monitoring
Ground-truth validation of aerial LiDAR and fuels models
Deliverables
Classified 3D point clouds (LAS/LAZ) — ground, vegetation, structure
Fuels and stand structure metrics by treatment unit
Before/After change detection with accuracy reporting
Cross-Sections and vertical profile analysis
Rendered visualizations and fly through for partner communication
GIS-ready datasets formatted for agency workflows
Horizon Geodata delivers measurable documentation that supports treatment planning, outcome verification, and defensible reporting to funding partners.

Horizon GeoData provides survey-aligned aerial mapping and multispectral data acquisition to support precision agriculture, irrigation management, and land stewardship initiatives. Agricultural workflows are deployed as project-driven engagements and scaled according to operational demand.
Multispectral data collection is supported through integration of the Sentera 65R and Sentera 6X Thermal Pro, enabling high-resolution vegetation index analysis and field variability assessment. Standard UAV mapping services remain available for terrain modeling, irrigation infrastructure documentation, and drainage evaluation.
Applications
NDVI and vegetation index mapping

Agricultural datasets are structured for integration with farm management systems, irrigation planning tools, and GIS-based decision workflows.
“I believe effective geospatial work is defined by three principles: accuracy that can be defended, documentation that can be repeated, and deliverables that reduce uncertainty.”
