Corridor mapping

Corridor mapping is a specialised application of remote sensing and geospatial technology that focuses on surveying and mapping linear features such as rivers, coastlines, roads, highways, railways, power lines, pipelines, and other infrastructure that stretch across the landscape.

Technology captures high-quality laser data and aerial images for corridor mapping, accurately mapping linear infrastructure such as roads, pipelines, railways, and powerlines. Different platforms are used in this process — airplanes, drones and helicopters — to collect information along the infrastructure.
