From Point Cloud to CAD & GIS Deliverables in Minutes
Transform your LiDAR point clouds into professional DTMs, contour lines, slope maps, and vector exports in DXF, SHP, and GeoJSON. No desktop software required.
Why LiDAR Processing Slows Down Your Projects
Traditional Tools
Expensive software licenses, hours of manual classification, and a steep learning curve. You need a DTM by Friday, but you’re still figuring out ground classification parameters. Desktop solutions like TerraScan require training, maintenance, and workstation-class hardware.
Lidarvisor AI
Upload your point cloud, get classified terrain data automatically. No parameter tuning, no desktop installation. Your CAD technician gets DXF files, your GIS analyst gets Shapefiles, and your web team gets GeoJSON — all while the coffee is still hot.
TERRAIN MODELS

Frequently Asked Questions
Upload your point clouds in LAS or LAZ format (compressed LAS). These are the industry-standard formats for LiDAR data. Export your results as LAS, DTM/DSM rasters (GeoTIFF), or vector contours in DXF (for CAD software like AutoCAD and Civil 3D), Shapefile (for GIS platforms like ArcGIS and QGIS), and GeoJSON (for web mapping and modern workflows).
Choose based on your workflow:
- DXF — Best for CAD users. Opens directly in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, and similar software.
- Shapefile (SHP) — Best for GIS professionals. Works with ArcGIS, QGIS, and enterprise GIS systems with full attribute support.
- GeoJSON — Best for web developers and modern workflows. Use with Mapbox, Leaflet, Google Maps, and web-based collaboration tools.
You can download all three formats from the same processed dataset — no need to reprocess.
Lidarvisor extracts 7 types of vector outputs from your point cloud:
- Contour lines — With customizable intervals (0.1m, 0.5m, 1m, etc.)
- Building footprints — Orthogonalized polygons with clean right angles
- Tree crowns & tree tops — Crown polygons and tree top point detection
- Power lines — 3D cable vectorization with sag modeling
- Towers — Transmission tower locations and footprints
- Roads — Centerlines and edge extraction
- Gridded DTM — Regular grid points for direct CAD import
All vectors export to DXF, Shapefile, or GeoJSON.
Lidarvisor uses deep learning models trained on diverse aerial LiDAR datasets. Our classification achieves high accuracy across terrain types, from flat urban areas to steep forested slopes. The AI handles edge cases that trip up rule-based systems, delivering reliable results on the first try without manual adjustment.
Yes. When generating contour lines, you can specify your desired contour interval (e.g., 0.5m, 1m, 5m). The contours are generated directly from your terrain model and exported in your choice of DXF, Shapefile, or GeoJSON.
Processing time depends on file size and point density, but most datasets are classified within 5-15 minutes. Large projects may take longer. You’ll receive an email notification when processing is complete.
No. Lidarvisor is 100% web-based. Just open your browser, upload your file, and start processing. No plugins, no installations, no configuration. Works on any modern browser.
