Overhead sign information can be identified and extracted from LIDAR data using Mandli’s post-processing software. This information can be used to create a custom sign database, and can be synchronized with imaging and positional data for a comprehensive data set. Attributes such as size, type, and mount type can be easily identified using the LIDAR data attributes. Location and legend information are also available with the full data set. Clearance information is yet another valuable measurement which can be produced by analyzing the LIDAR data.
