Mobile, Alabama Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Q-Risq Analytics, LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for Mobile, Alabama; for their invention titled “LIDAR data and structural modeling based elevation determination.”
This system combines LIDAR data with structural modeling to determine elevation values for physical structures. By generating multi-dimensional models from photographic data, the technology accounts for parts of structures that obstruct LIDAR signals, leading to more accurate elevation assessments.
The patented method enhances the precision of elevation data, which is vital for floodplain mapping and disaster preparedness. By integrating this technology, stakeholders can better assess risks and allocate resources effectively. The innovation also streamlines the process of obtaining elevation certificates, reducing time and costs associated with traditional surveying methods.
Q-Risq Analytics’ advancement in elevation determination represents a significant leap in geospatial analysis. By addressing the limitations of conventional LIDAR-based assessments, this technology provides a more reliable foundation for critical decision-making in environmental planning and emergency response.
