LP360 Drone is desktop software for processing, analyzing, and creating deliverables from drone LiDAR and imagery data. Its synchronized 2D, 3D, and profile views include 3D Gaussian Splat viewing. Processing tools cover LiDAR quality control and repair, filtering, 3D editing, automated ground classification, terrain models, and volume calculations. AI add-ons classify ground and above-ground features, extract forestry outputs, and identify utility corridor features. Supported sensors include DJI, Microdrones, Phoenix LiDAR, Riegl, TrueView, Wingtra, and YellowScan, and the software can combine data with other geospatial sources. Exports include CAD formats and LANDXML; LPLAS files follow the ASPRS LAS specification. Core processing is local, and offline or air-gapped use is supported. Cloud workflows are optional and user-initiated. The Drone license is a floating license for one device and limits projects to 10km². A free plan is listed; LP360 Drone costs $1,675 USD per year.
Who it is for
LP360 Drone suits users processing drone LiDAR or imagery who need classification, terrain, volume, or CAD-related outputs. Its one-device license and 10km² project limit are relevant when assessing fit.
What is good
- Provides synchronized 2D, 3D, and profile views.
- Includes LiDAR repair, filtering, and ground classification tools.
- Supports offline or air-gapped use.
- LPLAS files follow the ASPRS LAS specification.
What to know first
- The Drone license is for one device.
- Projects are limited to 10km².
- LP360 Drone costs $1,675 USD per year.
- Some cloud workflows may temporarily transfer data to third-party processors.
Verdict
LP360 Drone brings local LiDAR and imagery processing together with classification, analysis, and export tools. Check the project-size limit and license terms, and note that cloud workflows are optional rather than required.
