Overview

UgCS Expert is SPH Engineering's LiDAR-optimized UAV flight planning platform — built for survey professionals who demand precision, repeatability, and sensor-aware automation on every mission. Combining all features of UgCS Pro with a dedicated LiDAR toolset including Smart AGL, FOV-based line spacing, and automated IMU calibration patterns, UgCS Expert reduces LiDAR mission planning time by up to 3× and delivers ROI within 1–2 projects. Sensor-agnostic. Terrain-intelligent. Mission-ready.

LiDAR-Optimized. Terrain-Intelligent. Survey-Grade.
UgCS Expert's dedicated LiDAR toolset redefines what's possible in drone-based point cloud acquisition. FOV-based flight line spacing ensures complete, overlap-controlled swath coverage. The Smart AGL algorithm maintains exact distance to the nearest surface across complex terrain — delivering consistent point density from first pass to last. Automated IMU calibration patterns (figure-eight, U-turn/J-hook, automatic L1 segments) eliminate manual calibration overhead. Adjustable corner radius and loop turns optimize data quality at swath boundaries. Compatible with DJI L1/L2, YellowScan, RIEGL, Phoenix LiDAR, and more.

Smart AGL. Exact Surface Distance. Every Pass. The Smart AGL algorithm continuously adjusts flight altitude to maintain a precise, consistent distance to the nearest surface — across ridgelines, slopes, and complex terrain — ensuring uniform point density and eliminating data gaps caused by altitude variation.

Automated IMU Calibration. Zero Manual Overhead. Figure-eight patterns, U-turn/J-hook actions, and automatic L1 calibration segments are built directly into the mission profile — so IMU initialization happens as part of the flight plan, not as a separate manual step before every survey.

Sensor-Agnostic. Officially Supported. UgCS Expert works with any LiDAR payload on a supported drone, with official support for DJI L1/L2, YellowScan, Phoenix LiDAR, RIEGL, LIDAR USA, GeoCue, Rock Robotics, GeoSun, 3DT Scanfly, Topodrone, and Balko Tech.
