Offering flexible engagement models, Altitud caters to the unique needs of clients across the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East. The extended team model ensures a dedicated team that becomes an extension of the client’s core team over time, combining the advantages of a captive center and outsourced relationship. While the fixed price model is ideal for projects with stable requirements, clearly defining deliverables, costs, and timelines, the shared services model optimizes resource utilization by sharing teams across multiple clients, charging based on hourly usage.

With a custom delivery model, winning R&D, domain expertise, and industry partnerships, Altitud has been serving numerous clients across industries. The company collaborated with a client on a project involving the classification of LiDAR LAS data. The project covered 1550 tiles concerning orthoimages and included nine categories for classification. Leveraging technologies like TerraScan, TerraModeler, and MicroStation, Altitud implemented an inventory task to validate missing flight line data and orthoimages. The company developed routines to automatically classify ground, vegetation, and buildings with error checks and accurate point allocation. Altitud successfully classified hydrological features and vegetation based on height, overcoming challenges in differentiating objects in overlap areas. The client benefited from quick access to an accurate digital terrain model, enabling efficient infrastructure and town planning, and informed decision making based on precise LiDAR data classification.

By consistently offering valuable services that contribute to business growth, Altitud aims to become a global corporation that empowers clients to make informed decisions and achieve longterm success. The company is committed to delivering excellence through quality technology and continuous process improvement. With a focus on innovation, customizable services, and collaborative engagement models, Altitud will continue enabling organizations to leverage the power of locationbased solutions.
