# Bayrange

*/Startups/Bayrange*

## Startup Overview

Surveyors and civil engineers lose days manually aligning disparate geospatial datasets. When building large-scale environmental or urban models, integrating separate laser scans and aerial photography often results in broken topology and misaligned coordinates. This spatial data engine processes and fuses raw surveying inputs into continuous digital environments.

The system directly merges LiDAR point clouds and photogrammetry captures into unified coordinate meshes. Instead of forcing technicians to rely on manual point-cloud stitching or heavy legacy desktop software like Trimble Business Center and Esri ArcGIS, the platform automatically calculates and resolves spatial overlaps. Every generated mesh is topologically verified to ensure watertight geometries and precise geographic anchoring without human intervention.

By guaranteeing topological integrity at the mesh-generation stage, surveying operations bypass the traditional quality assurance bottlenecks of spatial modeling. The infrastructure is priced strictly per square kilometer mapped, eliminating the complex software licensing tiers and per-seat constraints typical of traditional geospatial suites.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting consistent sub-5cm topological alignment for mixed-sensor urban surveys.
- Aiming to eliminate manual point-cloud stitching for civil engineering teams.
- Intended to process continuous 100+ sq km regional datasets without edge-segmentation errors.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Mesh · Price: ~$10–$25 per sq km · Inclusions: Unified LiDAR and photogrammetry meshing up to 10cm resolution, standard topological verification, and export to standard formats (LAS, OBJ, 3D Tiles).
- Name: Precision Mesh · Price: ~$35–$60 per sq km · Inclusions: Sub-5cm high-fidelity meshing, advanced edge-seam conflict resolution, automated ground-control point (GCP) alignment, and detailed classification.
- Name: Volume Scale · Price: ~$15k–$40k/yr baseline · Inclusions: Pre-purchased block of 1,000+ sq km processing at a discounted meter, priority compute queue, and API access for continuous drone or aerial survey pipelines.
**Guarantee**: If the unified mesh fails to align with your provided ground control points within the tier's stated accuracy threshold, the dataset will be reprocessed at no additional cost until verified.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Our sensors use different coordinate systems. -> Bayrange is designed to automatically detect and transform disparate coordinate reference systems (CRS) into a single unified datum.
- Automated stitching creates artifacts at the seams. -> The topological verification process actively detects and resolves overlapping mesh conflicts before final rendering.
- The resulting meshes will be too large to handle. -> Outputs are optimized and intended to stream directly into environments like Esri ArcGIS via OGC 3D Tiles.
