Frequently Asked Questions

Got any questions?

We’ve gathered some of the most common questions we receive to help you find answers quickly. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, simply get in touch with our team and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

What exactly do you collect, and how?

We capture high-resolution 360° street-level imagery using proprietary systems designed for comprehensive roadscape coverage, producing GIS-ready datasets for mapping and analysis.

Is LiDAR available, or is this imagery-only?

Imagery is the baseline; LiDAR can be added where mapping-grade measurements or 3D geometry are required, supporting engineering-level use cases and feature extraction.

How accurate and “analysis-ready” is the data?

The collection workflow is built for geospatial accuracy and GIS integration, enabling measurement, asset identification, and urban-mobility/infrastructure analysis right away—without heavy preprocessing.

How fast can you cover large areas?

NCTech emphasizes rapid, large-scale capture and processing (millions of miles, petabyte-scale catalogs), enabling city/county/state programs with quick turnaround compared to manual surveys.

How do we access the imagery and results?

You can download deliverables or use VR.World for organization-wide viewing, QA and collaboration. Many customers report VR.World removes 50–70% of site visits via desktop inspections.

What licensing or downstream uses are supported (e.g., AI training)?

Data is supplied for commercial GIS use and can be licensed for AI training with copyright indemnification—useful for Big Tech, mapping platforms, and analytics teams.
