Airborne Laser Scanners

LiteMapper 7800VQ2

The newest IGI LiteMapper-7800VQ2 with integrated 2MHz RIEGL VQ-780II Lidar is equipped with the IGI SMU-2 for data storage and management. Using the IGI SMU-2, installations in helicopters and cramped scenarios can be planned and executed very quickly! Designed as a rugged but compact and lightweight system, the IGI LiteMapper can be used in various aircraft.

LiteMapper 1560VQ

Designed as a rugged but also compact and lightweight system, the IGI LiteMapper can be used in a variety of aircraft, from large aeroplanes and helicopters to ultra-light aeroplanes and gyroplanes or even remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS).

TerrainMapper-2

The Leica TerrainMapper-2 is the latest linear-mode Lidar airborne sensor providing the highest performance for regional mapping projects. The gateless MPiA delivers outstanding accuracy, unmatched point density and even point distribution. The TerrainMapper is optimized for various applications, from narrow-swath corridors to high altitude projects. It includes a 2MHz Lidar, combined with 2 nadirs 150MP cameras in RGB and NIR.

Leica Chiroptera 4X

The Leica Chiroptera 4X is a cost-effective, innovative Lidar system that simultaneously captures 140,000 points per second in the bathymetric channel, and up to 500,000 points per second in the topographic channel. The system is designed to collect high accuracy data for environmental monitoring and surveying of shallow water with survey depths down to 25m. The shoreline is captured seamlessly with the Leica RCD30 80 MPix camera to generate RGB point clouds.

Leica HawkEye 4X

The Leica HawkEye 4X offers unrivalled bathymetric point density and water penetration down to 50m depth with the highest accuracy, for turbid water performance, with increased sensitivity, offering a productivity gain of >50%. The system expands on the competence of Leica Chiroptera 4X by providing superior capability in deeper waters. Do you currently own a Leica Chiroptera 4X but need to expand into deeper waters? Just add the HawkEye 4X.

VQ-1560II-S

The new VQ-1560 II-S follows the successful concept of RIEGL’s proven dual channel laser scanner series. With increased laser power, the operational altitudes are extended up to 1,600m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 4MHz, or up to 4,000m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 540kHz (all values given for 20% target refl ectance). These improved maximum ranges allow an increase of the system’s productivity by about 25% for a very attractive point density range.

VQ-780II-S

The RIEGL VQ-780 II-S is a high performance, rugged, lightweight, and compact airborne mapping sensor. This versatile system is designed for highly effi cient data acquisition at low, mid, and high altitudes, covering a variety of different airborne laser scanning applications from high density to wide area mapping.

VPX-1

The RIEGL VPX-1 is a lightweight and streamlined pod that carries a complete airborne laser scanning platform for easy and quick mounting on suitable support arms on helicopters.

VQ-840-G

The RIEGL VQ-840-G is a fully integrated compact airborne laser scanner for combined hydrographic and topographic surveying. The system can be offered optionally with an integrated and factorycalibrated IMU/GNSS system and with an optional camera or IR rangefi nder on request. The VQ840-G is a compact and lightweight Lidar system to be installed on various platforms including UAVs.

CZMIL Supernova

Supernova is the next generation topo/bathy Lidar system from Teledyne Geospatial, Equipped with the most powerful green laser on the market, Supernova provides maximum depth penetration, superior coverage in turbid waters, and up to 8 ppm2 point density in shallow water.

ALTM Galaxy PRIME

The new Galaxy PRIME is the next evolution of the popular Galaxy wide-area/corridor Lidar mapping platform that includes the advanced and unique PulseTRAK and SwathTRAK productivity feature sets. An innovative ‘boost mode’ increases range performance, and an expanded range of motion for the dynamic FOV used by SwathTRAK ensures that the Galaxy PRIME is quite simply the most versatile, highest-performing, and most productive sensor on the market.

G2 Sensor System

The G2 Sensor System offers a true 4MHz pulse frequency via two sensor heads installed in opposing directions. This enables the double pass over the ground and all targets and thus delivers high-resolution data products with minimal occlusion. The sensor heads can be pitched variably, either at 2.5° or 7° which allows for operations in pressurised aircraft in addition to superior vertical target detection and vegetation penetration.
