WIDE AREA MAPPING AND HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
Waveform Processing Airborne Laser Scanner
The high-speed rotating mirror design ensures reliability, and uniform point distribution across its entire wide field of view and at all flight altitudes. Based on RIEGL's proven Waveform-LiDAR technology, the system provides point clouds with highest accuracy, excellent vertical target resolution, calibrated reflectance readings, and pulse shape deviation for unsurpassed information content on each single measurement. Excellent atmospheric clutter suppression yields clean point clouds with minimum efforts in filtering isolated noise points.
The system is complimented with RIEGL's advanced acquisition and data processing software suite that utilizes parallel computing (GPU) for fast data processing.
The RIEGL VQ-780 II-S is designed to work with the latest Inertial Navigation (IMU) Systems, flight management systems, and camera options.
