UAV-BASED LASER SCANNING
RIEGL VUX-16023
The RIEGL VUX-16023 is a lightweight and versatile airborne laser scanner offering a wide field of view of 100 degrees and an extremely high pulse repetition rate of up to 2.4 MHz. Thus, it is perfectly suited for high point density corridor mapping applications. The measuring beam of the RIEGL VUX-16023 is consecutively emitted in three different directions: it alternates from strictly nadir, to +10 degrees forward, and to -10 degrees backward. This allows data acquisition with an unrivaled completeness in data capture, especially in challenging environments with vertical surfaces and narrow canyons.
"NFB" (Nadir/Forward/Backward) Scanning UAV LiDAR Sensor
The scanner provides an internal data storage capacity of 2 TByte and a removeable CFast card and is equipped with interfaces for integration of an external IMU/GNSS system. Additionally, interfaces for up to five optional external cameras are available.
The sophisticated design of the RIEGL VUX-160²³ allows smooth integration on UAS/UAV/RPAS, small manned aeroplanes (like gyro-copters), but also on helicopters. It is offered both, as stand-alone UAV LiDAR sensor and also in various fully-integrated UAV-based laser scanning system configurations with appropriate IMU/GNSS system and optional cameras. This allows the scanner to perfectly meet all the specific requirements of the customers‘ applications.
RIEGL‘S HIGH-PRECISION IMU/GNSS SOLUTION
RIEGL RiLOC-F
RIEGL offers a fully integrated VUX-series LiDAR solution with a high-precision inertial subsystem for localization and orientation (Localization/Orientation Component), the RiLOC-F.
The version of the RIEGL VUX-16023 includes a high-precision Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a GNSS unit, and appropriate software. All components are included in a compact and lightweight housing, that is directly attached to the scanner.
The combination of the LiDAR sensor and RiLOC-F into a compact complete LiDAR system is the ideal solution for small-scale LiDAR surveying with drones. In such applications, using a nearby local base station ensures the shortest base length and thus maximum accuracy in the georeferencing of the high-precision LiDAR data from the RIEGL VUX-series high-precision LiDAR sensor.
