AIRBORNE LASER SCANNING
RIEGL VUX-1LR22
The RIEGL VUX-1LR²² is a very lightweight and compact laser scanner, meeting the challenges of airborne laser scanning by helicopter, gyrocopter, and other small aircraft both in measurement performance as well as in system integration. With regard to the specific constraints and flight characteristics, the RIEGL VUX-1LR²² is designed to be mounted in any orientation and even under limited weight and space conditions. Modest in power consumption, the instrument requires only a single power supply. The entire data set of an acquisition campaign is stored onto an internal 1 TByte SSD and/or provided as real-time line scan data via the integrated LAN-TCP/IP interface.
Lightweight Airborne Laser Scanner with Online Waveform Processing
The RIEGL VUX-1LR²² provides highspeed data acquisition using a narrow infrared laser beam and a fast line scanning mechanism. High-accuracy laser ranging is based on RIEGL's unique echo digitization and online waveform processing, which enables achieving superior measurement results even under adverse atmospheric conditions, and the evaluation of multiple target echoes. The scanning mechanism is based on an extremely fast rotating mirror, which provides fully linear, unidirectional and parallel scan lines, resulting in excellent regular point pattern.
