Long Range, Very High Speed 3D Laser Scanner

Its processing architecture enables execution of different background tasks (such as point cloud registration, geo- referencing, orientation via integrated Inertial Measurement Unit, etc.) on-board in parallel to the simultaneous acquisition of scan data and image data. A full documentation of the scanner‘s software components – directly accessible on the RIEGL VZ-2000i – provides a sound basis for creation of your own python apps to enhance the scanner functionality. The system provides highest flexibility by supporting numerous peripherals and accessories such as the integrated GNSS unit for high accurate RTK solution, a SIM Card slot for 3G/4G LTE, WLAN, LAN, USB, and different other ports of external units.
