LiDAR technology has proven its effectiveness in providing accurate 3D aerial mapping data. UAV-mounted LiDAR solutions are increasingly used in commercial fields such as construction, forestry and mining, as well as in research applications and structural inspections of power lines, pipelines, roads or railways. Technical applications are constantly increasing and diversifying.
LiDAR, short for “Light Detection and Ranging”, is an optical remote sensing technique that uses a laser to map the surface, producing accurate x, y and z measurements. LiDAR often represents the topology of the terrain in greater detail and accuracy than photogrammetry. Even in areas with dense vegetation, it is possible to obtain point clouds from the ground. In addition, it is not necessary to deploy control points, and it is possible to map in a low-light or no-light environment, which is not possible with photogrammetry.
YellowScan has designed a fully integrated and easy to use LiDAR system that includes the famous Riegl laser scanner and the Applanix APX-15 IMU from Applanix UAV.
The YellowScan Vx15 is an excellent solution for your high-flying UAV projects with short-term data processing needs.
Its size is ideal for all types of UAVs.
