RIEGL VQ-1560III-S Dual Channel Airborne Laser Scanning System

Name: RIEGL VQ-1560III-S Dual Channel Airborne Laser Scanning System
Brand: RIEGL
Availability: InStock

Description

The VQ-1560 III-S is the latest successor in the proven RIEGL dual channel laser scanning system series, suitable for a wide field of applications in airborne mapping.

The well-established “cross-fire” scan pattern enables a forward and backward view to the edges of the swath and a nadir view in the middle of the swath resulting in best point distribution for optimum target sampling. High pulse repetition rates of up to 4.4 MHz allow for operational flying altitudes of up to 1,600 m AGL, or up to 3,900 m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 560 kHz (all values given for 20% target reflectance).

A high-performance IMU/GNSS unit and one or two optional high resolution RGB/NIR cameras are seamlessly integrated in the compact and user-friendly designed housing.

The excellent scan pattern and its wide operational range make the instrument one of the most versatile airborne laser scanners on the market today. It is perfectly suited for any kind of application; from ultra-dense corridor mapping from low altitudes, over high-resolution city mapping with minimum shadowing effects in narrow street canyons, to large-scale wide area mapping at utmost efficiency of up to 1,130 km² per hour at a density of 4 points per square meter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum flying altitude for the RIEGL VQ-1560III-S?

The RIEGL VQ-1560III-S supports operational flying altitudes of up to 1,600 m AGL at 20% target reflectance, and up to 3,900 m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 560 kHz.

What is the purpose of the "crossfire" scan pattern?

The "crossfire" scan pattern enables a forward and backward view to the edges of the swath and a nadir view in the middle. This ensures optimal coverage and high-quality data collection across the entire scanning area.

How can the pulse repetition rate be adjusted?

The pulse repetition rate can be fine-tuned in 12 kHz steps, allowing for precise optimization of the acquisition parameters to meet the specific needs of a given project.

What are the main applications of the VQ-1560III-S?

The VQ-1560III-S is suitable for a variety of applications, including ultra-wide area mapping, high-density city mapping, corridor mapping, glacier and snowfield mapping, agriculture, forestry, and urban modeling.

Does the RIEGL VQ-1560III-S include cameras?

Yes, the system can be equipped with one or two optional high-resolution RGB/NIR cameras to provide additional imaging capabilities and enhance data accuracy.

How is the data from the RIEGL VQ-1560III-S stored?

Data is stored on removable hard disks that can be accessed directly on the device, eliminating the need for an external data recorder and simplifying the data transfer process.

Can the RIEGL VQ-1560III-S be mounted on different aircraft?

Yes, the system is designed with a standardized mounting flange that fits typical hatches and gyro-stabilized leveling mounts, ensuring optimal point distribution during flight.

What is the maximum mapping efficiency of the VQ-1560III-S?

The VQ-1560III-S can map up to 1,130 km² per hour at a point density of 4 points per square meter, making it highly efficient for large-scale surveys.

How does the VQ-1560III-S handle different target reflectances?

The VQ-1560III-S adjusts its performance based on target reflectance, with the ability to optimize pulse repetition rates for different reflectance levels, ensuring accurate data collection in diverse conditions.

What type of data processing capabilities are included?

The system supports both online and full-waveform processing for advanced target detection, providing high accuracy and versatility in data acquisition and processing.
