RIEGL VUX-100-25 High-Performance Airborne LiDAR for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Name: RIEGL VUX-100-25 High-Performance Airborne LiDAR for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Brand: RIEGL
Availability: InStock

Description

With the VUX-100-25, RIEGL offers a lightweight and versatile airborne laser scanner with a large field of view of 160 degrees and an high pulse repetition rate of up to 1,500 kHz.

Combined with a measurement rate of up to 1.3 million measurements/sec, a scan speed of up to 200 lines/second, and an operating flight altitude of up to 360 m / 1,200 feet, the sensor provides an extra wide area coverage, which is especially advantageous for applications like mapping of complex terrain and narrow canyons. The sophisticated design and the low weight of 2.36 kg / 4.4 lbs allows smooth integration on drones, but also on small crewed planes (like gyrocopters) and on helicopters.

For customer-specific system solutions by professional system integrators, a special OEM-Version of the RIEGL VUX-100-25, which provides customer specific interfaces and less weight, is provided.

The scanner is available as stand-alone UAV-LiDAR sensor, but also in various fully-integrated laser scanning system configurations with appropriate IMU/GNSS system and optional cameras.

NEW: 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-100-25 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.
