Product catalog summary
Introduction to ALMI Technology
The ALMI technology, developed by Aeroscout GmbH, is designed for professional 3D aerial laser scanning using UAV systems. It ensures continuous monitoring, accuracy control, vibration isolation, and time synchronization for 3D laser scanning.

Development and Application
Initially developed as part of the EU research project "BACS" at ETH Zurich (2006-2010), the ALMI technology has been successfully demonstrated on the Aeroscout Scout B1-100 UAV helicopter. It is adaptable to other UAV systems and has been refined to meet industrial requirements.

Technical Specifications
  • The UAV payload includes a laser scanner integrated with a high-grade dual-GPS antenna INS/GPS navigation system and a GPS reference station.
  • The ALMI user interface facilitates communication with payload components and configuration before flight.
  • Data processing can be initiated manually or automatically based on mission parameters.
  • Real-time data recording and performance metrics are displayed on the ground control station (GCS).
  • Supports various data interfaces such as Ethernet LAN, WLAN, USB, RS232, RS485, etc.
  • Remote data download allows immediate performance control and feedback.
  • Complete vibration isolation is integrated into the hardware to mitigate engine and rotor vibrations.

Features of ALMI Technology
  • Compatibility with state-of-the-art RIEGL laser scanners.
  • Optimized for OXTS INS/GPS navigation units.
  • Integration with any GPS reference station providing differential corrections.
  • Online performance and accuracy display, communication status, and data feedback.
  • Remote access to recorded data.
  • Supports various data links, including standard modem and broadband.

Scout B1-100 UAV Helicopter
The Scout B1-100 is recognized as a leading autonomous helicopter system for applications like high-accuracy 3D aerial laser mapping, autonomous 3D aerial magnetic scanning, and aerial inspection. It features:
  • An industrial-grade autonomously flying helicopter with a payload capacity of up to 18 kg and a flight endurance of up to 90 minutes.
  • Pre-programmable flight missions with high positioning accuracy.
  • Safety features including autonomous homing, automatic landing in case of link-loss, and redundant backup links.
