RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV-1

LiDAR Sensor for Unmanned Laser Scanning • very compact & lightweight (1.55 kg / 3.4 lbs) • 360° field-of-view • robust aluminum housing, ready to be mounted on multi-rotor, rotary-wing, and fixed-wing UAVs • akes use of RIEGL’s unique echo m signal digitization and online waveform processing • ultiple target capability – m up to 5 target echoes per laser shot • can speed up to 100 scans/sec s • easurement rate up to m 100,000 measurements/sec • echanical and electrical interface m for IMU mounting • exceptionally well suited to measure in snowy and icy terrains • user-friendly, application- and installation-oriented solutions for integration The RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV is an extremely lightweight airborne laser scanner, designed specifically for integration with UAS/UAV/RPAS. The small and sophisticated design of the stable aluminum housing offers various integration possibilities with platforms that offer restricted space or payload capabilities. The 360° field of view allows complete acquisition of the environment. An easy-to-remove SD card for data storage, and/or the option for streaming the scan data via LAN-TCP/IP interface, in combination with the modest power consumption of the scanner, enable straight-forward integration with most UAS/UAV/RPAS types. The RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV makes use of RIEGL’s unique Waveform-LiDAR technology, allowing echo digitization and online waveform processing. Multi-target resolution is the basis for penetrating even dense foliage. As a further special feature, the wavelength is optimized for the measurement of snowy and icy terrain. In addition to the stand-alone version of the miniVUX-1UAV, RIEGL also offers fully-integrated system solutions. Typical applications include • Agriculture & Forestry • Glacier and Snowfield Mapping • Archeology and Cultural Heritage Documentation • Construction-Site Monitoring • Landslide Monitoring visit our website www.riegl.com
