Product catalog summary

Overview: The RIEGL VPX-1 is a lightweight, streamlined pod designed for airborne laser scanning, particularly suited for corridor mapping applications. It integrates a RIEGL VUX-240 laser scanner, three Sony Alpha high-resolution cameras, and a high-end IMU/GNSS system, making it ideal for power line and high-density city mapping.

Specifications:

Laser Scanner: RIEGL VUX-240 with a maximum effective measurement rate of 1.5 million measurements per second and a range of up to 1200 meters at 20% target reflectivity.
Accuracy: 20 mm accuracy and 15 mm precision with a 75° field of view.
IMU/GNSS Unit: Options include Applanix AP20, AP60, and AP50-Air with varying accuracy and position specifications.
Camera Orientation: Forward, nadir, and backward angles at -20°, 0°, and +20° respectively.
Total Weight: Approximately 20 kg, depending on configuration.

Applications: The system is versatile, supporting applications such as corridor mapping, archaeology, cultural heritage documentation, terrain and canyon mapping, flood zone mapping, urban environment surveying, topography in open-cast mining, construction-site monitoring, power line, railway track, and pipeline inspection, accident investigation, and emergency management planning.

Installation and Operation: The VPX-1 allows for quick installation and removal using existing mounts like the AirFILM Camera System. It is designed for easy mounting on helicopters, with the operation being the end user's responsibility.

Compliance and Safety: The RIEGL VUX-240 is a Class 3R laser product compliant with IEC60825-1:2014 and U.S. regulations, with specific compliance notes for instruments delivered into the United States.

with integrated RIEGL VUX-240 1200m 1.8MHz The RIEGL VPX-1 is a lightweight and streamlined pod that carries a complete airborne laser scanning platform for easy and quick mounting on suitable support arms on helicopters. Being perfectly suited for corridor mapping applications the platform consists of a RIEGL VUX-240 airborne laser scanner, three Sony Alpha high resolution digital cameras and a high-end IMU/GNSS system. The airborne laser scanner’s high effective repetition rate of 1.5 million measurements on the ground and the oblique orientation of the cameras (Forward/Nadir/Backward) especially account for the specifics of power line mapping applications, but also make it a perfect tool for high-density city mapping at altitudes of up to 1200m.
