Product catalog summary

Overview

The RIEGL VQ-480 II is an advanced airborne laser scanning system designed for applications such as airborne mapping, corridor mapping, city modeling, and agriculture & forestry. It features a new design that enhances performance and user-friendliness, with a reduced weight of approximately 10 kg, making it suitable for both manned and unmanned aircraft.

Key Features

  • High accuracy ranging using RIEGL Waveform-LiDAR technology.
  • Laser pulse repetition rate up to 2 MHz and measurement rate up to 1,250,000 measurements/sec.
  • Wide field of view of 75° and compatibility with stabilized platforms.
  • Interfaces for up to 5 optional cameras and integration with IMU/GNSS systems.
  • Data storage options include a removable CFast® card and integrated SSD.

Performance Specifications

  • Maximum measurement range varies with pulse repetition rate and altitude, with point densities ranging from 2.32 to 123.68 pts/m².
  • Laser wavelength is near infrared with a beam divergence of ≤ 0.35 mrad.
  • Scanning mechanism uses a rotating polygon mirror with a scan angle range of ± 37.5°.

Technical Data

  • Power supply input voltage ranges from 18 to 34 V DC with typical power consumption of 150 W.
  • Dimensions are 378 mm x 193 mm x 252 mm, and the system is dust-proof and splash-proof (IP54).
  • Operating temperature range is -5°C to +40°C, with storage temperatures from -10°C to +50°C.
  • Optional integrated IMU & GNSS with high accuracy for roll, pitch, and heading measurements.

Safety and Compliance

  • Class 3R laser product according to IEC 60825-1:2014, safe for the naked eye beyond 0.5 m and for the aided eye beyond 5 m.
  • Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 for the United States.

Waveform Processing Airborne Laser Scanning System ••high accuracy ranging based on RIEGL Waveform-LiDAR technology ••high laser pulse repetition rate up to 2 MHz ••measurement rate up to 1,250,000 measurements/sec ••perfectly linear and parallel scan lines ••compact, & lightweight design: ready for integration in UAVs with higher payload capacity ••wide field of view of 75° •• nterfaces for up to 5 optional i cameras •• echanical and electrical interface m for IMU/GNSS integration ••removeable storage card and integrated Solid State Disk (SSD) for data storage •• ompatible with stabilized c platforms and even small hatches In further development of the RIEGL VQ-480 Airborne Laser Scanner Series – the RIEGL VQ-480 II presents itself in a completly new design that successfully takes up the already proven qualities and leads them to a new standard of performance and user-friendliness. Its sophisticated design allows to further reduce the overall weight resulting in approx. 10 kg. Thus, the scanner is well suited for the use in manned but also in unmanned aircrafts. The VQ-480 II can seamlessly be integrated into stabilized platforms, e.g. standard gyromounts, and also into even small hatches. Based on RIEGL‘s proven Waveform-LiDAR technology, the scanner provides highly accurate point clouds, excellent vertical target resolution, calibrated reflectance readings, and pulse shape deviation for unsurpassed information content on each single measurement. With a measurement rate of up to 1,250,000 measurements/second and an extremely wide field of view of 75°, the VQ-480 II is the first choice for airborne surveying applications like corridor mapping, city modeling, and agriculture & forestry. An easy to remove CFast® storage card and an integrated Solid State Disk and/or the option for streaming the scan data via LAN TCP/IP interface are provided for data transfer and storage. ••seamless integration and compatibility with other RIEGL ALS systems and software packages Typical applications include ••Airborne Mapping using Manned or Unmanned Aircrafts ••Corridor Mapping ••City Modeling ••Agriculture & Fores
