RIEGL with Broad and Impressive Product Range, New Products at Intergeo 2016



Oct 11, 2016 -- RIEGL
uses the INTERGEO platform traditionally to give an insight and an overview on its comprehensive LiDAR sensors and systems product range. At booth C3.059 in hall A3, on the first day RIEGL introduced current developments and unveiled latest products to the INTERGEO audience.

“From large scale to very small scale” three new RIEGL world products expanding the portfolio in airborne and UAV-based laser scanning have been unveiled:

The new RIEGL VQ-1560i Dual LiDAR Channel Airborne Laser Scanning System is the consistent advancement of the Ultra Wide-Area, High Altitude Airborne Mapping System LMS-Q1560 that is in current operation at renowned institutions, service providers, and research organizations worldwide. The consequently improved new VQ-1560i is a cutting-edge tool with fully integrated high performance Applanix IMU and GNSS receiver perfectly suited for a variety of airborne surveying missions from ultra-wide area, high altitude mapping to mapping of complex urban environments and city modeling. Two linear LiDAR channels, each enabling the recognition of several targets per laser pulse, provide a radically increased laser pulse repetition rate of up to 2 MHz and deliver up to 1.33 million measurements per second on the ground! The system allows data acquisition at a wide range of point densities from 2pts/sqm up to more than 60 pts/sqm at operating flight altitudes of up to 15,500 ft AGL. The VQ-1560i is the first RIEGL LiDAR System that provides online data processing as well as smart and full waveform recording similarly and enables Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) processing the incredible amount of up to 20 pulses in the air simultaneously! Additionally, the optional system configuration consists of a fully integrated, easy accessible Phase One medium format camera and is prepared for the integration of a secondary camera, e.g. monochrome or infrared.

Another exciting INTERGEO announcement is the new RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV LiDAR Sensor, an entry-level addition to RIEGL’s state of the art UAV-based LiDAR portfolio. The miniVUX-1UAV is a very compact miniaturized 360 degrees field of view LiDAR sensor with only 1.6 kilograms and especially developed for the implementation of emerging survey solutions by small UAS/UAV/RPAS. The new sensor offers multi-target capability and accuracy using echo digitization and online waveform processing for data acquisition, RIEGL said. The sensor is capable of 100,000 measurements per second and offers an operating altitude of 100+ meters. Its small size and very low weight make it well suited for mounting under limited weight and space conditions. Thus, this user-friendly and cost-efficient device allows UAV based acquisition of survey-grade measurement data from agriculture & forestry, archaeology and cultural heritage documentation, to glacier and snowfield mapping and landslide monitoring.

RIEGL’s BathyCopter, the UAV-based surveying system for hydrographic applications has been presented as a proof of concept at last year’s INTERGEO. Now – after a year of intensive developing and testing, RIEGL announced serial availability. The BathyCopter is equipped with the new RIEGL BDF-1, a compact and lightweight bathymetric depth finder optimized for UAV-borne operation. It is ideally suited for generating profiles of inland water bodies. The topo-bathymetric depth finder comprises tilt compensation, an IMU/GNSS unit with antenna, a control unit, a data storage unit, and can be equipped with up to two external digital cameras. RIEGL’s new hydrographic full waveform processing delivers highly accurate, reliable and informative data; pre-detection averaging allows essential performance improvement at adverse conditions.

 

The latest state-of-the-art RIEGL single and mobile laser scanning systems, as well as the RiCOPTER, and the terrestrial scanning portfolio are displayed at the booth, accompanied by several renowned RIEGL partner companies showcasing their special solutions directly at the RIEGL booth C3.059.
