RIEGL VQ-1560 III-S-1

Dual Channel Waveform Processing Airborne LiDAR Scanning System for High Point Density Mapping and Ultra-Wide Area Mapping high pulse repetition rates of up to 4.4 MHz • up to 2.93 million measurements-- - -per second on the ground • best point distribution for optimum target sampling • atmospheric clutter suppression • multiple target capability • online waveform processing and full waveform data recording • increased sample block lengths • on-board graphical user interface for easy access to primary scanner parameters • integrated inertial measurement unit and GNSS receiver • prepared for the integration of up to two high resolution RGB/NIR cameras • optimized for interfacing with typical hatches and stabilized platforms facilitated handling The VQ-1560III-S is the latest successor in the proven RIEGL dual channel laser scanning system series, suitable for a wide field of applications - from high-point density wide area mapping to ultra-high resolution city mapping or corridor mapping. The well-established "cross-fire" scan pattern - with two scan lines rotated against each other - enables a forward and backward view to the edges of the swath and a nadir view in the middle of the swath. High pulse repetition rates of up to 4.4 MHz enable operational flying altitudes of up to 1,600 m AGL, or up to 3,900 m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 560 kHz (all values given for 20% target reflectance). Laser pulse repetition rates can be fine-tuned in 12-kHz-steps, which enables subtle optimization of acquisition parameters in order to meet specific project requirements. Online-waveform processing and full-waveform processing capabilities are standard methods for target detection. Scan data and camera images are stored on removable hard disks that can be accessed directly on the device, eliminating the need for an external data recorder. A high-performance IMU/GNSS unit and one or two optional high resolution RGB/NIR cameras are seamlessly integrated in the compact and user-friendly designed housing. The standardized mounting flange fits typical hatches or gyro-stabilized leveling mounts for maintaining optimum point distribution. Both, the scan pattern and its wide operational range make the instrument one of the most versatile airborne laser scanners on the market today. It is perfectly suited for any kind of application - from ultra-dense corridor mapping from low altitudes, over high resolution city mapping with minimum shadowing effects in narrow street canyons, to large-scale wide area mapping at utmost efficiency of up to 1,130 km2 per hour at a density of 4 points per square meter. • Ultra Wide Area / High Altitude Mapping • Ultra-High Point Density Mapping • Mapping of Complex Urban Environments • Glacier & Snowfield Mapping • City Modeling • Mapping of Lakesides & River Banks • Agriculture & Forestry • Corridor Mapping visit our website www, riegl.com RIEGLLASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS Airborne Laser Scanning

RIEGL VQ-1560 III-S Dense Scan Pattern and Wide Effective Swath Width Each channel delivers straight parallel scan lines. The scan lines of the two channels are tilted against each other by 28 degrees providing an optimum distribution of the measurements on the ground invariant to changes in terrain height.
