RIEGL VQ-580 II-S-1

S ‘ Waveform Processing Airborne Laser Scanning System mm£ with Increased Range Capacity • increased measurement range of up to 2.450 m • 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 • wide field of view of 75° • excellently suited • interfaces for up to 5 optional cameras • mechanical and electrical interface for IMU/GNSS integration • removeable storage card and integrated solid state drive (SSD) for data storage • compact and lightweight design • compatible with stabilized platforms and even small hatches • seamless integration and compatibility with other RIEGL ALS systems and software packages To meet the increasing requirements of compact laser scanners for medium- and wide-area mapping as well as for corridor mapping, RIEGL offers the VQ-580 II-S, which provides an increased maximum measurement range of up to 2.450 m. It is perfectly suited for integration with gyro-stabilized mounts as well as into the VQX-1 Wing Pod, RIEGL’s fully integrated laser scanning system for user-friendly installation on Cessna single piston engine aircraft to facilitate various airborne mapping applications. Based on RIEGL's proven Waveform-LiDAR technology, the VQ-580 II-S provides highly accurate and precise 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 meas./sec and an extremely wide field of view of 75 degrees, the versatile instrument perfectly meets the challenges in various special airborne surveying applications - from corridor mapping to forestry - from a wide range of manned aircraft such as helicopters, small fixed wing aircraft and ultralight aircraft. Due to the laser wavelength used, the system enables measurements to wet and frozen surfaces and delivers first class results in snowfield mapping and glacier monitoring. The RIEGL VQ-580 II-S provides mechanical and electrical interfaces for the integration with an appropriate IMU/GNSS unit and is ready for controlling up to 5 optional cameras. Convenient access to the acquired scan data is ensured by data storage on an easy to remove CFast® storage card and an integrated solid state drive, but also by streaming scan data via a LAN TCP/IP interface. Typical applications include • Medium to Wide Area Mapping • Corridor Mapping • City Modeling • Glacier and Snowfield Monitoring • Agriculture & Forestry visit our website www, riegl.com RIEGIl LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS Airborne Laser Scanning
