Product catalog summary
Overview: The RIEGL VUX-12023 is a lightweight and versatile airborne laser scanner designed for high point density corridor mapping applications. It features a wide field of view of 100 degrees and a high pulse repetition rate of up to 2.4 MHz, making it suitable for various applications such as corridor mapping, topography in open-cast mining, urban environment surveying, archaeology, agriculture, and forestry.
Specifications: The scanner offers a laser pulse repetition rate of up to 2.4 MHz and a measurement rate of up to 2,000,000 measurements per second. It can operate at flight altitudes up to 720 meters (2,350 feet) and has a field of view of up to 100 degrees. The device is compact and lightweight, weighing 2.3 kg (4.4 lbs).
Scanning Capabilities: The RIEGL VUX-12023 employs a unique Nadir/Forward/Backward (NFB) scanning pattern, which allows for comprehensive data capture, especially in environments with vertical structures and narrow canyons. The scan pattern alternates between nadir, +10 degrees forward, and -10 degrees backward directions.
Integration and Interfaces: The scanner is easily mountable on UAVs and small manned aircraft. It includes mechanical and electrical interfaces for IMU/GNSS integration and supports up to two external cameras. Data is stored on an internal SSD with a capacity of 2 TByte, and a removable CFast memory card is also available.
Performance: The scanner's maximum measurement range varies with the pulse repetition rate, with a maximum range of 1,430 meters for natural targets with 80% reflectivity at a PRR of 150 kHz. The device supports multiple-time-around processing to resolve range ambiguities.
Technical Data: The scanner operates on a time-of-flight measurement principle with echo signal digitization and multiple target capability. It has a laser wavelength in the near-infrared range and a beam divergence of 0.4 mrad. The device is dust and splash-proof with an IP64 protection class and can operate in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +40°C.
Additional Features: The RIEGL VUX-12023 can be equipped with optional external IMU and GNSS systems, such as the Applanix APX-20 UAV or AP+50, to enhance positional accuracy. It also offers camera integration options for comprehensive data collection.

„NFB“ (Nadir/Forward/Backward) Scanning UAV LiDAR Sensor • laser pulse repetition rate up to 2.4 MHz • measurement rate up to 2,000,000 meas./sec • scan speed up to 400 lines/second • operating flight altitude up to 720 m / 2,350 ft • Field of View up to 100° • compact & lightweight (2.3 kg / 4.4 lbs) • Nadir/Forward/Backward Scanning for unrivaled completeness of scan data even on vertical structures and narrow canyons • cutting edge RIEGL technology providing: - echo signal digitization - multiple target capability - online waveform processing - multiple-time-around processing • easily mountable to unmanned platforms (UAVs) and small manned aircraft • mechanical and electrical interface for IMU/GNSS integration • interfaces for up to 2 external cameras • scan data storage on internal SSD Memory • removeable CFAST® memory card The RIEGL VUX-12023 is a lightweight and versatile airborne laser scanner offering a wide field of view of 100 degrees and an extremely high pulse repetition rate of up to 2.4 MHz. Thus, it is perfectly suited for high point density corridor mapping applications. The measuring beam of the RIEGL VUX-12023 is consecutively emitted in three different directions: it alternates from strictly nadir, to +10 degrees forward, and to -10 degrees backward. This allows data acquisition with an unrivaled completeness in data capture, especially in challenging environments with vertical surfaces and narrow canyons. The scanner provides an internal data storage capacity of 2 TByte and a removeable CFast card and is equipped with interfaces for integration of an external IMU/GNSS system. Additionally, interfaces for up to two optional external cameras are available. The sophisticated design of the RIEGL VUX-12023 allows smooth integration on UAS/UAV/RPAS, small manned aeroplanes (like gyrocopters), but also on helicopters. It is offered both, as stand-alone UAV LiDAR sensor and also in various fully-integrated UAV-based laser scanning system configurations with appropriate IMU/GNSS system and optional cameras. This allows the scanner to perfectly meet all the specific requirements of the customers‘ applications. Typical applications include • Corridor Mapping: Power Line, Railway Track and Pipeline Inspection • Topography in Open-Cast Mining • Surveying of Urban Environments • Archeology and Cultural Heritage Documentation • Agriculture & Forestry visit our website www.rieg
