The RiCOPTER with VUX-SYS is a ready-to-fly airborne laser scanning UAS that integrates RIEGL’s RiCOPTER UAV with a complete, fully integrated, miniaturized airborne laser scanning system, which comprises the RIEGL VUX-1UAV LiDAR sensor, a high performance IMU/GNSS system, and camera(s).
The complete system is designed for acquisition of high-accuracy, high-resolution laser scan and image data for a wide variety of survey-grade professional applications, such as precision agriculture and forestry, aerial pipeline inspection and urban environment surveying.
The VUX-1UAV scanner features a 230-degree field of view, a 350 kHz measurement rate and 10 mm accuracy, and can be interfaced with up to three digital cameras via a control unit. Precise timestamps of camera release events are stored within the raw scan data stream, enabling subsequent combination of point cloud data and imagery.
