The new RIEGL VUX-160²³ 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-160²³ 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 unrivaledmore
The new RIEGL VUX-160²³ 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-160²³ 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 1 TByte and a removable CFAST® card and is equipped with interfaces for integration of an external INS/GNSS system. Additionally, interfaces for up to five optional external cameras are available.
The sophisticated design of the RIEGL VUX-160²³ allows smooth integration on UAS/UAV/RPAS, small manned aeroplanes (like gyro-copters), 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 INS/GNSS system and optional cameras. This allows the scanner to perfectly meet all the specific requirements of the customers‘ applications.
