RIEGL VQ-1560III-S Dual Channel Airborne Laser Scanning System
Description
The VQ-1560 III-S is the latest successor in the proven RIEGL dual channel laser scanning system series, suitable for a wide field of applications in airborne mapping.
The well-established “cross-fire” scan pattern enables a forward and backward view to the edges of the swath and a nadir view in the middle of the swath resulting in best point distribution for optimum target sampling. High pulse repetition rates of up to 4.4 MHz allow for 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).
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 excellent 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.
