LiDAR technology for airplanes and helicopters makes it possible to create detailed topographic models (high-density 3D point clouds) with sub-meter accuracy. It is an essential tool for capturing 3D data of large territories such as agricultural, forestry or urban areas, industrial plants and open pit mines. \u00c1lava Ingenieros, in collaboration with Riegl, offers multiple LiDAR systems for manned aviation: <\/p>\n

LiDAR models for airplanes and helicopters:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Riegl VQ-480 II: <\/b>Versatile and lightweight LiDAR, designed for medium and low altitude surveying applications (up to 1,850m AGL). It offers a field of view of up to 75 degrees and a pulse repetition rate (PRR) of 2 MHz, ideal for mapping urban and agricultural areas. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Riegl VQ-580 II-S<\/b>: Optimized for aerial surveying of large areas and large linear projects. 75\u00b0 field of view and PRR up to 2 MHz, allows flight heights up to 2,740m. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Riegl VQ-680<\/b>: Ideal for urban, forestry and power line mapping. It offers 5 scanning angles in the direction of flight: +20\u00b0, +10\u00b0, 0\u00b0, -10\u00b0 and -20\u00b0, with a horizontal field of view of 60\u00b0. This allows the recording of vertical structures and avoids shadowing. 2.4 MHz PRR, 60\u00b0 field of view and flight altitudes up to 3,440m. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Riegl VQ-780 II-S: <\/b>High speed and accuracy for large-scale mapping at flight altitudes up to 5,800m. With a 60\u00b0 field of view and a pulse repetition rate of up to 2 MHz, it is ideal for extensive and detailed surveys of complex terrain. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Riegl VQ-1560 III-S<\/b>: Dual channel LiDAR system ideal for mapping very large areas, urban areas or linear infrastructure with a high density of points. Its cross-fire scanning pattern allows forward, backward and nadir views, with pulse repetition rates up to 4.4 MHz, operating at altitudes up to 5,770m. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Riegl VQ-1460<\/b>: With repetition rates up to 4.4 MHz, it offers an even distribution of points on the ground and allows flight heights up to 6,450m.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Success stories<\/h4>\n

    Airborne LiDAR has proven to be indispensable in projects such as the National Aerial Orthophotography Plan (PNOA – LiDAR) of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) or the inspection of medium, high and very high voltage overhead power lines for Red El\u00e9ctrica Espa\u00f1ola (REE) or private companies in charge of electricity supply distribution.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    How to choose the right LiDAR system for your aircraft<\/h4>\n

    When selecting a LiDAR system for airplanes or helicopters, it is important to consider resolution, equipment weight and project needs, as well as operating conditions and expected productivity.<\/p>\n
