Laser scanner support VPX-1

airborne

The RIEGL VPX-1 is a lightweight and stream-lined pod that carries a complete airborne laser scanning platform for easy and quick mounting on suitable support arms of helicopters. Being perfectly suited for corridor mapping applications the platform consists of a RIEGL laser scanner (VUX-120-23, VUX-160-23, VUX-180-24, VUX-240-24), three Phase One iXM high resolution digital cameras and a high-end IMU/GNSS system. The airborne laser scanner’s high effective repetition rate on the ground and the olique orientation of the cameras (forward / nadir / backward) especially account for the specifics of power line mapping applications, but also make it a perfect tool for high-density city mapping at altitudes of up to 1200 m.
