RIEGL VQ-780 II-S Airborne Laser Scanner

The RIEGL’s VQ-780 II-S is a high performance, rugged, lightweight, and compact airborne mapping sensor. This versatile system is designed for high-efficient data acquisition at low, mid, and high altitudes, covering a variety of different airborne laser scanning applications from high density to wide area mapping.

The high-speed rotating mirror design ensures reliability, and uniform point distribution across its entire wide field of view and at all flight altitudes. Mission altitudes of up to 2700 m AGL at a pulse repetition rate of 2 MHz or up to 5800 m AGL at 270 kHz PRR (given target reflectivity 60%) are enabled - but even with only 20% reflectivity, 1700 m AGL at 2 MHz, and 3900 m AGL at 270 kHz can be achieved easily, resulting in a significant increase in efficiency in surveying of large areas.

Based on RIEGL's proven Waveform-LiDAR technology, the system provides point clouds with highest accuracy, excellent vertical target resolution, calibrated reflectance readings, and pulse shape deviation for unsurpassed information content on each single measurement. Excellent atmospheric clutter suppression yields clean point clouds with minimum efforts in filtering isolated noise points.
