Dual Wavelength Waveform Processing Airborne LiDAR Scanning System for High-Point Density Mapping Applications NEW RIEGL VQ-156i-DW enhanced target characterization based upon simultaneous measurements at green and infrared laser wavelengths high laser pulse repetition rate of up to 1 MHz per laser channel up to 1.33 million measurements per second on the ground data acquisition at a wide range of point densities excellent multiple target capability enables Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) processing of up to 2 pulses simultaneously in the air online waveform processing as well as smart and full waveform recording for both LiDAR channels integrated inertial measurement unit and GNSS receiver integrated, easily accessible medium format camera prepared for integration of a secondary camera high-speed fiber data interface to RIEGL data recorder housing shape and mounting flange optimized for interfacing ing with typical hatches hes and stabilized iz platforms The VQ-156i-DW is a new airborne LiDAR scanning system offering two LiDAR channels of different wavelengths, green and infrared (IR). These wavelengths are well chosen to allow the acquisition of scan data of complementary information content, thus delivering two independent reflectance distribution maps, one per laser wavelength. Scan data acquired with the RIEGL VQ-156i-DW are the input for wellestablished scan data processing methods but also for the development of highly sophisticated data processing and evaluation algorithms for new areas of application like vegetation mapping in agriculture and forestry. Thus the VQ-156i-DW offers innovative technology for commercial as well as scientific and research applications. The VQ-156i-DW provides a laser pulse repetition rate of up to 1MHz per LiDAR channel, resulting in a total of more than 1.3 million measurements per second on the ground. The VQ-156i-DW works at highest productivity when both LiDAR channels are combined, typically at altitudes up to 83 ft. However, each channel is also prepared for stand-alone operation. This channel selection capability in combination with a matched line of measurement programs as well as widely variable scan parameters enable highest possible flexibility for meeting highly specific requirements of challenging application scenarios. The system is completed by a high performance IMU/GNSS unit and up to two optional cameras. A 1 megapixels RBG camera is intended to be used as primary camera, as secondary camera a thermal or a NIR camera can be built in. The mounting flange is optimized for simple interfacing with typical aircraft hatches and stabilized mounts by means of a specific adapter ring. Applications: Scientific and Research Applications Agriculture and Forestry Mapping of Vegetation and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Glacier & Snowfield Mapping Mapping of Lake Sides & River Banks High Point Density Mapping Corridor Mapping visit our website www.riegl.com Airborne Laser Scanning

RIEGL VQ-156i-DW Scan Pattern effective FOV 28 Each channel delivers straight parallel scan lines. The scan lines of the two channels are tilted against each other by 28 degrees providing an optimum distribution of the measurements on the ground invariant to changes in terrain height.

The minimum range for valid reflectance values is 25 m. 9) Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value. 1) Standard deviation one sigma @ 25 m range under RIEGL test conditions. 11) Precision, also called reproducibility or repeatability, is the degree to which further measurements show the same result. 12) A license for lower divergence settings is available on request based on a signed liability disclaimer. 13).18 mrad corresponds to an increase of the 1/e beam diameter of 18 cm per 1 m distance. 14).25 mrad corresponds to an increase of the 1/e² beam diameter of 25 cm per 1 m distance. 15) Depending on laser pulse repetition rate, up to a max. of 15 targets per laser pulse. 16) If the laser beam hits, in part, more than one target, the laser s pulse power is split accordingly. Thus, the achievable range is reduced. Technical Data to be continued at page 1 Copyright RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems GmbH 217 All rights reserved. 9
