AERIAL OPTIONS

M600

SCOUT UAV LiDAR + Dual RGB Cameras

This colored point cloud features data from our entry-level Scout system with dual RGB cameras, which covered 120 degrees of swath and offered excellent oblique color. At 40 meters AGL, the Scout mapped the area with accuracy within 1 cm. This system is ideal for applications requiring oblique imagery, like open pit mining, etc.

miniRANGER UAV LiDAR + RGB Camera

We perform strenuous tests on every Phoenix LiDAR system. This point cloud shows data from one of our favorite testing sites, which allows us to scan various types of material, elevation, vegetation, and structures. These real-world scenarios enable our technicians to calibrate each system before delivery to clients.

miniRANGER UAV LiDAR + Dual RGB Camera (300 m Swath in Single Flight Line)

miniRANGER-UAV-LiDAR-System-300-meter-RGB-color-swath-Phoenix-LiDAR-Systems-e1519950498341

Part of our ongoing research and development testing new configurations. In this point cloud, our miniRANGER system collects an impressive 300 meters of RGB data in a single flight line. The LiDAR system is flying perpendicular to the concrete structure, and its integrated cameras collect a swath of color data in the center. Try using the ruler tool to measure the swath!

miniRANGER UAV LiDAR in Vegetation Scanning and Penetration

One of the strengths of the miniRANGER system is its ability to acquire precise data in densely vegetated areas, enabling surveyors to capture dense point cloud information of the ground beneath foliage that would ordinarily be an obstacle for photogrammetry systems. Combining LiDAR and an RGB camera, this system captures elevations, creeks and rivers, and human infrastructure in one mission.

miniRANGER UAV LiDAR + UAV Hyperspectral

The fusion of data from our miniRANGER LiDAR system with UAV Hyperspectral imagery greatly increases the information that we can extract from a site survey. In this example, we performed a k-means unsupervised classification using the full 270 spectral band VNIR hyperspectral data cube to group vegetation types in the segmented LiDAR point cloud. This is just scratching the surface of what can be achieve with UAV LiDAR + Hyperspectral imagery.

RANGER LR + UAV LiDAR in Power Utilities

This combination of the RANGER LR with a standard M600 UAV showcases one of Phoenix LiDAR’s most popular solutions. The ability to map power utilities has been an ongoing challenge because of the small size of power lines and frequent vegetation obstruction. Post-processing further enhances usability by introducing classifications whereby can toggle on/off vegetation, structures, etc.

Vapor 55

RANGER LR + Vapor 55 UAV LiDAR in Disaster Response: Landslide Mapping

When disaster strikes, utilities and municipalities must react immediately to begin recovery. Among the first tasks is to gauge the scope of damage to critical infrastructure, like roads, power lines, communications equipment, etc. Phoenix LiDAR systems penetrate vegetation to enable responsible parties to locate power lines and other obscured equipment. Mounting a Phoenix payload on a UAV decreases the time and cost of information gathering when resources may be scarce.
