VQ - 480
General Information - Riegl VQ-480
TThe new RIEGL VQ-480 Airborne Laser Scanner provides high speed, non-contact data acquisition using narrow infrared laser beam and a fast line scanning mechanism.
High-accuracy laser ranging is based on RIEGL“s unique echo digitization and online waveform analysis, which allows achieving superior measurement results even under adverse atmospheric conditions, and the evaluation of multiple target echoes.
The scanning mechanism is based on a fast rotating multi-facet polygonal mirror, which provides fully linear, unidirectional and parallel scan lines. The RIEGL VQ-480 is a very compact and lightweight scanner, mountable in any orientation and even under limited space conditions on helicopters or UAVs. The instrument needs one power supply and provides line scan data via the integrated LAN-TCP/IP interface. The binary data stream can easily be decoded by user-designed software making use of the available software library RiVLib.
