Description

Overview

The AlphaUni 1300 LiDAR payload is a multi-platform LiDAR system belonging to the Alpha mobile mapping series that has been designed and improved by CHCNAV based on many years of research and data capture experience.

The AlphaUni 1300 is a fully integrated system with a high-precision laser scanner featuring Riegl’s unique Waveform-LiDAR technology and a high-accuracy inertial navigation system, ready for demanding surveying missions (either in the air or on the ground) requiring the highest data quality.

With Riegl’s premium VUX-1 LR high-speed long-range scanner, combined with industry-leading GNSS and IMU sensors, the AlphaUni 1300 was designed for the most demanding mapping applications where accuracy, high speeds and altitudes over large scan regions are a must.

With a set-up time of only 5 minutes, the AlphaUni 1300 allows users to capture reality from multiple platforms, including different UAV models, multi-rotor and fixed-wing VTOL UAS, and then switch to vehicle mode for highway measurements and high-precision maps with our advanced kit with panoramic camera or quickly switch to backpack mode when the UAV and vehicle are unable to complete the mission.

For multi-platform installation, the AlphaUni 1300 has different connection ports and support additional synchronization with DMI, GAMS (dual GNSS antenna), different cameras and other devices that support NMEA.

CHCNAV offers a complete package to add the LiDAR solution to users’ geomatics services. Fully automated reality capture and real-time mission monitoring using CoCapture field software and semi-automated point cloud processing using CoPre desktop software. Perform final feature extraction in Orbit GT software or use CoProcess CAD software.

Features

  • Scanning range up to 1350 m
