Dual Channel Waveform Processing Airborne LiDAR Scanning System for High-Point Density and Ultra-Wide Area Mapping
Airborne Laser Scanning
visit our website www.riegl.com
The new ultra-high performance, fully integrated and calibratedDual Channel Airborne Mapping System RIEGL VQ-1560i makes use of RIEGL‘s sophisticated Waveform-LiDAR technologyenabling an excellent multiple-target detection capability andMultiple-Time-Around (MTA) processing. The system is capable ofonline waveform processing as well as full or smart waveform recording,resulting in unsurpassed information content on each single target.
The new VQ-1560i provides a laser pulse repetition rate of up to 2 MHzresulting in more than 1.3 million measurements per second on the ground and operates at an altitude of up to 15,500 ft. That allows operation at varying flight altitudes resulting in a wide range of point densities. Thus, the system is ideally suited for aerial survey of ultra- wide areas as well as of complex urban environments. By the way, faster and more efficient flight planning and safer flights are enabled.
The RIEGL VQ-1560i comes with a unique and innovative forward/backward scan angle. This enables capturing data from multiple angles more effectively and more accurately at a high point density. With its large field of view of 58 degrees and its widely variable scan parameters the system enables highly efficient scan data acquisition.
The system is equipped with a seamlessly integrated high performance IMU/GNSS unit and an optional 100 megapixelRGB camera as well as another camera, e.g. a thermalcamera or a 100 megapixels near-infrared camera. All individualcomponents are integrated into a compact housing, featuring a mounting flange for interfacing typical hatches or gyro-stabilized leveling mounts.
• high laser pulse repetition rate up to 2 MHz
• up to 1.33 million measurements per second on the ground
• offers data acquisition at a wide range of point densities
• two waveform processing LiDAR channels offering excellent multiple target detection capability
• enables Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) processing of up to 20 pulses simultaneously in the air
• offers online waveform processing as well as smart and full waveform recording
• 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 with typical hatches and stabilized platforms
• detachable handgrips for facilitated handling
Applications: • Ultra Wide Area / High Altitude Mapping • High Point Density Mapping • Mapping of Complex Urban Environments • Glacier & Snowfield Mapping • City Modeling • Mapping of Lakesides & River Banks • Agriculture & Forestry • Corridor Mapping

Productivity of the VQ-1560i when using both channels and a typical fixed-wing aircraft, e.g. a DA42 MPP.
Very high point densities can be achieved when using the VQ-1560i with a helicopter, e.g. an EC120.
For maximizing the productivity of the VQ-1560i at low point densities an aircraft with a high maximum speed, e.g. up to 315 kn, is necessary.
The RIEGL VQ-1560i Dual Channel Airborne Mapping System offers highest productivity.

Range amiguities have to be resolved by multiple-time-around processing. 4) Typical values for reflectivity ≥ 60 %, max. effective FOV 58°, additional roll angle ± 5° 5) Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance, based upon MPE according to IEC 60825-1:2014, for single line condition6) Extended Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance, based upon MPE according to IEC 60825-1:2014, for single line condition7) NOHD and ENOHD have been calculated for a typical angular step width of 0.012° (which means non-overlapping laser footprints), and an aircraft speed higher than 10 kn. NOHD and ENOHD increase when using overlapping laser footprints which may be intended e.g. for power line mapping.

8) Limitation for range measurement capability, does not consider laser safety issues! The minimum range for valid reflectivity values is 250 m.
9) Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value.
10) Standard deviation one sigma @ 250 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) Measured at the 1/e points. 0.18 mrad correspond to an increase of 18 cm of beam diameter per 1000 m distance.
13) Measured at the 1/e2 points. 0.25 mrad correspond to an increase of 25 cm of beam diameter per 1000 m distance.
14) Depending on laser pulse repetition rate, up to a max. of 15 targets per laser pulse.
15) 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.
16) The minimum scan rate depends on the selected laser PRR.
17) The minimum angular step width depends on the selected laser PRR.
18) The maximum angular step width is limited by the maximum scan rate.
