YellowScan
LiDAR UAV systems for professional applications.
LiDAR technology has proven its effectiveness in providing accurate 3D aerial mapping data. UAV-mounted LiDAR solutions are increasingly used in commercial fields such as construction, forestry and mining, as well as in research applications and structural inspections of power lines, pipelines, roads or railways. Technical applications are constantly increasing and diversifying.
Designed for those who need accurate data. With the YellowScan data processing package you can quickly convert raw data into a geo-referenced point cloud.
LiDAR systems for drones are ideal for:
Optimise workflow to expand your business
Vegetation penetration
Hard to reach areas
LiDAR SOLUTIONS
LiDAR, short for “Light Detection and Ranging”, is an optical remote sensing technique that uses a laser to map the surface, producing accurate x, y and z measurements. LiDAR often represents the topology of the terrain in greater detail and accuracy than photogrammetry. Even in areas with dense vegetation, it is possible to obtain point clouds from the ground. In addition, it is not necessary to deploy control points, and it is possible to map in a low-light or no-light environment, which is not possible with photogrammetry.
APPLICATIONS
Mining
Difficult working conditions and the need for accurate elevation data in open pit mines make UAV LiDAR solutions the ultimate surveying tool worldwide.
Civil construction
From planning to final project delivery, LiDAR systems are an asset to the construction industry. Fast and easy 3D data collection with high accuracy and precision.
Surveying
The ability to map small areas of interest using LiDAR UAVs can greatly improve the pruning process, thus reducing mobilisation costs in mapping.
Forest
Forest management with detailed data to make the right decisions. Easier tree classification, more accurate modelling of canopy layers and terrain modelling.
PRODUCT COMPARISON
Our LiDAR drone product line is lightweight, fully integrated and battery-powered, and we’ve designed each system to meet the high-precision, high-accuracy needs of 3D mapping.
