Phoenix LiDAR
WHY WE LIKE THESE SYSTEMS
Phoenix LiDAR lightweight sensors provide precise, laser-accurate, survey-grade data to provide a 3D map of vegetation, infrastructure, and land. These sensors offer imaging options for hi-resolution photos, thermal, hyperspectral sensing and more. The laser technology penetrates vegetation and provides precise and complex vertical structural data for forestry and agricultural purposes, slope modelling and volumetric measurements for the mining industry, as well as identifies challenging infrastructure day or night.
Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK GNSS) software on all our aircraft enables you to collect your data with centimetre accuracy and make adjustments live while scanning with LiDAR sensors in the field, ensuring that you get what you need the first time.
WHAT IS LiDAR?
LiDAR, short for Light Detection and Ranging, is an active, remote sensing method used for an array of applications. It uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) through vegetation to the Earth. The system is able to capture accurate surface data by measuring the time it takes for the laser to return to its source.
UNDERSTANDING LiDAR
LiDAR 3D mapping is a versatile technology that, unlike passive sensing methods such as photogrammetry, can penetrate vegetation and operate in dark lighting situations. LiDAR is a more applicable, user-friendly technology providing data that is faster and easier to process.
Phoenix LiDAR’s aerial solutions allow you to scan area swaths faster and with more consistent results than using current ground scan technologies, whether they’re utilizing terrestrial or mobile mapping methods.
The technique we use in our aircraft to derive centimeter level precision is called Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK GNSS). This system uses the satellite signal’s carrier wave in addition to the information content of the signal and relies on a single GNSS reference station to provide real-time corrections. By fusing this information with the LiDAR data, a point-cloud is generated and visualized in real-time using Phoenix Aerial Spatial Explorer.
Phoenix Aerial LiDAR solutions are engineered to attach to almost any vehicle and for the first time, the accompanying software is just as flexible as the module. By splitting sensor control and user interface into separate parts, aerial mapping, ground mapping, and real time point cloud advantages are possible.
