RiSOLVE

4700m
2 MHz

The ultra-high performance, fully integrated and calibrated Dual Channel Airborne
Mapping System RIEGL VQ-1560i is well
prepared for fulfilling the challenging
demands of even complex airborne
mapping missions.
BasedonRIEGL’ssophisticatedWaveform-LiDAR
technology,
thesystem is capable of online waveform
processing as well as full or smart
waveform recording, thus delivering
highly informative scan data forpost processing.
The system is equipped witha
seamlessly
integrated
high performance IMU/GNSS
system and an optional primary 100 megapixels RGBcamera as well as a secondary thermal or a NIR camera.

Dual Channel Waveform Processing
Airborne LiDAR Mapping System
Typical Applications• Ultra Wide Area / High Altitude Mapping • High Point Density Mapping • Mapping of Complex Urban Environments• City Modeling • Glacier & Snowfield Mapping • Mapping of Lakesides & River Banks • Agriculture & Forestry • Corridor Mapping
