SUCCESS STORY

Aerial-based LiDAR
Motion Compensation & Georeferencing
BoE Systems enters the mobile mapping market with the most compact aerial-based LiDAR solution of themarket. The ELV16 Scanner is equipped with an Ellipse-D for motion compensation and data georeferencing.

BoE Systems entered the mobile
mapping industry with the ELV16
Scanner, the most compact aerial-based
LiDAR solution of the market. The ELV16
Scanner is equipped with a Velodyne
LiDAR sensor and an SBG SystemsEllipse2-D inertial navigation sensor.
The ELV16 Scanner is a versatile,
economic, and smart solution for LiDAR
data acquisition.

APPLICATION

Mobile Mapping

The ELV16 Scanner includes a complete
drone-based aerial LiDAR data collection
and control system. The ELV16 Scanner’s
success centers around a superbly
integrated Velodyne LiDAR sensor,
Ellipse2-D inertial navigation system,
GNSS antennas, an onboard computer,communication equipment,
dedicated power supply.

andThe scanner is securely mounted to a DJI
Matrice 600 Pro UAV for simple, safe,and effective access to the work site.
The ELV16 Scanner is remotely operated
through a simple yet, effective userfriendly interface. Featuring a robust
suite of continuous monitoring
capabilities, the operator can control andmonitor the streaming data acquisition
from start to finish with a few taps on asmart device or clicks on a laptop. “Youcan start your data acquisition at takeoff, or you can start the data collection
when the UAV is right on top of thespecific zone to survey, and then stop
it whenever you want” declares Jason
Littrell, founder of BoE Systems. Thisapproach allows users the flexibility
to collect only the data they require;

meaning less time on post-processing. And when it’s time
for post-processing, the ELV16 Scanner outputs the industrystandard LAS data files, which import seamlessly into all major
drafting and modeling software.

ELLIPSE2-D FOR UAV MOTION COMPENSATION AND
POINT CLOUD GEOREFERENCING
Ellipse2-D is a Dual Antenna Inertial Navigation System whichembeds an RTK GNSS receiver with post-processing capabilities.
It is widely used in the mobile mapping industry because of its
smart balance of accuracy, weight and price. Ellipse2-D provides
roll, pitch, GNSS-based heading and centimeter-level position. It
is used to compensate for the UAV motion, and thus to orient andgeo-reference the point cloud generated by the LiDAR sensor.

Ellipse2-D is factory calibrated in dynamics and temperature
which ensures a constant behavior whatever the conditions.
GNSS-based heading makes it immune to magnetic field, so theUAV can get close to power lines without disturbance. To get thebest performance, specific motion profiles have been designed,
taking into account UAV specific vehicle motion characteristics.
“We heard some good reviews about SBG sensors being usedin the surveying industry, so we conducted some tests with
the Ellipse2-D and the results were exactly what we needed”
concludes Jason.
