NEW RIEGLVMY -1®

270m300kHz

optional

The RIEGL VMY-1 is an extremely compact, economically priced Mapping System of small dimensions, that is well suited for a variety ofbasic mobile mapping applications.
The central part of the system is the RIEGL
miniVUX-HA LiDAR sensor providing 125 scanlines / second and up to 300 kHz Pulse
Repetion Rate.
The optional integration of up to fourcameras (DSLR camera(s) and / or FLIR
Ladybug®5+ spherical camera) allows
simultaneous acquisition of images tocomplement the measurement data.
The innovative design of the systemenables folding for convenient transport and space-saving storage.
An easy-to-use interface, accessible via laptop, and the RIEGL
data acquisition software facilitate the operator's task in thefield by providing real-timevisualization of the acquired
scan data and imagery.

Extremely Compact
Single Scanner Mobile Mapping System
Typical Applications• GIS Mapping & Asset Management • Transportation Infrastructure Mapping • HD Mapping for Autonomous Vehicles •City Modeling • Rapid Capture of Construction Sites and Bulk Material • Open-Pit Mine Surveying • As-Built Surveyingwww.riegl.com

PRELIMINA1) Rounded values.
2) Typical values for average conditions. Maximum range is specified for flat targets with size in excess of the laser beam diameter, perpendicular angle of incidence,and for atmospheric visibility of 23 km. In bright sunlight, the max. range is shorter than under overcast sky.
3) If more than one target is hit, the total laser transmitter power is split and, accordingly, the achieveable range is reduced.
4) Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value.
5) Precision, also called reproducibility or repeatability, is the degree to which further measurements show the same result.
6) One sigma @ 50 m range under RIEGL test conditions.
7) Degraded precision on targets with very low reflectivity below 1.5 m range.
8) Equivalent to revolutions per second.
