Velodyne VLP-16
This is an industrial grade sensor head. This entry-level sensor head is adequate for most basic bare earth mapping and modeling jobs

Velodyne HDE-32E
Still, industrial grade LiDAR system with increased points per second to help penetrate basic vegetation.

Velodyne VLP-32C
This high-end industrial sensor is made for resolution. This featherweight unit has increased range and the highest points per second of its class.

Riegl VUX-1 UAS
Being a survey grade sensor, this unit has the resolution the construction industry expects. With increased range, you can map faster with high accuracy.

Standard Package
Geo-hNAV™ is a hybrid dual-GPS-aided inertial navigation system which delivers consistent position and attitude measurement accuracy. The Geo-hNAV combines RTK-enabled dual-frequency, onboard data recording, and Geo-Pointer dual-antenna heading system to provide the highest levels of accuracy. For drones, a precise heading is derived from GPS measurements using two GPS antennas rigidly mounted 1 meter apart on the platform. Under dynamic conditions, the combination of GPS and IMU provides enhanced position, velocity, and attitude measurements.

** Absolution Accuracy is dependent on absolute atmospheric conditions, satellite quality, and other related factors.
Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK)

** Absolution Accuracy is dependent on absolute atmospheric conditions, satellite quality, and other related factors.
Supporting Software
QUICK TERRAIN MODELER
Quick Terrain Modeler is the world’s premier 3D point cloud and terrain visualization software package. Designed for use with LiDAR, but flexible enough to accommodate other 3D data sources, Quick Terrain Modeler provides an easy to use software experience that allows users to work with significantly more data, render larger models, analyze data faster, and export a variety of products. These benefits enable very powerfully, yet simple and intuitive, terrain exploitation.
We have found Applied Imagery’s software the easiest to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accruate is the LiDAR System?
Relative accuracy is a function of which LiDAR head and how far away from the surface you are scanning, typical relative accuracy is around 1 to 3 cm.
Absolute Accuracy we have to add the GPS solutions. GeoMMS hNAV system with just WAAS will get you 15cm of absolute accuracy. By doing Post Processing Kinetic 5 to 6 cm RMSE is possible. For more on accuracy, please see our info on LiDAR accruacy under resources.
