RIEGL

High resolution survey LiDAR systems.

We are honoured to be able to offer LiDAR scanning services with selected RIEGL equipment, for both UAV and terrestrial work. RIEGL is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of high-end, pulsed time-of-flight LiDAR technology for terrestrial, mobile, airborne, and UAV scanning, with over 45 years of experience in the field.

UAV-Based Laser Scanning

RIEGL’s UAV-based laser scanning systems are the answer for the kinds of challenging environments found in Hong Kong. Only RIEGL scanners are able to capture highly detailed, survey grade data over difficult terrain and through dense vegetation cover. RIEGL’s scanner range includes some of the highest specification UAV-based LiDAR units on the market today.

AIRBORNE

UAV Scanning for Hong Kong

We are able to offer a LiDAR scanning service utilising a selection of RIEGL UAV-based scanners. All RIEGL UAV sensors leverage several signature technologies that distinguish them from entry-level mapping alternatives:

  • Waveform-LiDAR Technology: Digitise return echo signals to separate true targets from ground clutter.
  • Online Waveform Processing: Analyse complex echoes in real time during flight.
  • Multi-Target Resolution: Capture up to 5 or 15 discrete target echoes per pulse, allowing the laser beam to penetrate dense vegetation canopy to reveal the ground beneath.
  • Direct Georeferencing: Integrates easily with external or internal Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and GNSS configurations such as the proprietary RIEGL RiLOC Systems.
  • UAV bathymetric shoreline scanning using the AceCore Neo drone

  • The RIEGL VQ-840-GE Topo-Bathymetric LiDAR System on the AcreCore Neo Drone

  • The RIEGL VUX-120(23) LiDAR scanner

  • Scanning the hillside below Lion Rock with the RIEGL VUX-120(23) scanner

Terrestrial Laser Scanning

RIEGL’s terrestrial laser scanners provide detailed and highly accurate 3D data rapidly and efficiently, ideal for many of the scanning needs found in Hong Kong. Applications can be wide ranging, including topography, as-built surveying, architecture, structural monitoring, civil engineering and city modelling.

GROUND

Terrestrial Scanning in Hong Kong

We are able to offer ground-based LiDAR scanning services utilising scanners such as the RIEGL VZ-600i. This scanner offers broad capability from 0.5m right up to 1000m, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor work.

The VZ-600i offers 3D position accuracy of 3mm, less than 30 seconds of scan time for high-resolution scans, and 6mm point spacing at 10m. It is possible for us to complete more than 60 scan positions per hour, all with real-time registration.

The VZ-600i also has a unique kinematic mode, meaning it can scan on the move similar to a mobile or SLAM LiDAR system, but with much greater precision, accuracy and detail.

RIEGL’s RiSCAN PRO operating & processing software for 3D Laser Scanners allows for fast and efficient processing of your data.
