mdLiDAR1000UHR: THE BEST LIDAR POINT DENSITY AND DATA QUALITY

mdLiDAR1000UHR means ultra-high resolution via a 32-channel LiDAR sensor, fully integrated with an improved 72.5° field of view camera. This translates to more point density, better detail, and improved deliverables. The survey equipment, LP360 Drone software, workflow, training, and support work together to make you more productive than ever.

Don’t need the full resolution of 32-channel UHR? We offer a cost competitive UHR Lite configuration, delivering 16 channels of LiDAR that can easily be upgraded later via a firmware update.

Who Should Consider This System:
Professionals responsible for geospatial data collection should consider mdLiDAR1000UHR to support the following tasks.
– Digital twin creation and maintenance
– Corridor mapping
– Mining (volume calculation)
– Construction site monitoring
– Environmental changes (time series)
– Forestry
– Contour mapping
– Planning, leveling, excavation
– Archaeology and cultural heritage
– Highway construction
– Precision agriculture

LiDAR SURVEY EQUIPMENT + LP360 DRONE = EXTREME GEOSPATIAL PRODUCTIVITY, NOW IN ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION

Microdrones has developed an end-to-end LiDAR solution combining a drone, a LiDAR payload, a fully integrated LiDAR processing and photogrammetry software workflow, and world class support to consistently provide quality deliverables.

mdLiDAR1000UHR and UHR Lite is a fully integrated system for producing 3D pointclouds optimized for land surveying, construction, oil & gas and mining applications.

Improved image acquisition precisely configured to match the laser scanner field of view enables compatibility with streamlined data processing modules within LP360. .

Each LiDAR channel of the mdLiDAR1000UHR and UHR Lite is boresight calibrated to improve the data consistency, therefore providing a reduced Standard Measurement Uncertainty.

  4. VISUALIZE – VIDEO
    – Final pointcloud in standard ASPRS LAS format, View your deliverable in LP360 Drone software, or export to use within any GIS or CAD software environment that you currently use.

THE POWER OF DIRECT GEOREFERENCING
Direct georeferencing is a highly accurate and efficient method of collecting georeferenced data. While traditional surveying methods (aerial triangulation), RTK, and PPK all require some of the data to be calculated, DG systems actually measure X, Y, and Z in real time – yielding superior results that will save you significant time on the job.

How does it do this?
While the exceptional results from these systems are due to the entire combination of integrated components, one is of elevated importance: the Applanix APX-15 UAV.
APX-15 combines two key parts: a GNSS receiver chip and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that instantly measures the orientation angles of the aircraft.
