Falcon
LiDAR Sensor
Falcon Scan Pattern
Complete and homogenous coverage of the strip and lot of measurement overlaps o Highest data quality. Up to 6,5 measurements per m2. Best available final products (DEM’s) lead to highly satisfied customers
Parts of Falcon
IMU, LIDAR scanner and RGB/CIR scanner mounted on a single 15mm thick carbon fiber plastic plate.
Invariant position under all mission conditions. Needs to be calibrated only once. No further calibration due to user or operator required. No inaccuracies e.g. due to change of temperature during a mission.
