InterGEO2016: AltiGator and YellowScan Unveil a 5.6kg Survey-Grade LiDAR UAV all Integrated System, Ideal for Centimetric Urban Surveys

AltiGator and YellowScan are pleased to announce an ultra-light weight LiDAR UAV combo allowing for the first time centimetric UAV surveys in urban areas, in accordance with most regulations.

The YellowScan Surveyor ultra-light stand-alone LiDAR system is embedded on the OnyxStar® XENA multirotor UAV, which is the last generation professional drone designed by Altigator.

Compact, light, powerful and foldable, Xena is the result of the analysis of users’ operational needs and months of Research & Development in order to release this versatile “off-roader” type of drone.

Dust proof, it can be transported either in a small-size case, or even as a backpack, which makes it the ideal solution to perform survey, mapping, environmental and mining monitoring of areas up to 100 ha on any type of field.

With a total take-off weight of 5.6kg including the YellowScan Surveyor system, the aircraft can navigate autonomously up to 25 minutes with 1 single battery, and can also lift a combined camera to mix Lidar scanning and photogrammetry.

Years of partnership between YellowScan and Altigator and renowned references worldwide demonstrate the effectiveness of their systems.

The YellowScan Surveyor includes:
– High-end Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) allowing precision measurement of the attitude
– Dual-frequency GNSS receiver, capable of operating in RTK or PPK positioning mode
– Multi-echo laser scanner
– On-board computer for continuous data acquisition and processing
– Battery (up to 1.5 hours of autonomy)
– Worldwide technical and operational support

YellowScan Surveyor Key Specifications:
•    Precision: 4cm
•    Absolute accuracy: 5cm
•    Laser scanner frequency: 300 kHz
•    Weight: 1.5 kg battery included
•    Power consumption: 15W
•    Autonomy: 1.5 hours typ.
•    Size (mm): 100x 150 x 140

YellowScan Surveyor benefits:
•    Designed by surveyors for surveyors
•    Robust and reliable
•    Turnkey, quick and simple to operate
•    Fully autonomous, can be mounted quickly on any drone
•    Sub-decimetric accuracy and highest density for demanding survey applications
