YellowScan Launches Enhanced LiDAR Solutions for UAVs
YellowScan has introduced upgraded versions of its LiDAR scanning solutions, the Surveyor Ultra and Explorer, designed specifically for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These innovative products will be featured at the upcoming INTERGEO 2023 exhibition in Berlin.
Lightweight and Versatile: The New Explorer
The latest iteration of the YellowScan Explorer has seen a notable weight reduction, now weighing just 1.8kg, down from 2.3kg. This change enhances its compatibility with a broader range of drone platforms. Additionally, the Explorer can now be mounted on ground-based mobile mapping vehicles, expanding its usability. A newly integrated front-facing LCD screen provides real-time updates on the system’s status,while an embedded global shutter camera has been included to facilitate colorization.
Surveyor Ultra: A Compact powerhouse
The Surveyor Ultra has also undergone a transformation, with its weight decreasing from 1.32kg to an impressive 983g. Users can now choose between an optional 20MP or 60MP single-camera module,or a 35MP dual-camera module. This model also features a new embedded global shutter camera and enhanced LED icons on the side for improved visibility, even in bright environments.
Advanced Navigation and User-Friendly Features
Both LiDAR systems have been upgraded with the Quanta Micro GNSS-aided inertial navigation solution from SBG Systems, which significantly boosts accuracy and overall performance. Moreover, YellowScan has developed a complimentary mobile request for both Android and iOS platforms. This app allows users to connect their YellowScan systems via Bluetooth, adjust LiDAR settings, and operate the systems remotely, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency.
Upcoming Demonstrations and Events
YellowScan will showcase its latest innovations not only at INTERGEO but also at the YellowScan LiDAR Convention scheduled for March 2024 in Montpellier.For more details,click here to learn more about these exciting developments.
