Velodyne’s Lidar Sensors Power YellowScan’s Reliable Mobile Mapping
SAN JOSE, Calif. -Wednesday 5 August 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Velodyne Lidar, Inc. today announced two new generation
YellowScan mobile mapping systems use Velodyne’s lidar sensors to help
achieve the high precision and accuracy needed in aerial 3D mapping.
Velodyne’s powerful lidar sensors generate real-time georeferenced point
cloud data that allows YellowScan systems to accurately measure and
analyze an area so customers can avoid time-intensive, costly manual
surveys.
The
YellowScan Surveyor Ultra is a high density and long range mapping
solution equipped with a Velodyne Ultra Puck™ sensor and ideally suited
for high speed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), such as VTOL and
helicopter drones. The YellowScan Surveyor is the company’s lightest
system – at 1.6 kg including the battery – and uses a Velodyne Puck™
sensor. It is YellowScan’s most versatile UAV solution and is built for
urban surveys subject to strict flying regulations that require extra
lightweight payloads.
Both
YellowScan systems feature new designs that include an aluminum frame
to provide a stronger system structure and better heat dissipation. They
are Fly & Drive ready, able to be rapidly deployed on road vehicles
as well as on any type of UAV. A system swap between car and UAV can
take less than five minutes. Other new features include a three-color
LED that provides users with more status information and the .t04 file
is pushed directly to a memory stick, which means users no longer need a
network connection to download the IMU data.
“Our
lighter, more compact new generation systems offer improved versatility
because survey professionals can quickly deploy them at an economic
cost relative to traditional surveying methods,” said Morgane Selve,
Communication Manager, YellowScan. “Velodyne’s lidar sensors enable our
systems to be fully autonomous so they can be mounted quickly on any
drone and deliver high density level data for demanding survey
applications.”
“YellowScan’s
new generation mobile mapping systems are robust and reliable, helping
companies generate data where and when they need it,” said Dieter
Gabriel, Marketing Manager – EMEA, Velodyne Lidar. “The versatility of
Velodyne sensors allow YellowScan systems to address diverse surveying
needs for 3D mapping that only lightweight UAV lidar solutions can
meet.”
Velodyne’s
lidar sensors make it quick and easy for companies to build highly
accurate 3D models of any environment for mobile mapping. The sensors
deliver a high-resolution surround view image to accurately measure and
analyze the environment. The performance, range and compact form factor
of Velodyne sensors enable developers to design versatile systems that
can be configured to mobile mapping needs.
