RIEGL LiDAR News 2026 for UAV Applications
With the new miniVUX-4UAV, RIEGL is expanding its range of proven miniaturized VUX-UAV LiDAR sensors. This extremely lightweight laser scanner now acquires data at a laser pulse repetition rate (PRR) of up to 400 kHz. Within 120° field of view, this enables up to 133,333 measurements per second on the ground at a scan speed of up to 150 scans/sec.
The now more tightly focused laser beam with a footprint of 125×50 mm at 100 m distance ensures maximum spatial resolution with improved accuracy of 12 mm and precision of 8 mm. The miniVUX-4UAV is therefore advantageous for reliable object detection in complex environments. Its multi target capability allows a single laser pulse to provide echoes from several targets located at different ranges. In combination with echo signal digitization and online waveform processing capability, these targets can be measured with high accuracy, thus providing ideally-suited measurement data for applications in forestry, archaeology and cultural heritage documentation, corridor mapping, or construction site monitoring.
The miniVUX-4UAV can be supplied as a stand-alone scanner for use in application-specific configurations, but is also available as a system solution with integrated cameras and an IMU/GNSS unit – such as the RIEGL RiLOC systems RiLOC-E-25 and RiLOC-F.
