As the surveying community continue to adopt UAV-based surveying methods into their workflows, Clogworks and RIEGL UK created a webinar to highlight the fundamentals of UAV LiDAR scanning.
In this webinar, we discuss the things to consider when it comes to aircraft selection. Highlighting aspects like the levels of performance and redundancy required to effectively and safely lift a heavy LiDAR based payload.
We then explore the topic of "futureproofing" an aircraft, where we focus on the importance of being able to retrofit items further down the line of your operations. This allows customers to simply replace or add an item to the aircraft at a later date, ensuring they can continue to make good use of the aircraft without having to worry about it being outdated and needing to be replaced with an entirely new system altogether. This helps operators maximise their ROI and hugely reduces the need to replace their UAV systems every few years.
RIEGL UK also present the essentials of LiDAR scanning, highlighting the levels of precision & accuracy, comparisons with other forms of UAV-based surveying methods and what sets RIEGL apart from competitors in the LiDAR sector.
Jonathan also discusses mission planning and the variables to take into consideration to create the perfect LiDAR scan.
