The CU LIDAR Profilometer and Imaging System (CULPIS) is an airborne lidar mapping system developed at the University of Colorado at Boulder. It is designed to map land and sea ice surface topography and elevation from uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). It consists of a lidar system, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a global positioning system (GPS), and digital cameras. The lidar system within CULPIS operates at 905 nm and has a measurement rate of 400 Hz. At a flight altitude of 200 m above ground level (AGL) and a flight speed of 30 meters per second, it has a lidar footprint of 60 cm and an along-track spacing of 7.5 cm.
