Leica ScanStation C10

The Leica ScanStation C10 is a ground-based high-definition surveying (HDS) scanner manufactured by Leica Geosystems. It provides terrestrial lidar scanning (TLS) point cloud measurements to determine canopy structure and surface topography. It operates at 532 nm wavelength and has a scan rate of up to 50,000 points per second. It has a range resolution of 130 to 300 m, depending on the albedo of the surface.
