Riegl UAV Lidar Sensor
Riegl Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Lidar Sensor

The Riegl Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Lidar Sensors are lidar systems made by Riegl Laser Measurement Systems, designed for use on UAVs. These sensors are more compact and lightweight than Riegl's airborne lidar systems. They are commonly used for topographic mapping in remote areas for agricultural, forestry, and geological applications. They can have a field of view up to 360 degrees, scan speeds of up to 200 scans per second, and an accuracy of 10 mm.
