Riegl UAV Lidar Sensor
Riegl Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Lidar Sensor

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