YellowScan Mapping Systems Rely on Velodyne Lidar Sensors to Meet Demanding Needs of Survey
Professionals
Velodyne’s Lidar Sensors Power YellowScan’s Reliable
Mobile Mapping
Velodyne Lidar, Inc. today announced two new generation
YellowScan mobile mapping systems use Velodyne’s lidar
sensors to help achieve the high precision and accuracy
needed in aerial 3D mapping. Velodyne’s powerful lidar
sensors generate real-time georeferenced point cloud data
that allows YellowScan systems to accurately measure and
analyze an area so customers can avoid time-intensive,
costly manual surveys.
The YellowScan Surveyor Ultra is a high density and long
range mapping solution equipped with a Velodyne Ultra
Puck™ sensor and ideally suited for high speed unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV), such as VTOL and helicopter drones.
The YellowScan Surveyor is the company’s lightest system
– at 1.6 kg including the battery – and uses a Velodyne
Puck™ sensor. It is YellowScan’s most versatile UAV
solution and is built for urban surveys subject to strict
flying regulations that require extra lightweight payloads.
Both YellowScan systems feature new designs that include
an aluminum frame to provide a stronger system structure
and better heat dissipation. They are Fly & Drive ready, able
to be rapidly deployed on road vehicles as well as on any
type of UAV. A system swap between car and UAV can take
less than five minutes. Other new features include a three-
color LED that provides users with more status information
and the .t04 file is pushed directly to a memory stick, which
means users no longer need a network connection to
download the IMU data.
“Our lighter, more compact new generation systems offer
improved versatility because survey professionals can
quickly deploy them at an economic cost relative to
traditional surveying methods,” said Morgane Selve,
Communication Manager, YellowScan. “Velodyne’s lidar
sensors enable our systems to be fully autonomous so they
can be mounted quickly on any drone and deliver high
density level data for demanding survey applications.”
“YellowScan’s new generation mobile mapping systems are
robust and reliable, helping companies generate data
where and when they need it,” said Dieter Gabriel,
Marketing Manager – EMEA, Velodyne Lidar. “The versatility
of Velodyne sensors allow YellowScan systems to address
diverse surveying needs for 3D mapping that only
lightweight UAV lidar solutions can meet.”
Velodyne’s lidar sensors make it quick and easy for
companies to build highly accurate 3D models of any
environment for mobile mapping. The sensors deliver a
high-resolution surround view image to accurately measure
and analyze the environment. The performance, range and
compact form factor of Velodyne sensors enable developers
to design versatile systems that can be configured to
mobile mapping needs.
