The new high performance, fully integrated long-range airborne laser scanner system RIEGL LMS-Q1560 is a cutting-edge tool for a variety of airborne surveying missions. The two channel scanner makes use of powerful laser sources, Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) processing, echo digitization and waveform analysis. That allows operation at varying flight altitudes and is therefore ideally suited for aerial survey of ultra wide areas as well as of complex urban environments.

The RIEGL LMS-Q1560 can be operated at a maximum pulse repetition rate of 800 kHz providing an effective measurement rate of 532,000 mea-surements on the ground, and operates at an altitude of up to 15,500 ft. Usually occurring range ambiguities at this measurement rate are automatically resolved by RIEGL’s multiple time around processing soft-ware RiMTA, handling more than 10 pulses in the air simultaneously. This enables much faster and more efficient flight planning and safer flights.

The RIEGL LMS-Q1560 comes with a unique and innovativeforward/backward looking capability. This enables capturing data from multiple angles more effectively and more accu-rately at high point density. With its large field of view of 58 de-grees and its widely variable scan parameters the system ac-counts for highest efficiency of scan data acquisition in its class.

The system is equipped with a seamlessly integrated IMU/GNSS system.Optionally, an already available IMU sensor may be easily integra-ted; making the RIEGL LMS-Q1560 a cost-effective solution for system upgrades. An 80 megapixel RBG camera and the capability to integrate a secondary IR camera complete the system. With allindividual components integrated into one single instrument of com-pact design, suited for gyro-stabilized leveling mounts, the systeminstallation is outstandingly easy and straight-forward.

• high laser pulse repetition rateup to 800 kHz

• digitization electronics for full waveform data

• innovative forward/backward looking capability

• single multifacet polygon mirror for beam deflection

• integrated multi-megapixel aerial medium format camera

• integrated secondary camera(e.g. IR-camera)

• integrated inertial navigation system and GNSS receiver

• fiber coupled high speed data inter-face to single RIEGL Data Recorder

• single power supply

• various interfaces to external cameras, GNSS etc.

• mounting flange for interfacing with typical hatches and stabilized platforms

• compact and robust housing

Applications: • Ultra Wide Area / High Altitude Mapping • Mapping of Complex Urban Environments • Glacier & Snowfield Mapping • City Modeling • Mapping of Lakesides & River Banks • Agriculture & Forestry • Corridor Mapping

RIEGL LMS-Q1560 Housing

Each channel delivers straight parallel scan lines. The scan lines of the two channels are tilted against each other by 28 degrees providing an optimum distribution of the measurements on the ground invariant to changes in terrain height.

Example: LMS-Q1560 at 600,000 pulses/sec, laser power level 100% Results: Point Density ~ 6.2 pts/m² Spatial Sampling Frequency ~ 1.38 pts/mCovered Area per Time ~ 180 km²/h

Altitude = 5100ft AGL, Speed = 70 kn

The following conditions are assumed for the Operating Flight Altitude AGL• ambiguity resolved by multiple-time-around (MTA) processing & flight planning

Assumptions for calculation of the Covered Area per Time• 20% overlap of neighboring flight strips. This overlap covers a roll angle of ±5° or a reduction of flight altitude AGL of 20%.• target size ≥ laser footprint

• scan angle 60°• average ambient brightness• roll angle ±5°

Definition of the Spatial Sampling Frequency• The Spatial Sampling Frequency is the reciprocal of the 95th percentile of the distribution function of the maximum distances between neighboring scan points. When considering any individual scan point, the probability to find its most distant neighbor within the reciprocal of the Spatial Sampling Frequency is 95%.

The following conditions are assumed for the Operating Flight Altitude AGL• ambiguity resolved by multiple-time-around (MTA) processing & flight planning

Assumptions for calculation of the Covered Area per Time• 20% overlap of neighboring flight strips. This overlap covers a roll angle of ±5° or a reduction of flight altitude AGL of 20%.• target size ≥ laser footprint

• scan angle 60°• average ambient brightness• roll angle ±5°

Definition of the Spatial Sampling Frequency• The Spatial Sampling Frequency is the reciprocal of the 95th percentile of the distribution function of the maximum distances between neighboring scan points. When considering any individual scan point, the probability to find its most distant neighbor within the reciprocal of the Spatial Sampling Frequency is 95%.

11) Limitation for range measurement capability, does not considerlaser safety!

12) Standard deviation one sigma @ 250 m range under RIEGL testconditions.

13) Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity to its actual (true) value.

14) Precision, also called reproducibility or repeatability, is the degree to which further measurements show the same result.

15) Measured at the 1/e2 points. 0.25 mrad correspond to an increase of 25 cm of beam diameter per 1000 m distance.

16) Practically limited only by the maximum data rate allowed for the RIEGL Data Recorder.

17) Minimum scan speed increasing linearly to106 lines/sec @ 800 000 Hz PRR @ laser power ≥ 50%

18) Minimum scan speed increasing linearly to54 lines/sec @ 800 000 Hz PRR @ laser power < 50%
