1 Leica ALS80 Airborne Laser Scanners Performance for every Application

2 Three Models, One Result. Highest Productivity in all Applications. Imagine an affordable city-mapping LIDAR system with an industry-leading 1.0 MHz pulse rate, capable of meeting your specialized needs now, and that is easily upgradable to a full-capability configuration as your business grows. Imagine producing high density point clouds for corridor, urban, flood plain or general-purpose airborne mapping in a fraction of the time it took previously. HP HA Leica ALS80-CM is designed for city and corridor mapping applications from lower flying heights. Ultra-high-density can be achieved by flying in small aircraft or mounted in helicopter pods, taking advantage of the low-profile scanner. Leica ALS80-HP is designed for generalpurpose mapping at the flying heights most widely used, and can accommodate greater terrain relief due to its higher maximum flying height. Scanner LS80-HA LS80-LP SC80 N/A ALS80-CM ALS80-HA ALS80-HP 5,000 m AGL * 1-6 PiA 3,500 m AGL * 1-6 PiA 1,600 m AGL * Ø CM System Controller SC80-CM Ø The Leica ALS80 is a single family of systems that offers this level of flexibility and productivity, without compromising on quality and accuracy. Three models, Leica ALS80-CM, Leica ALS80-HP and Leica ALS80-HA, share a common platform (high-performance laser, scanner, range counting electronics, position/attitude measurement subsystem and user interface, flight planning and execution software), to create a range of laser scanners Two Laser Scanner configurations and two System Controller configurations are combined to create the three models in the Leica ALS80 range: Ø Imagine being able to perform wide-area mapping from high altitudes to obtain nearly 8 km swath. designed to meet the varied needs of the airborne survey market. 1-5 PiA * Flying heights based on 10 % diffuse reflective target Need room to grow? No problem. The unique modular design of the Leica ALS80 offers numerous benefits, including easy growth options. Did your business start with lower-altitude corridor mapping, but is expanding? Any Leica ALS80-CM can become a Leica ALS80-HP at the user s site. Need truly high altitude performance? Leica ALS80-CM and Leica ALS80-HP can be factory-reconfigured into Leica ALS80-HA and vice versa. Expanding your business into forestry and environmental areas? Add the optional Full Waveform Digitizer at any time, at any location. Leica ALS80 a total package Leica ALS80-HA is a high-altitude variant, allowing the market s highest flying heights, for wide-area mapping on a state or national level. Leica ALS80 systems come complete with peripheral products and software that provide a seamless workflow from mission planning through point cloud generation.

3 Point Density Multiplier the key to high productivity Point Density Multiplier is a combination of optical and electronic technologies that allows a quantum increase in measurement and scan rates over that available in single-output scanners. All models in the Leica ALS80 range feature a revolutionary new system control and range measurement module. This new module significantly reduces range measurement cycle overhead, allowing pulse rates that approach the maximum theoretical limits and yielding higher pulse rates at any given altitude. In addition, this same measurement technology makes the proven MPiA feature even easier to use. Additional features of Leica ALS80 include: nn Unlimited range returns from each outbound pulse for greater detail in forest canopy nn 20 % reduction in inter-return range separation for better ground detection in low vegetation nn 25 % reduction in circuit board count for increased reliability nn 3 user-selectable scan patterns, sinusoid, triangle and raster, for unrivaled control over point pattern nn AutoScan: automatic adjustment of scan rate to keep more uniform along-track spacing as aircraft speed varies nn Optional fully-integrated Full Waveform Digitizer (FWD) for waveform data collection at up to 120 khz

4 Mission planning and system control Planning for all Leica ALS80 models is accommodated using Leica MissionPro planning and evaluation software, including optimizing both system settings as well as flight line layout. The intuitive AeroPlan pull-down menu allows manual or automated optimization of system settings in three ways: Choice of sine, triangle and raster scan patterns Leica ALS80-CM and Leica ALS80-HP models also feature a unique multiple-output scanning system. This new scanning approach allows the system to double the pulse rate and scan rate of single-output systems, without the use of multiple scanner assemblies or lasers. The elegance of this implementation adds to the stability and consistency of the high-point-density data product delivered by the system, without increasing the complexity of system control. nn Fixed settings on all lines with fixed flying altitude for all lines nn Variable settings for each line with fixed flying altitude for all lines nn Variable settings for each line with different flying altitudes for each line his third optimization mode can cut the number of flight T lines by 40 % in large-relief terrain. Leica MissionPro and Leica FlightPro fully connected to ensure proper mission execution Leica MissionPro software works hand-in-hand with Leica FlightPro flight management software, by transferring the entire mission plan, both sensor settings and flight navigation information, from planner to system in a single digital file. Direct transfer of the mission plan minimizes the chance for operator error, and ensures that the mission is flown exactly as intended. Leica FlightPro provides an information-rich user interface for both operator and pilot, allowing both crew members access to critical data on flight navigation, progress and system performance. The optional remote control software module allows the operator and pilot to view different presentations simultaneously to maximize productivity.

5 System performance Leica LS80-LP Scanner Quick, comprehensive post processing Post-flight data processing uses NovAtel Inertial Explorer for GNSS/IMU data reduction and Leica CloudPro for generation of the point cloud. NovAtel Inertial Explorer utilizes tightly-coupled GNSS/IMU data processing to allow full trajectory accuracy, even when satellites are temporarily obscured, reducing the need for inefficient and lengthy low-bank-angle turns from one flight line to the next. Leica CloudPro provides multi-threaded processing for reduced processing time and a command-line interface compatible with GeoCue job management software or your custom workflows. And the included Leica AHAB LSS Viewer allow simple, fast viewing and measurements to be made in the produced data set. Leica ALS80-CM and Leica ALS80-HP systems achieve industry-leading measurements rates of 1.0 MHz, reducing on-line flying time by up to 50 % over the previous generation of systems. Leica ALS80-HA offers an extended flying height with scan rates appropriate for wide-area data acquisition. Leica ALS80 accommodates operation with up to 6PiA operation (5PiA for Leica ALS80-CM), carrying high pulse rates to even greater flying heights.
