Price Available Upon Request
The RIEGL VZ-400i is a high-performance terrestrial 3D laser scanner offering a measuring range of up to 800 m, laser pulse repetition rates up to 1.2 MHz, and data acquisition rates up to 500,000 measurements/sec. It combines automatic on-board registration, real-time geo-referencing, integrated IMU and GNSS, multiple-target capability, and cloud connectivity through Wi-Fi and 3G/4G LTE.
Product Overview
The RIEGL VZ-400i is a high-performance terrestrial 3D laser scanning system combining an advanced processing architecture, internet connectivity, and RIEGL’s waveform processing LiDAR technology.
Its dual-processing architecture enables scan-data and image-data acquisition, waveform processing, and system operation to run alongside automatic on-board registration, geo-referencing, and analysis. This allows several processing tasks to be executed in parallel during data acquisition.
The system also includes integrated 3G/4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet connectivity, along with an orientation sensor incorporating a MEMS IMU, compass, and barometer.
