The
RIEGL VQ-780i scanning mechanism – based on a continuously rotating polygon mirror wheel – delivers straight parallel scan lines resulting in a regular point pattern on the ground. With equal spatial sampling frequency along and across track, object extents are well defined and even small objects may be detected. The instrument is perfectly suited for applications where a superior point pattern on target surfaces is required.
The wide field of view and the multiple-time-around measurement capability of the
RIEGL VQ-780i make the instrument perfectly suited for wide area mapping applications. The instrument has been designed for utmost efficiency in collecting data by enabling scanning operations from high altitudes at high laser pulse repetition rates simultaneously, reducing the necessary flight time to a minimum.
