The Optech CLS-A is Teledyne Geospatial’s new survey-grade UAV laser scanning payload. The CLS-A enables the highest quality surveying and inspection applications where the tight integration of a powerful, narrow beam divergence laser, high accuracy kinematic IMU, calibrated camera and powerful post-processing software provides for wide area operation at the maximum operating altitude of UAVs.
Features
Survey-Grade Data
The high precision and accuracy of the CLS-A provides the accuracy required for hard surface engineering grade applications
Long Range
The CLS-A can be operated from 120m agl and still collect data from the floors of pit mines and valleys.
Vegetation Penetration
Narrow beam divergence, long range, wide scan angle, and multiple returns all enable the CLS-A to collect ground returns through dense vegetation.
Calibrated Camera
The CLS-A has a calibrated non-mechanical global shutter camera to colorize the point cloud and aid in point cloud analytics.
LMS Workflow
Data from the CLS-A is processed through the proven workflow of LMS Profession and Applanix Pospac.
North American Manufactured
The CLS-A is manufactured and supported in Canada.
Advantages
Survey-Grade Lidar data from a UAV Platform
Operate at the UAV Operating Limit of 120m and and valley floors
Camera imagery aids analytic tools
Proven workflow of LMS Professional and Applanix POSPAC
