Altm Pegasus Sensor Design: a New Paradigm in Lidar Technology Innovation

نویسنده

  • Michael R. Sitar
چکیده

The evolution of airborne lidar mapping systems has been largely driven toward ever-increasing laser pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) for higher density model applications. The greater pulse rates increase the density of points on the ground, providing a higher resolution and detailed representation of the target surface. In combination with an appropriate scanning system, they can provide more efficient area coverage capability to improve survey efficiency and reduce collection costs.

Pegasus: Design of a Stratospheric Long Endurance Uav System for Remote Sensing

The PEGASUS (Policy support for European Governments by Acquisition of information from Satellite and UAV borne Sensors) project’s aim is to provide an economic way to gather high resolution data (visual, IR and thermal imagery, LIDAR, SAR, atmospheric measurements) from a high altitude platform. Because the platform will not be manned, it will be able to operate continuously for weeks or month...

Assessment of Airborne Lidar and Imaging Technology for Pipeline Mapping and Safety Applications

Safe pipeline transportation of energy resources is a major concern for the public. Since a pipeline has been built and buried, geologic hazards, corrosions and third-party damages all pose cumulative internal and environmental risks to the pipeline’s integrity. As today’s pipeline engineering and operation become more reliant on geospatial data for safety in the pipeline’s life cycle of design...
