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