RIEGL VQ-1560i

The RIEGL VQ-1560i Airborne LiDAR, owned and operated by Feiyan Remote Sensing, is an ultra-high-performance professional surveying device integrated with dual-wavelength waveform processing technology. Specifically designed for ultra-large-area mapping and high-density point cloud acquisition scenarios, it features two laser channels supporting simultaneous green laser and near-infrared (NIR) measurement. With an ultra-high laser pulse repetition rate and multi-cycle echo processing capability, it enables rapid wide-area coverage during medium-to-high altitude operations while delivering high-fidelity, high-density point cloud data. Its unique forward/nadir/backward scanning function and wide field of view design can accurately capture complex terrain and ground object details. Combined with flexible integration features and industrial-grade stable quality, it serves as a core equipment for Feiyan Remote Sensing to provide high-quality services in large-scale national land surveying, smart city construction, ecological environment monitoring and other fields.
