—
Optech, the world leader in the development, manufacture and support of
advanced LiDAR and camera survey instruments, is pleased to announce the
release of the Optech Pegasus HA500 ALTM, a purpose-built wide-area mapping
sensor that is expressly focused on maximizing collection efficiency.
Capable
of altitudes up to 5000 m AGL (16,500 ft), this powerful new sensor has the
unique ability to collect multi-beam LiDAR data throughout its entire operating
envelope, for industry-leading point cloud density and accuracy at any
altitude. With two new high-performance
lasers and an embedded 60-MP digital metric camera, the efficiency of the
Pegasus HA500 eclipses all other commercial airborne lidar mapping sensors
available to date.
“Our
clients have been demanding an active sensor for day/night use that not only
combines high altitude collection efficiency with high point density, but also
provides the point precision, accuracy and tree canopy penetration that only a
LiDAR sensor can provide,” commented Michael Sitar, Optech's Airborne Business
and Product Manager. “The Pegasus HA500 is the culmination of that effort, in
that it’s unique twin-laser configuration ensures the same data fidelity and
measurement precision irrespective of the number of beams, unlike lesser
single-laser multi-beam designs."
The
Pegasus HA500 also incorporates many of the same productivity-focused
performance features as the Optech Orion ALTM sensors. The Orion sensors are
popular for their ultra-compact size, flexibility in installation, and
scalability with external peripheral sensors, which enable custom yet seamless
multi-sensor configurations. Performance features common to both ALTMs include:
real-time point display for in-air true coverage verification; a real-time
in-air LAS file generator for rapid response applications that demand immediate
high-accuracy data delivery possible only with its Omni STAR™-enabled POS™
system; LiDAR auto-calibration software incorporating rigorous least-squares
adjustment methods for exceptional data quality and accuracy quantification;
and full compatibility with the latest true 12-bit Optech IWD-2 Intelligent
Waveform Digitizer.
