Geo-MMS LiDAR

Geo-MMS LiDAR

GEO-MMS: LiDAR & Photogrammetry Solutions Powerful. Customizable. Cost-Effective.

Geo-MMS LiDAR is a LiDAR mapping payload for drone or ground vehicles. Geo-MMS LiDAR includes a high-performance dual-antenna inertial navigation system coupled with an on-board LiDAR sensor. Raw sensor data is processed in real-time or post-mission using Geodetics' extensive software suite to provide high-accuracy directly geo-referenced LiDAR point clouds in the LAS format. Geo-MMS LiDAR is compatible with Geodetics' Point&Pixel product for creating colorized LiDAR point clouds.

Description

What is Geo-MMS?

AEVEX’s Geo-MMS (Mobile Mapping System) is a cost-efficient, modular system for drone-based LiDAR and imagery capture solutions. Our three product categories and bundle options cater to various unique applications, use cases and mission challenges. AEVEX’s extensive suite of ‘one-click’ advanced processing software provides a powerful, user-friendly toolbox for mobile and UAV-based mapping operations.

At the heart of Geo-MMS is AEVEX’s dual-antenna Inertial Navigation System (INS), with tight coupling of LiDAR, RGB, multispectral and other sensors. This Defense-grade proprietary navigation technology has been refined over AEVEX’s 20+ year history to a lightweight, platform-agnostic system that can be deployed in minutes.
