True View 410

UAV LIDAR + Dual Camera System

The True View 410 3D Imaging Sensor (3DIS) is the first solution in the True View series. The True View 410 combines a Quanergy M8 Ultra laser scanner with dual mapping cameras, providing an integrated sensor platform for collecting 3D point clouds and color imagery in a single flight.

Description

The True View 410 is a unified imaging/LIDAR solution that provides everything needed to collect and process concurrently collected imagery and laser scanned data. Post-processing software (True View Evo) is included to process raw sensor data to a geocoded, colorized point cloud, an orthomosiac and final products such as volumetrics, gridded elevation data, contour features, cross-sections and so forth (all the features of LP360 Advanced).

The top-level specifications of the True View 410 are:

Quanergy M8 Ultra multi-return (up to three returns per pulse) laser scanner
- Effective laser range – 75m
- Pulse Repetition Rate (PRR) – 420,000 outgoing pulses per second in a 360° field of view (FOV), about 100,000 in a usable 90° FOV
Dual 20 MP Sony Exmor 1” sensor cameras with mechanical shutters, electronic mid-exposure pulse (for GNSS synchronization) and fixed focus lenses. This camera is custom built for GeoCue.
Fused imagery FOV from dual oblique cameras – 120°
Applanix APX-15 Position and Orientation System (POS)
Rigid milled aluminum main frame
Operating modes – Imagery only, laser data only, combined imagery/laser (default)
Data transfer via USB memory stick (USB Mass Storage, UMS)
> 1 Hour battery life
System is controlled via a plain text configuration file
System operation and power is totally independent from the drone platform
System mass is about 2.25 kg (including battery)
Optional mounting kit for the DJI Matrice M600

True View 410 is available as a traditional purchase or as an “evergreen” Hardware as a Service (HaaS) subscription model.
