Introduced for the primary time at Intergeo 2023, RiLOC®-E gained a variety of curiosity out there. RIEGL intensified their efforts in growth and after an intensive section of testing, collection manufacturing has began. Finish of June, the primary miniVUX-3UAV LiDAR sensors outfitted with this new absolutely built-in subsystem for localization and orientation left the premises in Horn.
“The Enterprise is off to begin”, confirms Michael Mayer, Managing Director RiCOPTER UAV GmbH, who’s liable for gross sales and assist in that phase. “Typically inquiries from the UAV-based laser scanning sector come from freshmen, who worth the best information high quality however don’t have any massive expertise in dealing with information acquisition by drone. With the RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV with RiLOC-E, we provide them now a survey-grade however on the identical easy-to-use resolution to achieve first expertise in UAV-based laser scanning. And all this at a superb cost-benefit ratio.”

What’s RiLOC®-E?
RiLOC-E is a completely built-in subsystem for localization and orientation (Localization/Orientation Component) that’s absolutely built-in to the RIEGL miniVUX-series UAV LiDAR sensors. This particular model of the miniVUX-SYS features a Micro Electromechanical System (MEMS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a GNSS unit, and acceptable software program. All parts are included in a compact and light-weight housing, that’s immediately connected to the miniVUX-1UAV and respectively miniVUX-3UAV laser scanner.
“The mixture of a miniVUX collection LiDAR sensor and the RiLOC-E right into a compact full LiDAR system is the perfect resolution for small-scale LiDAR surveying with drones. In such functions, utilizing a close-by native base station ensures the shortest base size and thus most accuracy within the georeferencing of the high-precision LiDAR information from the RIEGL miniVUX collection LiDAR sensor. A extremely environment friendly and user-oriented information processing and visualization workflow is made potential with the corresponding RIEGL processing software program RiPROCESS, which implements progressive measurement and processing routines.”, explains Philipp Amon, RIEGL ULS Enterprise Division Supervisor.
User-Friendliness First and Foremost
To work out the right flight path (trajectory) is the important part in airborne laser scanning and the premise for the precise positioning of particular person flight strips. With the RIEGL miniVUX-SYS with RiLOC-E, an preliminary trajectory is first calculated on the premise of GNSS and base station information. In an progressive analysis course of, the uncooked information and LiDAR floor comparisons are used to enhance the trajectory and refine the recorded LiDAR information. That additionally permits an optimization of the acquisition time within the air.
As all parameters are set earlier than take-off, the operator can focus absolutely on finishing up a secure flight. No user enter is required earlier than beginning information acquisition. If essential, the LiDAR system could be operated fully independently of the UAV platform. The corresponding software program ensures largely automated and, above all, immediate processing. If requested, first outcomes could be visualized onsite and permit for an acceptable and rapid response after assessment.
Because the RIEGL miniVUX-SYS with RiLOC-E could be very light-weight (simply 1.75 kg / 2.2 lbs), integration to a variety of drones is feasible. One other plus level is the straightforward dealing with when integrating onto drones. The system could be built-in onto the user’s drone immediately onsite and configured utilizing the software program provided – a very nice reduction for worldwide use!
Survey-grade Knowledge High quality – even for Newcomers
The RIEGL miniVUX-SYS with RiLOC-E offers uncomplicated and quick georeferenced information units at highest high quality for a variety of functions, like hall mapping and energy line monitoring. The workflow for information acquisition and processing has been optimized and allows even newcomers to make use of the system efficiently within the area. Customers are capable of ship high-accuracy, extremely informative measurement information of the initiatives in query – additionally assembly the necessities of high-end clients.
Michael Mayer summarizes, “The RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV laser scanner mixed with the RiLOC-E subsystem offers glorious information high quality and ease of use. Reliability and longevity are assured by RIEGL’s confirmed buyer assist – all in all, an optimum price/profit consequence for customers, particularly newcomers in UAV-based laser scanning.”
