Introduced for the primary time at Intergeo 2023, RiLOC®-E gained a number of curiosity available in the market. RIEGL intensified their efforts in improvement and after an intensive section of testing, collection manufacturing has began. Finish of June, the primary miniVUX-3UAV LiDAR sensors geared up with this new totally built-in subsystem for localization and orientation left the premises in Horn.
“The Business is off to a good start”, confirms Michael Mayer, Managing Director RiCOPTER UAV GmbH, who’s accountable for gross sales and assist in that section. “Often inquiries from the UAV-based laser scanning sector come from beginners, who value the highest data quality but have no big experience in handling data acquisition by drone. With the RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV with RiLOC-E, we offer them now a survey-grade but at the same easy-to-use solution to gain first experience in UAV-based laser scanning. And all this at an excellent cost-benefit ratio.”

What’s RiLOC®-E?
RiLOC-E is a totally built-in subsystem for localization and orientation (Localization/Orientation Component) that’s totally 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 applicable software program. All parts are included in a compact and light-weight housing, that’s immediately hooked up to the miniVUX-1UAV and respectively miniVUX-3UAV laser scanner.
“The combination of a miniVUX series LiDAR sensor and the RiLOC-E into a compact complete LiDAR system is the ideal solution for small-scale LiDAR surveying with drones. In such applications, using a nearby local base station ensures the shortest base length and thus maximum accuracy in the georeferencing of the high-precision LiDAR data from the RIEGL miniVUX series LiDAR sensor. A highly efficient and user-oriented data processing and visualization workflow is made possible with the corresponding RIEGL processing software RiPROCESS, which implements innovative measurement and processing routines.”, explains Philipp Amon, RIEGL ULS Enterprise Division Supervisor.
Consumer-Friendliness First and Foremost
To work out the proper flight path (trajectory) is the important element 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 knowledge. In an revolutionary analysis course of, the uncooked knowledge and LiDAR floor comparisons are used to enhance the trajectory and refine the recorded LiDAR knowledge. 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 totally on finishing up a secure flight. No consumer enter is required earlier than beginning knowledge acquisition. If obligatory, the LiDAR system might be operated utterly independently of the UAV platform. The corresponding software program ensures largely automated and, above all, immediate processing. If requested, first outcomes might be visualized onsite and permit for an applicable and fast response after evaluate.
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 might be built-in onto the consumer’s drone immediately onsite and configured utilizing the software program provided – a very nice reduction for worldwide use!
Survey-grade Information High quality – even for Newcomers
The RIEGL miniVUX-SYS with RiLOC-E offers uncomplicated and quick georeferenced knowledge units at highest high quality for a variety of purposes, like hall mapping and energy line monitoring. The workflow for knowledge acquisition and processing has been optimized and permits even newcomers to make use of the system efficiently within the area. Customers are capable of ship high-accuracy, extremely informative measurement knowledge of the tasks in query – additionally assembly the necessities of high-end clients.
Michael Mayer summarizes, “The RIEGL miniVUX-3UAV laser scanner combined with the RiLOC-E subsystem provides excellent data quality and ease of use. Reliability and longevity are assured by RIEGL’s proven customer support – all in all, an optimal cost/benefit result for users, especially newcomers in UAV-based laser scanning.”
