YellowScan® Explorer (Version 2) Integrated System | Versatility at its Finest
The YellowScan Explorer is equipped with a lightweight and powerful long-range laser
scanner that can be mounted on various UAVs. The Explorer is the first LiDAR that can be mounted on a light manned aircraft, helicopter or car, and still be switched to a UAV platform like the DJI M350. This versality allows users to tackle a wide range of projects with the proven ease-of-use of YellowScan’s UAV LiDAR solutions.
Key Features:
- 360° Surveying & Mapping
- Powerful & Lightweight
- Long Operational Range
- Compatible with Single or Dual RGB Camera Module
- Technology Inside: SBG Systems Quanta Micro / YellowScan Explorer Laser Scanner
Multi-Platform Adaptability
Complete more mission profiles with this compact LiDAR solution that can be mounted on light manned aircraft, helicopters or UAV platforms. When it comes to drones, the “quick release” attachment allows for easy mounting on a wide range of drones. Two options: Gremsy or Skyport, which can be interchanged depending on the drone.
One-of-a-Kind Laser Scanner
YellowScan has developed a unique laser scanner that meets specific requirements and can not be found in any other systems. You can select the right scanner parameter for each of your missions with the possibility to switch the laser PRF.
Front-Facing LCD Touch Screen
This user-friendly display keeps you informed about the system’s status with ease.
Fly High Without Compromising Data Quality
Collecting data from a longer range will allow you to cover more area per flight and enable you to create and maintain digital twins of your assets and project sites. Flight operation speed can go from 5 to 35 m/s with a flying height of up to 300m.
Optimal Vegetation Penetration
The Explorer's detection and processing of up to five target echoes per laser pulse will provide you with optimal vegetation penetration.
Embedded Camera
The Explorer now has an embedded camera (global shutter) that can be used for colorization purposes.
Data Generation in Just a Few Clicks
Handle pointclouds with YellowScan's own, all-in-one software solution. Extract, process, and display data immediately after flight acquisition. YellowScan CloudStation Essential and SBG Qinertia UAV.
Advanced Calibration
All YellowScan systems are calibrated before shipment and come with a calibration certificate. Be ready to fly your system as soon as you receive it!
YellowScan® - Designed to Innovate
Applications
Mining: Challenging working conditions and the need for precise elevation data in open pit mines make UAV LiDAR solutions the latest go-to surveying tool around the world
Civil Engineering: From the initial planning stages to the final project delivery, LiDAR systems are an asset to the construction industry.
Energy & Utilities: Reduce risks and costs in energy and utilities management.
Corridor Mapping: Mapping the vegetation around powerlines is a major issue for most energy companies, along with mapping of the powerline itself to detect any issues
such as line sagging, damage to cables and to structures.
Forestry: Whether it is a commercial or governmental activity, forest management requires detailed data to make proper decisions.
Archeology: LiDAR technology has changed the face of archeology by making it possible to measure and map detailed landscapes that would otherwise remain hidden under centuries of vegetation.
Environmental Research: This technology has revolutionized conservation and environmental research by providing useful information, as 3D pointclouds, in the quest to save forests, animals, and humans.
Media & Entertainment: Turn real-life objects into digital twins. LiDAR is becoming increasingly popular for creating special effects and realistic digital imagery.
Explore a world of possibilities using YellowScan® LiDAR solutions.
