VA3 Pocket UAV Lidar System
The GEOMATE VA3 is very likely the best UAV LiDAR solution with integrated Livox Avia. The VA3 is a major breakthrough in the democratization of mobile mapping technology, allowing its use by non-professional users in the geospatial reality capture industry and to those who have never been able to access such technology before. The VA3 is the first generation of GEOMATE LiDAR solutions, which are widely used for power line inspection, topographic mapping, emergency response, agricultural and forestry surveys, and more. This all-in-one, lightweight
and rugged system integrates a high-performance laser scanner with an industrial-grade professional 26 MP camera and a high-precision inertial navigation system for quality data collection.
