Typical out put from a laser radar system

3 D laser radar scanner unit

Features of Laseroptronix laser radar systems for air borne applications

 

* Non contact method based on laser light
* Up to 50 000 3D points / sec can be measured and stored
* Possible to make 3D maps of large areas in short time

* Very low time per square meter of measured areas and low man time totally
* Measuring ranges up to over 1000 m in distance with a few cm in accuracy only
* Possibility to detect / analyze objets by its shape without contrast and color and ambient light
* It can be installed on cars, airborne platforms, boats or a walking person
* Measurements can be synchronized to DGPS and RTK data for global coordination

* The obvious solution for many airborne applications and platforms

* Large areas can be analyzed in short time in real time mode.

 

Laseroptronix is very happy to introduce our laser radar systems or Ladar if you prefer. This is a laser distance meter which is scanned / pointed at known directions in high speed The areas are scanned and when we know the two angles of the vector and the distance we can generate 3D measurements over large structures in a short time.

Ladar systems scan be installed on movable platforms or be mounted on a fixed site supervising the surrounding areas automatically.

This technology is the future for many old and new applications and we have been working with laser radar systems since 1992. This bank of knowledge is very valuable when analyzing new applications and our customers needs.

Pls send us a mail about your application and specifications and we can make a good proposal based on the long experience of our staff.

Short range laser radar / ladar systems

	Industrial robot system scanned by a Ladar system This 3D image is done by a scanning Ladar with max range of over 100 m and a depth resolution of about 20 cm. . 3 D data were filtered and processed to have a clean and good image. Distance is related to color of the surface. This 3D image can also be super imposed on a photo from a camera to have a more detailed information. More information about short range laser radar systems
	Ladar scan over a spiral stair This image is done by a navigation Ladar system from a mobile robot system. This type of information say more than a standard photo as we have the depth information which is very essential when navigating from a remote position. Ladar images is the best way to enhace what the operated shall decide and act against.   More information about navigation with laser radar technology
	Laser radar image of a scud robot on its ramp This application is military and here the RPV with an onbord laser radar fly over large areas and scanning the area . When a specific shape is found the ladar can generate a 3D image and compare with preset shapes in its memory. If this is the same as the RPV is looking for it can transmit target data or make an attack. Here no operator is needed and the system is not depending on ambient light , temperature or color of target.   More about 3 D laserradar targeting and tracking

	3 D map image  This is an example of out put data from a processed 3D image with the map wrapped on the 3D shape ( wire grid ). This way to show shapes gives very useful information which is easy to understand. Images and photos can also be wrapped over the 3D shape .  More information about Linemapper the position defined video system
	4 D Map image  This is a variant of the 3D image but with an extra parameter added in a 4 th dimension. These additional data can in some cases be collected at the same flight as the area is 3D scanned. These data can be information about vegetation, tree height, chlorophyll balance in trees , snow depth etc.   Information about Survair airborne geomatics laser radar unit
	Wire grid models for geomatics  This is a more traditional way to display geographical areas. In this case the bottom image is pure 3D . The top layer is a traditional map with level lines . This is normally the original data from the ladar and then we can add what is desired over this surface.   Information about Geomapper airborne geomatics laser radar unit

Auto navigation and robot control

 

Robot navigation and control This technology gives the robot a 3D eye which can be used to automatically control the robot by its own smart computer. The 3D data can be transmitted to a remote placed operator who can make a far better control when he have a 3D view of what the robot do and its surrounding areas.   More about robot navigation with laser radar systems Mobile robotics laser radar images for navigation part 1 Mobile robot laser radar navigator part 2 Navigation of robots by laser radar images part 3

Gated viewing laser camera systems for 3 D viewing

More information about laser cameras

This system can be explained as a 3D camera where all pixels can be defined in 3D. The camera use a short laser flash which is strobes in its flight at a known distance and by this we know which distance we look at . The system can see through snow, rain ,fog and bad weather up to 5 times the normal visible range. The output is a camera output where each pixels can be defined in a 3D coordinate. Light in flighjt lasre camera system for 3 D measurement applications at high speed.

This is a very unique technology and we are as far as we know the only supplier of a commercial product.
