Customer Benefits
  The TopoSys Falcon LIDAR system delivers:
  • A functionality and quality that has stood the test of years in use
  • The acquisition of reliable and high-resolution digital elevation models (raster width
    0.5 m to 2 m)
  • The simultaneous, digital acquisition of image data in four spectral channels, corrected with the surface model to form true ortho images
  • A one-stop, comprehensive software concept, from the data acquisition all the way to the processed elevation models and true ortho images
  • Support by an experienced team of developers and evaluators
  • Open interfaces to application-specific software (ArcView, ERDAS, PCI, Surfer, etc.)

The technical concept of the Falcon is the direct route to significant customer benefits:

  • Fixed and accurately measured laser beam orientation within each scan line (fiber scanner technology)
       => no angle errors and hence constant quality of measurement
  • High number of overlapping measurements
       => measuring method with a plausibility check and top data confidence level
  • No calibration flights by the user necessary
       => cost-effective, efficient use of the Falcon
  • No shading through narrow viewing angle
       => best data quality also in towns and woodland
  • Separation of the individual echos from 1.5 m
       => maximum probability of capturing terrain data, e.g. in wooded areas
