RIEGL’s fully integrated VMX-250 mobile laser scanning system ready for serial production

RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems’ VMX-250 Mobile Scanning System, which was first introduced at the INTERGEO Exhibition, Karlsruhe, 2009, is now readily available. It consists of two RIEGL VQ-250 ‘full circle’ laser scanners, which combined can achieve 600,000 measurements per second, enabling extremely fast, efficient and highly mapping.

The system configuration further comprises the latest, modular IMU/GPS unit. The revolutionary RIEGL technologies ‘Echo Signal Digitisation’ and Online Waveform Analysis’ result in excellent multi-target detection, even of 3D data of objects that are obscured by physical entities in the foreground (fences, vegetation, etc.). This opens new capabilities for the processing and transformation of the measured data into a 3D computer model.

“Effort for installation and starting up the VMX-250 is limited to a minimum. The compact and light design of the measuring unit allows it to be mounted onto any commercial car roof carrier, it is connected to the control unit (located inside the car) with a single cable, and can easily be operated via touchscreen” said Nikolaus Studnicka, RIEGL’s International Sales Manager.

The RIEGL VMX-250 also features a very compact design and ease of use, user friendly workflow, and seamless integration of the INS data. The digital interfaces of the VMX-250 System are prepared also for the integration of a customer specified camera system.

The installed IMU sensor with its minimum export restrictions allows the RIEGL VMX-250 system to be delivered and operated practically worldwide.
