Features at a glance
Simultaneous soil and water survey
The YellowScan Bathymetric system is designed to conduct bathymetric measurements in shallow water and can be rapidly deployed on UAVs. This full-waveform LiDAR system ensures continuity between underwater points and the surrounding terrain.
Different aquatic environments
Intended for aerial use on drones, the system covers various water areas such as coasts, rivers, lakes, estuaries and lakes. Navigator is user-friendly and adaptable for a wide range of applications, from hydrographic surveys to underwater resource management.
44° FOV for high accuracy
Their bathymetric system, with a 44-degree field of view, prioritizes accuracy over a wider angle. This decision is based on the fact that 44° is the maximum angle for a green laser to be effective underwater. Beyond this angle, the penetration depth of the laser into the water is significantly affected, limiting the overall performance of the system.
High autonomy for maximum performance
Optimize your bathymetric survey operations with the YellowScan LiDAR system, providing 45 minutes of battery life on a single battery charge for extended underwater data collection in a variety of marine settings.
Applications
Underwater spot correction
Underwater point correction in CloudStation refines submerged data points, accounting for water refraction and ensuring reliable bathymetric mapping with uncompromising accuracy.
Automated water classification
Optimize your bathymetric capabilities using YellowScan CloudStation software, which includes automatic water classification. This function simplifies the categorization of water bodies, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of bathymetric mapping.
Automated water surface detection
YellowScan software's automated water surface detection capability effectively locates water boundaries, streamlining data analysis for accurate bathymetric mapping.
