FT1500 is the first generation of long-range, high-precision, lightweight airborne LiDAR system. It can measure distances up to 1500m, weighs only 2.9kg, and features up to 7 returns (customizable to unlimited returns). The system is highly integrated, compatible with various load-carrying platforms such as VTOL fixed-wing UAVs, multi-rotor UAVs, helicopters, and unmanned boats. Equipped with independently developed point cloud fusion software, it provides integrated solutions for a variety of application needs. The FT1500 LiDAR can be widely used in topographic surveying, power line inspection, mining measurement, shoreline measurement, emergency surveying, natural resource investigation, and real-world 3D modeling, among other fields.

Mountainous Terrain Mapping
Acquiring terrain data for an approximately 3.5 square kilometer mountainous area. The terrain in the mountainous area is complex, and it is largely covered with dense forests, making manual surveying difficult and inefficient. The DEM results are generated based on high-precision LiDAR measurement data.

Traditional surveying methods, primarily total stations and GPS-RTK, have limitations such as low efficiency, incomplete information, and safety risks. Airborne LiDAR technology offers flexible and convenient operations with minimal impact from environmental conditions. It provides faster surveying speeds and higher efficiency, significantly reducing fieldwork time. The data quality is higher, with dense point clouds and improved mapping quality, all while substantially lowering labor costs.
