FT-mini is a newly launched survey-grade high-precision LiDAR sensor that can accurately acquire massive 3D point clouds in high-speed.
This lightweight airborne laser scanner has a FoV of 80 degree and a high pulse repetition rate up to 550KHz.With a scan speed of 300 lines/second, measuring range up to 350m and relative precision of 5mm@100m(1σ), FT-mini can performance quick and accurate 3D data collection for wide area coverage. The modular design, compact size and low weight of only 900g offers more integration options.
Specifications

Features
-Survey-grade LiDAR Sensor
High accuracy, survey-grade LiDAR sensor.
The measurement range reaches 350@20% reflectivity, better penetration capability based on typical 7 times returns, 5mm@100m(1σ) relative precision and laser PRR up to 550KHz;

-Survey-grade LiDAR Sensor
Ultra-lightweight and compact size.
The sensor only weights 900g, and the dimension is 130*90*94mm(L*W*H), even shorter than an iPhone14 pro.


-Survey-grade LiDAR Sensor
High accuracy

-Survey-grade LiDAR Sensor
Multiple echos

-Survey-grade LiDAR Sensor
Small beam size for better penetration in vegetation



-Survey-grade LiDAR Sensor
Modular design for flexible integration.
FT-mini adopts the modular design concept which means all the basic parts including optics, mechanical and electronical parts are independent from each other. This offers a possibility to provide flexible integration options based on this sensor. The main advantage is that the integrators can still use their own hardware architecture and POS/camera solution, still keep the solution as the original style.
