The RIEGL VZ-2000i is a high-speed, long-range 3D laser scanner for terrestrial use. It records up to 1.2 million measurements per second and covers ranges up to 2500 meters with an accuracy of 5 mm. It features Riegl's Waveform-LiDAR technology, which enables high-speed, long-range and high-precision measurements in low visibility and complex multi-target situations.
The new VZ-2000i terrestrial laser scanner features a future-proof processing architecture, including two embedded processors, allowing for multiple parallel processes. While scanning in the field, the device can perform various background tasks (point cloud registration, georeferencing, orientation using the built-in inertial measurement unit, etc.) simultaneously and in real time. Notably, RIEGL says the new scanner includes complete documentation for all of its components, which offers a ”robust foundation” for developing your own Python applications to enhance the scanner's functionality.
Speed Range:
- The scanner is fast and works well over long distances, capturing 1.2 million points per second at a distance of up to 2,500 meters. It boasts 5mm accuracy and 3mm accuracy. RIEGL recommends the device for topography and mining, urban modeling, tunnel surveying, civil engineering and natural hazard surveys, among other applications.
- As you would expect from RIEGL, the device features the latest version of the company's technology, which uses echo digitization, online signal processing and multiple data processing to provide accurate measurements regardless of weather conditions or range requirements.
User-friendly applications:
- Along with the VZ-2000i, RIEGL announced a new application that will allow users to control the VZ line of scanners remotely, “from anywhere in the world.” Available for Windows and Apple devices, this app displays a scanner GUI on your screen whether you are connected to the device locally or remotely.
- It also includes a number of predefined workflows that allow users to control the scanner by pressing a single GUI button for each scanner position. “As soon as the scanner is re-arranged,” says RIEGL, “a new scanning position will be automatically generated.”
- RIEGL's unique Waveform-LiDAR technology is the key to providing such high speeds, long distances and high measurement accuracy even in poor visibility and challenging multi-target situations caused by dust, haze, rain, vegetation, etc.
