Extended Measurement Range

The maximum range of the JoLiDAR-120G is up to 1800 m. This makes it suitable for large-scale mapping in rugged, high-relief terrains. This reduces the requirement for multiple passes over deep valleys or complex geological formations, improving field efficiency.

**The system was tested and the maximum point cloud elevation difference reached 1314.517 m, while the measurement range was higher than 1500 m even at a relative flight height of 260 m.**

High-Resolution Data Acquisition

With a high pulse repetition frequency of 2,000 kHz and an equivalent scanning frequency of 900 lines/second, it provides ultra-high-resolution point clouds that are ideal for accurately mapping intricate surface features applied in urban modeling and geological surveys.

Comprehensive 3D Data Collection

The JoLiDAR-120G scans a wide field using innovative beam steering technology from +10° forward tilt to vertical downward and -10° backward tilt. This will help capture vertical structures such as building facades and power poles with precision, making the 3D model stronger and more complete.

Outstanding Vegetation Penetration

The JoLiDAR-120G supports up to 16 returns per pulse, leveraging advanced multi-cycle echo processing (MTA) to penetrate dense vegetation and accurately map the ground surface beneath tree canopies. This capability makes it particularly effective in forestry, environmental studies, and land-use planning.

Optional FOV for Various Scenarios

Adapt the JoLiDAR-120G to your specific project needs with customizable field-of-view (FOV) settings.

  • 60° FOV: Ideal for linear mapping applications such as power line inspections, road surveys, and river mapping, prioritizing high point density.
  • 75° FOV: Optimized for efficient large-area mapping, balancing data collection speed and point density.
Coverage Efficiency on Different UAV Platforms
Real-Time Modeling and Disaster Assessment
Equipped with high-performance ground equipment, the JoLiDAR-120G supports real-time 3D point cloud modeling and classification. It dynamically generates low-latency, high-precision data, delivering instant insights into environmental changes or disaster scenarios. This functionality is invaluable for emergency response teams and disaster recovery operations.
RTK+IMU for Unmatched Accuracy

Combined Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data, this fusion allows for accurate georeferencing of data, ensuring that every point in your dataset is precisely located in the real world, even in the most challenging environments.
