Leica Chiroptera-5 Bathymetric & Topographic LiDAR

Our world is changing rapidly, particularly in rivers and coastal areas, which are constantly reshaped by water. Aerial depth measurements are crucial for monitoring these changes and protecting the people and landscapes they impact. Innovative and highly efficient LiDAR sensors capture topographic data of coastal and inland waters, facilitating risk mitigation and more informed decision-making.

The Leica Chiroptera-5 is a high-performance airborne sensor that integrates topographic and depth-sensing LiDAR channels with a 4-band camera, enabling seamless data transfer from underwater to land. This advanced system delivers 40% higher point density, 20% greater water penetration, and enhanced terrain sensitivity compared to previous models. It provides detailed LiDAR data on terrain and submerged objects, making it ideal for a range of applications including marine mapping, erosion risk assessment, environmental monitoring, and seabed classification.
