Teledyne Galaxy Edge Lidar
Galaxy Edge is the latest generation of the award-winning airborne lidar solution. Galaxy Edge delivers high-resolution data with the most efficient acquisition in steep terrain resulting in both lower carbon footprint and collection costs by 20-50%. Consistently delivering unmatched performance in variable terrain, compatible with fixed-wing, pressurized aircraft, drone or helicopter platforms. Real-time processing powered by Onboard delivers lidar point clouds for immediate use upon landing.
Parallel Scan Lines
Galaxy Edge now delivers straight and parallel scan lines
Uniform point spacing across the swath streamlines and cost-optimizes flight planning.
Additional Scan Lines
Galaxy Edge delivers more scanlines on the ground
Higher resolution of smaller objects like electric wires, poles, and street signs.
Optimized Resolution
Galaxy Edge cuts atmospheric noise providing a clearer image
Reduces atmospheric noise and intensive labour delivering cleaner data, faster.
Turbulence & Terrain Compensation
Galaxy Edge automatically compensates for airplane deviations and terrain changes
Reduces operational costs through ~50% reduction in flight lines and reflight.
Real-time Processing & Quality Control
Onboard processes and quality controls point cloud data instantaneously while in flight
Real-time QC allows issues to be actioned immediately in the air, reducing standby and rework costs. Full-resolution point cloud available on landing, delivering rapid answers for time-sensitive applications and disaster response.
Direct from Plane to Production
Onboard delivers real-time point clouds with <10cm relative and <15cm absolute accuracy.
Bypasses processing and logistical delays and enables LAS data to be ingested directly into any production environment for classification, analysis, and same day delivery.
