UAV-borne bathymetric LiDAR put to test
Based on expertise in topo-bathymetric airborne LiDAR as well as in miniaturisation and integration of LiDAR sensors for UAV integrations, RIEGL developed a new, especially compact bathymetric LiDAR system, the RIEGL VQ-840-G. We present the benefits and challenges in performance and operation of UAV-borne bathymetric LiDAR, discussing results from field tests from both inland water bodies and coastal areas
