Peter Rieger
Peter Rieger Airborne Laser Scanning Business Division Manager , RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems GmbH , Austria

Peter Rieger is responsible manager for airborne laser scanning products at RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems GmbH located in Horn, Austria. He received a MSc degree in telecommunications engineering from the Vienna University of Technology in 2002. His research interests cover ranging techniques in scanning LiDAR, with emphasis on methods for resolving range ambiguities, full waveform analysis, and inertial navigation/GNSS.

Abstract

RIEGL's dedicated instruments for high efficiency airborne laser scanning

We will present our latest innovative products for wide area mapping applications. An insight on technical details of the new VQ-1260 and VQ-1460 will be given, focusing on their impact to reaching an unprecedented acquisition efficiency for high altitude and high point density scan data collection. The instruments' high productivity is demonstrated by way of representative demo projects. Another aspect of high efficiency in airborne laser scanning involves the use of a wing pod. Easy to mobilize and rapidly installed, the VQX-1 wing pod can be used for medium area projects all around the world - without the need for a dedicated survey aircraft. We will discuss technical details and demonstrate usability.
