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.
