Leica Chiroptera-5 Bathymetric & Topographic LiDAR

Our world is changing rapidly. This is especially true for rivers and coastal areas, which are frequently changed by water. Aerial depth measurements play an important role in monitoring these changes and protecting the people and landscapes they affect. Innovative and highly efficient LiDAR sensors capture topographic data of coastal and inland waters to enable risk mitigation and more informed decision-making.

The Leica Chiroptera-5, a high-performance airborne sensor, combines topographic and depth-sensing LiDAR channels with a 4-band camera for seamless data transfer from underwater to land. This system provides 40% higher point density, 20% greater water penetration, and improved terrain sensitivity compared to previous generations. The sensor provides detailed LiDAR data on terrain and submerged objects, supporting a variety of applications including marine mapping, erosion risk assessment, environmental monitoring, and seabed classification.
