High-performance urban mapping sensor CityMapper-2 Leica

What it is

The CityMapper-2 high-performance urban mapping sensor Leica is intended for professional use in the following contexts:

Laser and surveying instruments include laser distance meters, laser levels, rotary lasers, GNSS receivers and machine control systems, with tripods and accessories, for measuring and setting out.

What it is for

Used for topographic surveying and site setting-out.

How to use it

Set the instrument on a tripod or stable base, away from vibration, and let it self-level or level it manually. Before starting, check accuracy against a known reference and, outdoors, use the detector or staff to read the beam. Never look into the laser beam, and transport the instrument switched off in its case.

High-performance urban mapping sensor CityMapper-2 Leica (Leica) — For fast and efficient digitisation of cities, this hybrid oblique imaging and LiDAR solution provides the highest productivity and unmatched data accuracy The need for accurate aerial data in metropolitan areas goes beyond traditional data products because the fast-changing urban environments require more frequent and hence more efficient updates of geospatial base layers. The Leica CityMapper-2 is specifically designed for airborne urban mapping and offers twice the data collection performance to addresses the urgent need for 3D data. The world’s only hybrid oblique imaging and LiDAR airborne sensors, captures two nadir (RGB/NIR) and four oblique 150 MP images every 0.9 seconds providing the highest resolution to visualise every corner of the city. With a new generation 2 MHz pulse rate LiDAR, this sensor breaks all conventional barriers of urban mapping. The newly developed Leica MFC150 optical system is equipped with Leica Geosystem’s unique mechanical forward-motion-compensation (FMC), which allows to capture high quality imagery even in difficult lighting conditions with no reduction in efficiency , unlike traditional camera systems that have to increase the shutter speed and decrease the aircraft speed to control image blur. The CityMapper-2 is the best equipped airborne solution in the market for highly-productive creation of 3D digital twins of cities. The sensor transforms how we digitise the world we live in and allows you to create the most detailed geospatial base layer including orthophotos, point clouds, 3D building models and meshes, all from one single flight. All4Land collects oblique imaging and LiDAR data with the Leica CityMapper airborne mapping sensor to reduce time and cost of creating digital twins. APEI expands its business to the rapidly growing smart city market with the Leica CityMapper-2.
