    Features

    Precision and advanced scanning capabilities

    The AlphaAir 10’s (or AA10) high-precision navigation algorithm, in conjunction with the CHCNAV scanner, provides 5 mm repeated range accuracy and achieves exceptional absolute precision in the 2 to 5 cm range, even in complex environments. With the capability of long-range measurements up to 800 m, rapid scanning at 500,000 points per second, and a continuously rotating mirror that enables scanning speeds of 250 scans per second, the AA10 enhances the detail of aerial mapping operations.

    Seamless data fusion and real-time data view

    The AA10 accelerates the creation of mesh models by generating high-quality point clouds. Powered by a 45 MP orthographic internal camera, the system provides high-resolution image mapping textures for efficient 3D model reconstruction with realistic point cloud colorization. In addition, the AA10 supports automated reality capture and real-time data visualization accessible directly from the UAV controller, enabling informed decision-making throughout the survey operation. Complementing the solution, CoPre and CoProcess software suite streamline post-processing and feature extraction with an easy-to-use and efficient data workflow.

    Advanced LIDAR+RGB aerial survey system

    The AlphaAir 10 is an advanced aerial surveying solution that seamlessly integrates LiDAR and RGB sensors to meet the needs of professional UAV LiDAR mapping and drone photogrammetry. Leveraging CHCNAV’s cutting-edge LiDAR technology, the AA10 flawlessly integrates high-precision LiDAR, accurate GNSS positioning, IMU orientation and an industrial-grade full-frame orthophoto camera. Combined with
    CHCNAV point cloud and image fusion modeling software, the AA10 provides a survey-grade, efficient and cost-effective approach to 3D data acquisition and processing. The AA10 Airborne LiDAR + RGB System accelerates accurate 3D data collection within a single mission and simplifies the process of capturing 3D reality through a streamlined workflow.
