Description
DJI’s next-generation high-accuracy aerial LiDAR system features a long-range LiDAR capable of reaching up to 950 m [1] even on objects with just 10% reflectivity. Dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras and a high-precision POS system accelerate geospatial data acquisition, enabling daily coverage of up to 100 km² [2].
1535nm Long-Range LiDARZenmuse L3 integrates a 1535nm long-range LiDAR, dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras, a high-precision POS system, and a three-axis gimbal, all within a compact device, delivering unprecedented performance for its size.
Long Range, Wide Coverage
Zenmuse L3 achieves a maximum detection range of 950 m [1] at a pulse rate of 100 kHz, tested under 100 klx ambient light and on objects with 10% reflectivity. The adjustable pulse rate allows for flexible power output and optimal adaptation to different operational scenarios. Typical flight altitudes of 300 to 500 m significantly [3] expand single-flight coverage and boost mapping efficiency.
Small Spot, High Energy
With a laser beam divergence of just 0.25 mrad (1/e²), the spot size at the same range is about one-fifth that of Zenmuse L2, enabling detection of smaller objects such as power lines and branches. Higher energy density results in stronger penetration capability, significantly increasing ground point density beneath vegetation and enabling high-accuracy reconstruction of complex terrains and structures.
High Pulse Rate, Multiple Returns
With maximum laser pulse emission frequency of 2 million pulses per second and support for up to 16 returns [4], Zenmuse L3 delivers highly accurate spatial reconstruction. Point cloud density and penetration capability can be adjusted to fit needs from high-accuracy mapping to complex environments.
Scanning Modes
Supports Linear, Star-Shaped, and Non-Repetitive scanning modes for different operational scenarios:
• Linear: Achieves more consistent point cloud distribution, ideal for high-accuracy terrain mapping.
• Star-Shaped: Balances accuracy with multiple scan angles and penetration capability, well-suited for forests or dense urban environments.
• Non-Repetitive: Provides multiple scan angles and broader coverage, optimized for power line inspections and other complex structural surveys.
- Dual 100MP RGB Mapping Camera System
Accuracy Meets Efficiency
Zenmuse L3 delivers significant improvements in both point cloud and RGB accuracy, while raising efficiency to new heights. Paired with DJI Matrice 400, a single flight can cover up to 10 km², enabling up to 100 km² of high-accuracy mapping per day [2]. Large-area, high-accuracy results are delivered in a seamless workflow.
- Up to 100km2 per day
End-To-End Solution
Zenmuse L3 seamlessly integrates with DJI’s ecosystem to deliver an end-to-end mapping solution. From data acquisition and processing to application, this unified workflow is simpler to operate and easier to master than traditional multi-platform setups, helping users efficiently complete a wide range of mapping tasks.
The DJI Zenmuse L3 is a long-range 1535 nm LiDAR and 100 MP RGB mapping payload for the Matrice 400: 950 m detection range at 10% reflectivity, up to 2,000 kHz point rate with up to 16 returns, ±10 mm ranging accuracy and 3 cm vertical / 4 cm horizontal point-cloud accuracy at 120 m, paired with a 4/3 CMOS 100 MP camera and a 3-axis gimbal accurate to ±0.01°.
