Profile: Airborne 1 specializes in providing light detection and ranging (LiDAR) services. Light detection and ranging system is provided with laser scanner & cooling system, a global positioning system (GPS), and an inertial navigation system. The laser scanner is mounted within a properly outfitted aircraft, and emits infrared laser beams at a high frequency. The scanner records the difference in time between the emission of the laser pulses and the reception of the reflected signal. A mirror that is mounted in front of the laser rotates and causes the laser pulses to sweep at an angle, back and forth along a line. The position and orientation of the aircraft is determined using a phase difference kinematic system. GPS system is located in the aircraft, and at several ground stations within the area to be mapped. The orientation of the aircraft is then controlled and determined by the INS. We also offer oblique imaging and data processing services.
