Supported laser scanner sensors (LiDARs):
Quanergy M8 prime sensors
The RESEPI® can be equipped with the high-resolution and advanced laser scanners of Quanergy Systems Inc.
M8-Prime sensors provide industry-leading pinpoint accuracy of 0.033-0.132° and capture 1.3M points per second with three returns. They provide the most accurate representation of the 3D world by generating a high-accuracy, high-resolution and extremely dense point cloud of scanned areas and objects. Therefore they allow UAVs to operate at their maximum altitude, accurate raw material volumetric assessment for mining, and fast geometric readout for high throughput inspection.
M8’s high data density 3D mapping technology is designed to help mapping integrators and operators improve their productivity and generate faster revenue by increasing the mapping accuracy and speed across a variety of applications including urban planning, maintenance of critical infrastructure, land surveying, power line inspection, archeological excavation, and more.
We recommend the RESEPI with the following mid-to-long range 3D Quanergy models:
M8-Prime Plus with detection range: 150 m
M8-Prime Ultra with detection range: 200 m

Use cases for the RESEPI:
Remote Sensing with LiDAR
Sometimes called a 3D laser scanner, LiDAR is a surveying method that measures distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. It has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications. Some models of 3D LiDAR are able to generate up to 700,000 data points per second, There are plenty of exceptional producers on the market, for example Riegl and Quanergy®.
Scanning and mapping
Perhaps area mapping is still the biggest domain for remote sensing. Making sense of the physical world by analyzing maps and 3D models allows businesses to make faster and more informed decisions that increase efficiency, profit and more importantly, improve safety. Few of the most often used bases it can be done on are a land vehicle or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
Precision agriculture with LiDAR
LiDAR technology is instrumental in developing 3D models of farmland, which can be used to aid crop planning and can produce accurate maps of the natural resources. In addition, it can be used in crop yield forecasting, field management, land segmentation, and determination of soil type.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) Algorithm Development
RESEPI has the ability to generate a point cloud in real time. This feature, along with aiding imagery from other optical sources such as RGB and thermal cameras, can lay the foundation for SLAM algorithm development.
Utility inspection
Drones equipped with LiDAR and Photogrammetry technology are a much cheaper and safer option when compared to other aerial scanning methods or manual inspection. With innovative LiDAR and Photogrammetry algorithms, users can reconstruct utilities and identify potential hazards and damages.
Construction site monitoring
Drones equipped with RGB cameras and LiDAR technology enable construction companies to regularly monitor project progress. In addition, LiDAR point cloud color schemes are a useful tool for the visualization of elevation, which makes 3D analysis of the ground and structures much easier.
