Hardware
Easy integration into UAV platforms
This system can be used on multirotor, fixed-wing VTOL and helicopter UAVs. This flexibility is an asset if you have a great diversity of missions: sizes and reliefs. Fixed-wing VTOL for big areas to survey, multirotor for small areas or vertical sections. When it comes to drones, the “quick release” attachment allows for easy mounting on a wide range of drones. Two options: Gremsy or Skyport, which can be interchanged depending on the drone you’re using.

Knowledge base
Discover our solutions by reading about our users’ experience in the field.
Discover how LiDAR technology helped assess landslide risks in a large woodland prone to terrain instability and erosion.
Read how our customer used a YellowScan LiDAR system to transform urban tree management in Belgium, offering fast, accurate data collection compared to traditional methods.
This article compares two popular technologies for creating 3D models and maps: photogrammetry and LiDAR. The focus lies on key differences between both: how they work, the different outputs created for each, and popular use cases. The article finishes with a discussion of why investing in LiDAR can be a better choice, despite higher costs.
The University of Vermont (UVM) in the USA became involved in this project through its connections with the Vermont Geological Survey (VGS) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans). UVM is one of the few organizations in the state with access to UAS LiDAR technology, making it a priority contact for capturing accurate elevation data and models for landslides, especially when rapid data collection was required.
This article explains what LiDAR point clouds are and how they are used for 3D mapping applications. Learn the basics of LiDAR point clouds!
LiDAR scanners are used for capturing 3D point clouds. But how do they work? This and more are explained in the article below, which covers the operating principle of different LiDAR scanners and explains how distance measurements are transformed and combined into 3D point clouds. These provide the basis for many 3D mapping products used for different industry applications.
The project came about because an engineering company sought high quality topographical data to reassess how they were going to resume mine operations. This involved tasks such as creating new roads, avoiding collapse-prone areas, and creating protection meshes, etc.
Following a successful research and development collaboration with a government agency, our customer GeoAerospace obtained a contract to perform airborne LiDAR capture in various forestry sites along the secluded west coast of Ireland.
This LiDAR project, led by our customer Ventus-Tech, aimed to establish a baseline & record the status of the Chain Bridge in Budapest

360° field of view: vertical mapping-ready
The Surveyor Ultra allows for the collection of LiDAR data not only from the ground, but for verticals as well. It is the best option for applications such as vertical inspections (buildings, bridges, coastal erosion, cliffs, mountains).
Turn-key, simple to operate & self-powered
As with all YellowScan LiDAR systems, the Surveyor Ultra follows the “Just Press the Yellow Button” philosophy. It is designed for 3D modeling under vegetation and fast data processing.
Embedded camera
The Surveyor Ultra now has an embedded camera (global shutter) that can be used for colorization purposes.
Collect LiDAR and RGB data
The Surveyor Ultra is compatible with an optional 20MP or 60MP single-camera module, or a 35MP dual-camera module.
