GS-960

Key Features and Capabilities

• Mid-Range Detection: The GS-960 features a laser scanner (often a Hesai XT16 or similar) with a typical measuring range of up to 500m at 20% reflectivity, and a maximum range reaching 750m or even 1000m at 80% reflectivity. This allows for effective data collection over a good operational area.
• High Point Rate and Multiple Echoes: It captures dense point clouds with a data rate of up to 640,000 points per second (double echo) or even 1,920,000 points per second (triple-echo in some configurations). It supports multiple returns, which is crucial for penetrating vegetation and capturing ground features.
• Integrated POS System: The system incorporates a robust GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) positioning and attitude determination system (e.g., gSpin 310 or AGS 303). This ensures high accuracy in position (horizontal 0.02m, vertical 0.03m) and attitude (pitch/roll accuracy of 0.005°, heading accuracy of 0.017°), leading to precisely geo-referenced point clouds.
• Built-in High-Resolution Camera: Often equipped with a 26MP or 45MP full-frame RGB camera, the GS-960 can simultaneously acquire rich color imagery. This enables the creation of realistic, colorized 3D point clouds and supports photogrammetric workflows.
• Lightweight and Compact Design: With a weight typically around 1.4kg to 1.7kg (with camera), the GS-960 is designed for easy integration with various drone platforms, including popular models like the DJI Matrice 300/350 RTK, multi-rotor, and VTOL aircraft, as well as ground vehicles.
• Comprehensive Software Suite: Geosun provides a complete software package, including pre-processing POS software for trajectory calculation and gAirHawk Post-processing software for point cloud data generation in standard formats like LAS and custom TXT.
• Aplicaciones versátiles: The GS-960 is a versatile solution widely used for acquiring 3D spatial information in diverse fields such as:
  • Topografía y cartografía: Topographic mapping, digital elevation models (DEMs), and cadastral surveys.
  • Forestry: Forest inventory, biomass estimation, and habitat mapping.
  • Inspección de línea eléctrica: Detailed mapping of power line corridors for maintenance and safety.
  • Agricultura: Precision farming, crop analysis, and yield management.
  • Emergency Mapping: Rapid 3D data acquisition for disaster response.
  • Mining: Volume calculations and mine site monitoring.

The Geosun GS-960 offers a balanced combination of performance, portability, and accuracy, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a reliable LiDAR solution for a broad range of aerial and mobile mapping projects.
