APEIfirst to purchase Leica CityMapper-2

美国华盛顿特区（2020年2月20日） - 六边形的地球系统部今天宣布了Aero Pbob体育报道hoto Europe（Aero Photo Europe调查）（APEI），一家国际航空调查公司，总部位于法国米洛斯（Moulins），已成为第一个购买该公司的客户Leica CityMapper-2oblique imaging and LiDAR hybrid airborne sensor.

With the CityMapper-2, APEI expands its business to the rapidly growing smart city market, which today requires more detailed and more accurate data on larger areas in fast-changing urban environments.
APEIis currently operating a CityMapper that incorporates the latest-generation linear-mode LiDAR from theLeica Terrainmapper。凭借更高的2 MHz脉搏率激光雷达扫描仪，该公司受益于显着的运营优势，例如增加数据收集率与飞行高度。这种性能改善使得任何给定的点密度都可以飞行更大的区域，并实现更有效的飞行计划，甚至可以为所有飞行高度提供更高的飞行计划，从300-5,500 m AGL，空气中最多35脉冲且无范围门限制。

During the recent winter season, APEI carried out several LiDAR projects. For example, the firm captured Haut-Rhin, France, over an area of 2,350 km² with a ground point density of 10 pts/m². APEI has a long history with the CityMapper as the first to fly the original CityMapper during the product development process.

“我们已经与客户建立了牢固的信任关系，他们知道他们可以依靠我们执行任务。由于这种关系，我们毫不犹豫地在维持我们的技能和满足新市场需求所需的所有材料上进行大量投资，而我们购买CityMapper-2是另一个重要的一步。”said APEI CEO Bruno Callabat.“通过这项投资，我们将能够为3D城市建模提供图像和激光雷达数据，这是客户的兴趣。此外，我们坚信，具有圆形图案的超高效激光雷达与最新一代斜传感器的结合将使我们能够提供无与伦比的最终产品。bob综合app下载最后但并非最不重要的一点是，能够与CityMapper-2独立使用倾斜图像或激光雷达将使我们能够增加向客户的产品。”

High-performance urban mapping sensor to create digital twins
Increasing significantly productivity and data quality for the creation of digital twins of cities and metro areas, the CityMapper-2 now offers a newly developed optical system incorporating two nadir (RGB & NIR) and four oblique 150 MP metric camera, using CMOS technology and equipped with Leica Geosystems’ Forward Motion Compensation (FMC) technology, allowing the capture of high-quality imagery even in difficult lighting conditions with no reduction in efficiency. Furthermore, the LiDAR sensor’s pulse repetition frequency has been increased to 2 MHz and features gateless Multiple-Pulses in the Air (MPiA) technology, with similar performance to the TerrainMapper, allowing the collection of point clouds in the most complex reliefs and urban environments.

“随着人口的增长和进入城市地区，需要更快，更有效地监控瞬息万变的城市中心。准确的3D数字双胞胎城市建立了骨干。我们希望通过生成收集和处理数据的最高效，最有生产力的方法来为客户和最终客户提供快速访问数字双胞胎的机会。连同HXMAP处理工作流程，CityMapper-2是城市中心快速数据更新的促成技术，”said John Welter, president of Geospatial Content Solutions, Hexagon’s Geosystems division.“With our strong working relationship with APEI, we are excited to see the innovative uses the firm will find for the CityMapper-2 and the collected data. As a firm dedicated to advancing airborne acquisition, there is no better first customer for our latest airborne sensor innovation.”

As a long-time customer of Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon's Geosystems division, airborne solutions, APEI has steadily upgraded its fleet with the latest innovations such as theLeica DMC IIIairborne imaging system in 2017 and the Leica ALS70-HP airborne LiDAR in 2015. Furthermore, since 2016, APEI has been one of the first companies in the world operating the莉卡实体urban mapping solution, combining the CityMapper with theHxMaphigh-performance processing workflow for the simultaneous collection of oblique images and LiDAR point clouds for 3D urban projects, like in the cities of波尔多and Paris in France.
