RESEPI LITE XT-32 and XT-32M2X Drone LiDAR

Inertial Labs RESEPI LITE Drone LiDAR Accuracy-Focused 3D Mapping With Two Distinct XT-32 Scanner Options The RESEPI LITE XT-32 and XT-32M2X combine a 32-channel LiDAR scanner, tactical-grade inertial navigation, single- or dual-antenna GNSS, onboard computing, removable storage and optional RGB mapping imagery in a field-deployable remote-sensing payload. Both variants publish the same 2–3 cm system vertical accuracy and ±1 cm scanner range accuracy. The decision is therefore not simply “basic versus accurate.” It is a mission choice between the XT-32’s tighter laser beam and focused short-to-mid-range performance, and the XT-32M2X’s longer detection envelope, wider vertical view, third return and lower payload weight. 2–3 cm published system accuracy ±1 cm scanner range accuracy RTK and PPK workflows Aerial, mobile and pedestrian mapping Request a Configured Quote Compare All MAXSUR Drone LiDAR Systems Select XT-32 or XT-32M2X using the product options above. Camera and aircraft integration should be configured around the required deliverable. Choose by Mission, Not by the Biggest Number XT-32 or XT-32M2X: What Is the Practical Difference? The two systems share the same RESEPI processing foundation and the same published accuracy class, but they collect the scene differently. The comparison below is intended to prevent a common buying mistake: assuming that greater maximum range automatically makes one scanner better for every project. XT-32 Focused Accuracy for Localized Scenes and General Government Mapping Choose the XT-32 when the agency primarily maps localized crime and accident scenes, construction sites, municipal assets, campuses, utility features or other projects where the 120 m detection envelope and 100 m recommended AGL are sufficient. Its narrower published beam divergence produces a smaller laser footprint than the M2X configuration at a comparable distance. That can be valuable when the mission emphasizes detailed surfaces and smaller features rather than maximum altitude or vegetation returns. Up to 100 m recommended AGL 0.05–120 m stated detection envelope Two returns per pulse 31° vertical field of view 0.021° horizontal and 0.047° vertical beam divergence 1.7 kg with the 24 MP camera; 1.3 kg without it XT-32M2X Greater Coverage, Triple Returns and More Flexibility in Vegetation Choose the XT-32M2X when missions involve larger areas, wooded terrain, emergency damage assessment, transportation corridors, broad public properties or projects where a higher recommended altitude can reduce the number of flight lines required. The M2X expands the stated detection envelope to 300 m, adds a third return, widens the vertical field of view to 40.3° and reduces payload weight. Those characteristics make it the more versatile general recommendation for agencies expecting a mixture of open terrain, vegetation and larger-area projects. Up to 150 m recommended AGL 0.05–300 m stated detection envelope Three returns per pulse 40.3° vertical field of view Up to 1.92 million measurements per second in triple-return mode 1.4 kg with the 24 MP camera; 1.0 kg without it Side-by-Side Model Selection The Differences That Matter in the Field Published system vertical accuracy XT-32: 2–3 cm XT-32M2X: 2–3 cm Scanner range accuracy XT-32: ±1 cm XT-32M2X: ±1 cm Recommended AGL XT-32: Up to 100 m XT-32M2X: Up to 150 m Stated detection envelope XT-32: 0.05–120 m XT-32M2X: 0.05–300 m Laser returns XT-32: Two returns XT-32M2X: Three returns Vertical field of view XT-32: 31° XT-32M2X: 40.3° Beam divergence XT-32: 0.021° H / 0.047° V XT-32M2X: 0.056° H / 0.1° V Weight with 24 MP camera XT-32: 1.7 kg XT-32M2X: 1.4 kg Best general fit XT-32: Localized scenes, detailed surfaces and cost-conscious general mapping XT-32M2X: Larger areas, wooded terrain, higher-altitude collection and broader mission flexibility MAXSUR guidance: The M2X is not “more accurate” on the published system specifications. It buys additional range, altitude, field of view, returns and lower weight. The standard XT-32 retains a tighter beam footprint and may be all the scanner an agency needs for localized, accuracy-focused work. RESEPI combines the scanner with positioning, onboard processing, storage and field-control interfaces. More Than a Laser Scanner A Complete Sensor-Fusion Payload for Repeatable Mapping RESEPI—the Remote Sensing Payload Instrument—integrates the LiDAR scanner with an Inertial Labs tactical-grade inertial measurement unit, high-accuracy GNSS, Linux-based computing and mission data logging. The system supports RTK and PPK workflows and can be configured with single- or dual-antenna GNSS. A Wi-Fi interface and web-based controls simplify field operation, while the included 256 GB removable USB storage helps move mission data into the processing workflow. Optional camera and correction-communication configurations allow MAXSUR to build the payload around the agency’s required point-cloud, imagery, GIS or CAD deliverable. Why this matters: Final point-cloud quality depends on the scanner, trajectory, inertial measurements, GNSS conditions, calibration, control and processing. RESEPI packages those elements as a coordinated mapping system rather than leaving the user to synchronize unrelated components. Translated for Government Missions Where the XT-Series Fits MAXSUR Customers These systems are not limited to traditional land surveying. Their combination of portable aerial capture, 360° horizontal scanning and multiple operating modes can support public-safety, emergency and civil-government teams that need a measurable 3D record of a site. Crime and Accident-Scene Documentation Capture roadways, terrain, structures, debris fields and surrounding context from above while reducing the time personnel must remain in traffic lanes, unstable areas or large outdoor scenes. Large collision and crime-scene mapping Measured point clouds for reconstruction and review Scene context beyond individual terrestrial scanner positions Optional RGB imagery for colorization and mapping support Search, Rescue and Emergency Management Map terrain, vegetation, access routes and damaged areas for field planning, operational briefings and post-event assessment. The M2X’s third return and larger coverage envelope are especially relevant when wooded terrain or broad operating areas are expected. Wooded search areas and terrain definition Storm, flood, wildfire and debris assessment Access-route and staging-area planning Pre-event and post-event comparison GIS, Public Works and Civil Engineering Build repeatable geospatial datasets for roads, drainage, corridors, utilities, construction, volumetrics and public assets. The correct scanner should be chosen around area size, required point density, vegetation, flight restrictions and the downstream GIS or CAD product. Roads, rights-of-way and municipal corridors Earthwork, stockpiles and volumetric documentation Utility and infrastructure mapping Point-cloud inputs for GIS, CAD and asset-management workflows Tactical and Pre-Incident Planning Document campuses, correctional facilities, event sites and complex public properties for ingress, egress, perimeter, terrain and obstacle planning. The 360° scanner view can also support mobile and pedestrian mapping configurations where aerial capture alone is insufficient. Your browser does not support embedded MP4 video. Example XT-32 point-cloud tour of a transmission-line environment. XT-32 Example Detailed Capture Without Paying for Unneeded Range The standard XT-32 is a strong match when the operating area can be captured within its recommended altitude and range envelope. Its dual returns, 32 channels, 360° horizontal coverage and tighter beam divergence provide a practical foundation for public infrastructure, localized forensic scenes, site documentation and routine government mapping. Your browser does not support embedded MP4 video. Example XT-32M2X point-cloud tour of a complex electrical substation. XT-32M2X Example Broader Coverage for Large and Complex Operating Areas The M2X adds flexibility where the project footprint, vegetation or flight plan makes additional altitude and returns useful. Its lower payload weight can also preserve more aircraft capacity for practical endurance, integration hardware or other mission requirements. Optional RGB Mapping Add Visual Context to the LiDAR Geometry Both systems can be configured with a 24 MP RGB mapping camera using a Sony E-mount 16 mm lens with an approximately 70° field of view. This adds imagery for point-cloud colorization, site interpretation and supporting mapping products. Camera selection should be driven by the final deliverable. An agency seeking a measurable LiDAR point cloud may not need the same imaging configuration as an engineering team producing orthomosaics or a forensic unit building a combined LiDAR-and-photogrammetry record. MAXSUR can configure the camera, software and control workflow together. From Raw Mission Data to a Usable Deliverable RESEPI Processing and Quality Control 1 Check the Mission in the Field Included field-check capability helps the operator confirm that data was recorded before the aircraft and personnel leave the project location. 2 Process the Trajectory and Point Cloud Use the RESEPI software workflow for pre-processing and supported post-processing of the LiDAR, GNSS and inertial data. 3 Verify Accuracy and Alignment Review control, checkpoints, coordinate systems, flight-line consistency and project conditions before releasing the data as an operational, forensic or engineering product. 4 Export to the Customer’s Workflow Deliver point clouds, surfaces, imagery or derived products into the organization’s preferred GIS, CAD, photogrammetry, reconstruction or asset-management environment. Important: Published scanner and system accuracy are not a substitute for a documented field and processing procedure.
