RESEPI LITE AVIA Drone LiDAR System

Inertial Labs RESEPI LITE Livox Avia Ultra-Lightweight Drone LiDAR for Linear Assets, Corridors and Rapid Government Mapping The RESEPI LITE Avia combines a Livox Avia laser scanner, Inertial Labs positioning technology, onboard computing and optional RGB imaging in one of the lightest complete RESEPI configurations available. At approximately 0.9 kg without the camera and 1.2 kg with the mapping camera, Avia reduces the burden on the aircraft and helps preserve flight endurance. Its focused scanning pattern concentrates measurements within a narrower field of view, making it particularly useful for thin objects and long, linear missions where point density matters more than complete 360-degree scene coverage. 0.9 kg without camera Triple-return LiDAR Only 16 W power consumption Request a Configured Quote Explore All Drone LiDAR Compact RESEPI sensor-fusion architecture with LiDAR, precision navigation, onboard processing and optional RGB imaging. RESEPI Sensor Fusion More Than a Laser Scanner RESEPI integrates the LiDAR scanner with a GPS-aided inertial navigation system, tactical-grade Inertial Labs IMU, single- or dual-antenna GNSS, onboard Linux processing and data logging. The payload can be operated with a hardware button or through a wirelessly connected device using a straightforward web interface. RTK and PPK workflows support accurate positioning, while optional camera integration adds visual context for point-cloud colorization, corridor documentation and complementary photogrammetry. What makes Avia different: This is not the RESEPI configuration selected for the widest possible scene coverage. It is selected when low payload weight, concentrated point density and efficient collection along a defined corridor are the priority. Performance at a Glance Built for Endurance and Focused Data Collection 0.9 kg Payload weight without the optional camera 1.2 kg Payload weight with the 24 MP mapping camera 85 m Recommended maximum operating altitude AGL 190 m Published range to suitable 10% reflectivity targets 3 returns Maximum returns per pulse for layered terrain and vegetation information 16 W Low payload power consumption Mission-Focused Applications Where the RESEPI LITE Avia Earns Its Keep Avia is most compelling when the project follows a corridor, contains difficult-to-detect thin objects or benefits directly from a lighter payload and longer usable flight time. Critical Infrastructure and Utility Corridors Powerlines, communications cables and similar assets can be difficult to represent because they are narrow and may occupy only a small part of the scan area. Avia concentrates laser measurements into a focused scan window, helping these linear features stand out in the point cloud. Transmission and distribution lines Telecommunications corridors Poles, conductors and associated right-of-way features Post-storm utility inspection and access assessment Emergency Management and Linear Damage Assessment The low weight and concentrated collection pattern are well suited to rapid mapping along a defined route after storms, floods, wildfires or infrastructure failures. Road and evacuation-route assessment Levees, drainage corridors and flood-control infrastructure Rail, trail and pipeline inspections Long, narrow search areas and access corridors Airports, Transportation and Civil Government Avia can maintain useful point concentration while collecting long, narrow assets such as runways, roadways and transportation rights of way. Airport runways and surrounding infrastructure Roadway and rail corridor mapping Public works asset inventories GIS base data for long linear projects Public Safety and Forensic Use Avia can support public-safety documentation when the scene itself is linear—for example, an extended roadway incident, rail event, flood path or utility-related emergency. It can also provide terrain and corridor context around a larger response area. Extended roadway and rail incidents Utility-related crime or damage documentation Route, perimeter and access mapping Supplemental aerial context for ground-based scene capture Important selection guidance: For dense building geometry, comprehensive 360-degree scene capture or the most accuracy-focused crime and accident-scene reconstruction, another RESEPI configuration may be a better primary choice. Avia is strongest when its low weight and focused point density directly match the mission. Focused Scan Geometry Why a Narrower Field of View Can Be an Advantage Many LiDAR buyers assume that a wider field of view is always better. For a corridor mission, however, spreading measurements across a large area can place fewer points on the feature that matters most. Avia's approximately 70.4-degree horizontal field of view concentrates the scan across the flight path. Depending on the selected scanning pattern, the published vertical field of view can vary substantially. This allows the operator to tailor collection around point concentration, corridor width and the target geometry. Operational benefit: A lighter payload and focused scan pattern can support faster corridor collection while preserving useful point density on conductors, narrow assets and long strips of terrain. Optional RGB Mapping Add Visual Context Without Giving Up a Compact Payload 24 MP RGB Mapping Camera The optional 24 MP camera uses a Sony E-mount 16 mm lens with an approximately 70-degree field of view. It can provide imagery for point-cloud colorization, site context and complementary mapping products. Colorized point clouds Utility and transportation asset documentation Orthomosaic and photogrammetry workflows when properly planned Better communication with nontechnical stakeholders Camera availability and final payload weight depend on the selected configuration. Image-based deliverables also depend on flight planning, image overlap, lighting, processing software and ground-control methods. From Flight to Deliverable A Practical RESEPI Avia Workflow 1 Define the Corridor Establish the required width, altitude, flight speed, line spacing, target features and final deliverables. 2 Collect LiDAR and Navigation Data Fly the configured route while the RESEPI payload records LiDAR, GNSS and inertial information, with optional RGB imagery. 3 Verify the Mission Use included field-check capabilities to confirm that the required corridor and critical features were captured before leaving the site. 4 Process and Deliver Complete pre-processing and supported post-processing, then export the required point-cloud, GIS, CAD, colorization or mapping deliverables. Get the Payload Airborne Match the Avia to the Right Drone Platform Avia's low weight expands the range of professional aircraft that may be considered. The final aircraft still must be evaluated for payload power, integration interface, center of gravity, endurance, operating environment, regulatory requirements and the camera configuration.
