New Leica CoastalMapper LiDAR sensor significantly speeds up airborne bathymetric mapping
The new solution from Leica Geosystems increases hydrographic survey performance by 250% for shallow to deep waters and provides a flexible data capture solution for multiple applications
(Heerbrugg, Switzerland, 5 February 2025)
Leica
Geosystems, part of Hexagon, today announced the launch of the Leica
CoastalMapper. Thanks to a wider field of view and the ability to be
flown at higher altitudes, the new airborne bathymetric LiDAR solution
increases survey efficiency of coastlines and rivers by 250% compared to
previous sensor generations.
The CoastalMapper brings a new generation of airborne hydrographic mapping solutions to the industry and offers unmatched performance across a wide variety of mapping applications, from infrastructure resilience to river flood monitoring and environmental investigations in shallow and deep waters.
“We aim to empower our community with tools that meet current needs, anticipate future challenges and push the boundaries of bathymetric mapping," says Anders Ekelund, Vice President of Airborne Bathymetric LiDAR at Leica Geosystems. “We’re beyond pleased to offer our customers this radically enhanced system for more detailed and efficient surveys. Powering easier yet more comprehensive data analysis and supporting a broad range of bathymetric applications, the CoastalMapper opens mapping possibilities that were hard to achieve before.”
Redefining bathymetric efficiency
The CoastMapper combines a new high-performance bathymetric LiDAR
module with a Leica TerrainMapper-3 topographic LiDAR and imaging sensor
into a compact and lightweight sensor head. The system captures up to
one million data points per second with the bathymetric channel and up
to two million points per second with the topographic channel, while
providing imagery at a 5-centimetre ground sampling distance (GSD) at
common flying heights.
Simultaneous collection of bathymetric and topographic LiDAR as well as imaging enables broad data capture in a single flight, which significantly reduces the survey time, operational costs and environmental impact of each mission. Uniquely, the system can be mounted to a helicopter, enabling surveying in complex environments, such as rivers with steep mountainous terrain.
Maximum productivity for flexible applications
The CoastalMapper fully integrates with Leica Geosystems' established
and trusted airborne mapping workflows, minimising training time and
simplifying operations for existing customers. Thanks to cluster
processing capability, users can efficiently analyse large data sets,
reducing the time from data collection to deliverable, such as
classified point clouds, digital terrain and surface models and imaging
products.
