3DT Scanfly
A lightweight LiDAR payload that turns a drone, vehicle or backpack into a 3D scanner.
- Type
- LiDAR payload
- Mounting
- Drone, vehicle or backpack
- Method
- Direct georeferencing
- Output
- Classified point cloud
Key features
A single payload that moves between carriers rather than a sensor tied to one platform.
One payload, several carriers
The same unit mounts to a drone, a vehicle or a backpack rig, so a site that mixes aerial and ground access is captured with one sensor and one workflow.
Direct georeferencing
Integrated positioning and orientation put the point cloud on the ground without depending on a dense network of control targets.
Light enough for small airframes
Payload weight is low enough to keep useful endurance on the aircraft, which is what makes LiDAR practical over a long corridor.
Sensor fusion
Laser returns combined with imagery produce a coloured, classifiable point cloud rather than geometry alone.
Technical specifications
Figures depend on the variant in the series and the carrier it is mounted to.
Full specifications on request The Scanfly series covers several configurations with different range, point rate and accuracy figures, and performance also depends on the carrier and flight or drive profile. AECA supplies current manufacturer documentation and a recommendation matched to your survey requirement.
Use cases
Corridor mapping
Highway, rail and utility corridors captured continuously from the air or from a vehicle, in a single pass.
Terrain under canopy
Ground elevation recovered beneath vegetation, where photogrammetry alone records only the canopy surface.
As-built and volumetric survey
Dense geometry for as-built comparison, cut and fill analysis and volume reporting.
Confined and indoor spaces
Backpack mounting reaches interiors and access-restricted areas that neither an aircraft nor a vehicle can cover.
