Alabama-based LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology developer GeoCue announced their newest additions to their TrueView lineup of sensors- the TV1 and the TV1 Lite. These new, survey-grade geospatial sensors are designed for accuracy and affordability, bringing high-performance drone survey technology to a wider audience.
The TrueView 1 Lite, GeoCue’s most accessible LiDAR sensor yet, is “designed to bring survey-grade accuracy to all.” At a price point of $18,990, customers receive the TrueView 1 Lite along with a full year of TV1 Lite Annual Processing, including a comprehensive support and maintenance plan. After the first year, users can take advantage of convenient annual renewal. This performance is powered by the innovative TrueNav, with a proven Hesai, 32 channels laser scanner, and a FLIR 5MP Global Shutter Camera with a 90º FOV.
“The TV1 Lite makes cutting edge LiDAR technology available for almost everyone,” said Frank Darmayan, CEO of GeoCue. “We’re committed to expanding professional LiDAR solutions that are not only advanced but also attainable, ensuring every professional can leverage the power of precise data collection. This is the ultimate starter solution for anyone looking to step into the world of precise mapping without the high cost.”
For users who need even more flexibility, the TrueView 1 offers customizable options starting with a choice of a 26 MP, 45 MP, or 61 MP camera. You can then choose the Trajectory Correction Service with either the Single Base processing Option, for PPK, or the Complete/No Base Station processing option, with Trimble PP-RTX unlimited trajectory processing (which can help mitigate errors involved with the use of a base station. Included in the annual plan is LP360 Drone software processing, along with ongoing maintenance and support.
“The TrueView 1 affords you the flexibility to create the system best suited for your work. By adding these new options to our product line, we are expanding our LiDAR footprint and demonstrating that TrueView systems offer a complete solution, from hardware to software, including data collection and deliverable creation. This is a testament to our commitment to providing not just tools, but solutions that include support and training to ensure success for our users,” said Vivien Heriard Dubreuil, CEO of GeoCue’s France-based parent company, mdGroup.
