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.
