Optech Galaxy

Features & Benefits

• PulseTRAK technology replaces conventional multi-pulse technologies for high PRFs at high altitude
• SwathTRAK technology moves collection efficiency to a whole new level by dynamically modifying the scan field of view during collection to maintain fixed swath widths and even point distribution, even in variable terrain
• 2 MHz effective PRF provides on-the-ground point density and efficiency formerly reserved for dual-beam sensors
• Industry-leading data precision and accuracy for the highest-quality datasets possible
• Up to 8 returns per pulse provide increased vertical resolution of complex targets without the need for full waveform recording and processing (waveform recorder optionally available)
• Trusted Platform Module 2.0
• Industry-leading discrete timing electronics for pulse pair separation (i.e. minimum target separation distance) of less than 0.7 m (or less with optional waveform recorder)
• Wide dynamic range enables exceptional small-target detection capability and capture of even the smallest details
• Real-time XYZI point clouds in LAS format enable immediate data deliverables
• In-air lidar point cloud display for maximum collection confidence

Optech Galaxy

Production-focused workflow software with automated calibration and boresight capability using rigorous least squares methods and robust bundle block adjustment for both lidar and camera within a single workflow, enabling truly coincident datasets and quantified accuracies

The G2 Sensor System

Teledyne Optech’s new G2 sensor system for the ALTM Galaxy is the perfect solution for doubling your collection efficiency and productivity on those really large survey projects.
Designed specifically for the USGS 3DEP lidar program collections, the G2 sensor system enables efficiency and resolution comparable to FLASH lidar while maintaining independent range measurement and superior data fidelity.
Leveraging the compact form factor of the award winning ALTM Galaxy, the G2 sensor system​​ combines two Galaxy sensor heads and a 150MP camera over a standard 19" aircraft sensor portal.
