DJI's next-generation high-accuracy aerial LiDAR system features a long-range LiDAR capable of reaching up to 950 m ^[1] even on objects with just 10% reflectivity. Dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras and a high-precision POS system accelerate geospatial data acquisition, enabling daily coverage of up to 100 km².

1535nm Long-Range LiDAR

Zenmuse L3 achieves a maximum detection range of 950 m ^[1] at a pulse rate of 100 kHz, tested under 100 klx ambient light and on objects with 10% reflectivity. The adjustable pulse rate allows for flexible power output and optimal adaptation to different operational scenarios. Typical flight altitudes of 300 to 500 m significantly ^[3] expand single-flight coverage and boost mapping efficiency.

Dual 100MP RGB Mapping Camera System

Zenmuse L3 delivers significant improvements in both point cloud and RGB accuracy, while raising efficiency to new heights. Paired with DJI Matrice 400, a single flight can cover up to 10 km², enabling up to 100 km² of high-accuracy mapping per day ^[2]. Large-area, high-accuracy results are delivered in a seamless workflow.

Superior Penetration

With a smaller laser spot and higher single-pulse energy, Zenmuse L3 offers superior penetration capability. In terrain mapping and similar applications, it captures more ground points with greater completeness, significantly improving the accuracy and integrity of terrain data for precise surface fitting and reconstruction.

High Efficiency

Up to 100 km² per Day | When mounted on DJI Matrice 400, Zenmuse L3 delivers outstanding efficiency. At a flight altitude of 300m, a single flight can cover up to 10km², enabling up to 100 km² of daily coverage.

Multiple Deliverables in a Single Flight | Simultaneously captures Lidar and RGB daya to generate a range of mapping products from a single flight, incuding DEM, DOM, and more.

Data Acquisition

The Zenmuse L3 transforms aerial mapping from a multi-day process into efficient single-mission operations. Its long-range LiDAR capabilities enable high-altitude flights that cover massive areas while maintaining survey-grade accuracy, dramatically reducing flight time and operational costs.

The integrated dual 100MP cameras capture synchronized RGB imagery alongside LiDAR point clouds, eliminating the need for separate photogrammetry missions. With the high-precision POS system providing continuous position and orientation data, the L3 delivers georeferenced point clouds with minimal ground control requirements.
