YellowScan, a global leader in aerial Lidar solutions, has partnered with DeltaQuad, a premier Dutch drone manufacturer, to introduce the Surveyor Ultra, seamlessly integrated into DeltaQuad’s advanced drone technology. This collaboration promises to revolutionize UAV-based LiDAR mapping by significantly boosting productivity and efficiency for large-scale projects.
By combining YellowScan’s Surveyor Ultra with the DeltaQuad Evo platform, users can achieve unprecedented levels of productivity. This powerful integration allows for the collection of high-precision, high-density data across 1,200 hectares in a single flight. With the added capability of an embedded RGB camera, operators can simultaneously capture Lidar and RGB data, enabling them to cover expansive areas more quickly. This innovation not only streamlines project timelines but also reduces costs without sacrificing quality.
Julien Bo, senior business development Europe at YellowScan, highlighted the value of this integration: “The combination of the YellowScan Surveyor Ultra and DeltaQuad’s advanced Evo drone platform is designed to maximize productivity in the field. Users can now achieve faster, more detailed results, whether they are working on large infrastructure projects, forestry analysis, or environmental monitoring. Our users can now deliver georeferenced Lidar pointcloud, colorize them with RGB data, generate Digital Terrain Models in a few clicks and if needed generate orthophoto as well from a 2h30 long flight from the Evo: a must for productivity.”
Mapping expansive areas
The DeltaQuad Evo long-range flight capabilities and efficient VTOL design make it very suitable for mapping expansive areas. When paired with the Surveyor Ultra’s cutting-edge Lidar technology, which delivers dense point clouds even at higher altitudes, users can dramatically streamline their workflows, reducing time spent in the air and on post-processing tasks.
DeltaQuad solution specialist Benji Pauly noted the partnership’s impact on increasing user productivity: “Integrating YellowScan’s Surveyor Ultra with our DeltaQuad Evo platform is a step forward in aerial surveying efficiency. By combining long-range flight capabilities with high-precision Lidar, we’ve created a solution that helps professionals do more in less time. This partnership is all about empowering users to work smarter, not harder.”
As demand for fast, reliable, and precise geospatial data continues to rise, the YellowScan and DeltaQuad partnership offers a solution that enhances both operational efficiency and project turnaround time. This breakthrough is set to benefit a wide range of industries, including surveying, construction, forestry, and environmental research.
