Teledyne Geospatial LiDAR Powered by Inertial Labs RESEPI
Secure, Lightweight Drone LiDAR for Public-Sector Mapping
The Teledyne EchoONE combines a long-range airborne laser scanner,
a standard 5 MP colorization camera and Inertial Labs RESEPI positioning
technology in a compact 1.65 kg payload. Public safety, emergency
management and civil government teams can capture detailed,
georeferenced 3D data over scenes and areas that are difficult,
dangerous or time-consuming to document from the ground.
From major crime and accident scenes to disaster assessment, tactical
site planning, infrastructure mapping and GIS development, EchoONE is
designed to produce clean point clouds while keeping the aircraft package
deployable and field-friendly. EchoONE may also be purchased with the
optional Sony ILX-LR1 61 MP global-shutter camera for higher-fidelity
colorization, orthomosaics and photogrammetry.

Long Range Without a Heavy Payload
Capture More Area While Preserving Aircraft Flexibility
EchoONE weighs only 1.65 kg, allowing it to operate on a broader range of
professional UAV platforms than many heavy airborne scanning systems.
For agencies, that can mean easier transportation, faster field setup and
more practical deployment from vehicles or temporary command posts.
The scanner provides up to 270 m maximum measuring range in its 400 kHz
mode and up to 220 m in its faster 600 kHz mode when measuring suitable
20% reflectivity targets under specified conditions. Its narrow 0.5 mrad
beam divergence helps preserve useful detail as distance increases.
Why this matters in the field: Operators can select a
pulse-rate profile that balances range and point density for the
mission instead of treating every crime scene, corridor or disaster
area the same way.
EchoONE generates an undecimated, georeferenced point cloud on the sensor
in real time. The pilot or mapping team can review captured LAS data in
the field and identify a gap before aircraft, personnel and scene-control
resources are demobilized.
RESEPI PCMaster Pro supports streamlined post-processing, inertial-data
processing, colorization, visualization, measurement and workflow
automation. Optional Teledyne LMS Professional adds advanced tools for
coordinate systems, boresight calibration, strip alignment, control
points and visual quality control.
For time-sensitive incidents: In-field quality review
can reduce the risk of discovering missing coverage after a roadway
reopens, evidence is moved, floodwater changes or an emergency scene is
released.
Optional Sony ILX-LR1 61 MP global-shutter camera for higher-fidelity colorization and simultaneous imagery capture.
Optional 61 MP Global-Shutter Camera
Upgrade EchoONE With the Sony ILX-LR1
EchoONE's standard integrated 5 MP colorization camera uses a rolling
shutter. It provides useful visual context for the LiDAR point cloud,
but motion during image capture can introduce geometric skew and
alignment artifacts.
EchoONE can be purchased with the Sony ILX-LR1, a 61 MP
global-shutter camera that captures the entire image frame at once.
This significantly improves the geometric consistency of the imagery
used to colorize the point cloud and strengthens associated
orthomosaic and photogrammetry deliverables.
More accurate point-cloud colorization with reduced motion distortion
Higher-resolution imagery for detailed engineering and infrastructure documentation
Stronger orthomosaic and photogrammetry outputs from the same mission
Improved visual records for crime scenes and accident reconstruction
A practical option when both precise LiDAR and evidentiary-quality imagery are required
Especially valuable for engineering and public safety:
The global shutter helps preserve the location and shape of details
captured while the aircraft is moving—important when imagery may be
measured, compared, modeled or incorporated into a formal crime,
crash or infrastructure record.

EchoONE Operational Advantages
Sensor Capabilities Translated Into Field Benefits
The value of a LiDAR system is how the laser, field of view, camera,
inertial system and aircraft integration work together over a real
mission.
Long Range and Vegetation Returns
Up to eight returns per pulse can help distinguish vegetation structure from ground surfaces for search areas, terrain modeling and wooded public land.
Wide-Angle Perspective
A 90-degree horizontal field of view and four vertical scan angles help capture broad swaths along with poles, walls and facades.
Standard and Optional Camera Configurations
The standard 5 MP rolling-shutter camera adds visual context to the point cloud. The optional Sony ILX-LR1 adds 61 MP global-shutter imagery for more accurate colorization, orthomosaics and photogrammetry.
Detailed, Low-Noise Data
A documented 10 mm range accuracy and 5 mm ranging precision support detailed measurements, modeling and repeatable geospatial workflows.
Ultra-Lightweight Design
At 1.65 kg, EchoONE preserves more of the aircraft's payload and endurance envelope while reducing the size of the deployment package.
Tactical-Grade Inertial Measurement
The Inertial Labs KERNEL-210 IMU supports accurate point-cloud positioning and orientation when combined with appropriate GNSS, processing and control practices.
Wide-Area Mapping Capability695Example acres captured in 30 minutes
Scale From a Single Scene to a Large Operational Area
Under the manufacturer's example mission profile of 120 m AGL, 8 m/s
flight speed and 20% sidelap, EchoONE can cover approximately 695 acres,
or 281 hectares, in a 30-minute flight.
That scale can be valuable for regional damage assessments,
post-disaster documentation, large search areas, correctional or
government campuses, transportation corridors and municipal GIS
programs.
Example coverage is not a guaranteed production rate. Actual results
depend on aircraft endurance, regulations, terrain, weather, target
reflectivity, speed, altitude, overlap, point-density requirements and
mission configuration.
