Product Introduction
Product Overview
The MVP400isahigh-performance, lightweight, medium-range airborne LiDAR system. It is perfectly compatible with the DJI M300/M350 drones for aerial operations. The system integrates a powerful laser scan module, high-precision inertial navigation, and navigation modules, along with other sensors. It uses proprietary waveform processing algorithms and integrated multi-sensor technology to help users capture high-quality data.
The MVP400 features high precision, high point density, and multi-echo capabilities. It is equipped with a Skyport interface, making it directly mountable on M300/M350 drones. It can also be mounted on other UAV platforms via a customized quick-release interface. The compact, lightweight, and integrated design makes the system exceptionally portable. The MVP400 offers excellent ranging capability, with flying altitudes over 400m in typical terrain. Furthermore, the integration of UAV control and LiDAR equipment control, combined with point cloud and image-based intelligent flight parameter algorithms, simplifies flight path planning, greatly lowering the user learning curve. With real-time color point cloud display, users can assess ground features anytime and anywhere, improving data timeliness. The integrated storage design for both laser and camera ensures tight coupling between images and point clouds, reducing manual intervention and enhancing data matching accuracy.
The MVP400 is widely applicable in industries such as power line inspection, terrain surveying, agricultural and forestry surveys, open-pit mining, and disaster monitoring, meeting various data collection needs in different scenarios.

Table 1-3: Performance Metrics at Different Point Frequencies
Notes:
① The laser wavelength is 1550nm.
②The "Recommended Flying Altitude" is calculated based on the maximum range at the edge of the Field of View (FOV) under 20% target reflectivity.
③ Flying altitudes for point frequencies of 500kHz and above are primarily limited by the system's power consumption.
