In this week’s RIEGL RiCAST, Michael Sitar, RIEGL USA’s Division Manager of Airborne Laser Scanning is joined by Dr. Martin Pfennigbauer, Director of Research and Intellectual Property at RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems.

Tune in as they dive even deeper into LiDAR Bathymetry, and provide further information on RIEGL’s latest bathymetric sensors and software for airborne data collected on both manned and unmanned platforms.Dr. Martin Pfennigbauer holds a PhD in engineering from Vienna University of Technology. He has been with RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems since 2005 and currently serves as the director of research and intellectual property. He manages research projects funded by the European Space Agency, the European Union, and Austrian national funds. He is the product manager for hydrographic airborne laser scanning systems. His special interest is the design and development of LiDAR instruments for surveying applications, with a focus on rangefinder design, waveform processing and point cloud analysis.

About RIEGL:

RIEGL is an international leading provider of cutting-edge technology in airborne, mobile, terrestrial, industrial and unmanned laser scanning solutions.

RIEGL has been producing LiDAR systems commercially and focuses on pulsed time-of-flight laser radar technology in multiple wavelengths.

RIEGL’s core technology, the digitization of LiDAR signals (“Waveform LiDAR”), provides unique methodologies for resolving range ambiguities, multiple targets per laser shots, optimum distribution of measurements, calibrated amplitudes and reflectance estimates, as well as the seamless integration and calibration of systems.

RIEGL’s Ultimate LiDARTM 3D scanners offer a wide array of performance characteristics and serve as a platform for continuing Innovation in 3D for the LiDAR industry.

From the first inquiry, to purchase and integration of the system, as well as training and support, RIEGL maintains an outstanding history of reliability and support to their customers.

Worldwide sales, training, support and services are delivered from RIEGL’s headquarters in Austria; main offices in the USA, Japan, China, Australia and Canada; and a worldwide network of representatives.
