The southwest mountainous area has high mountains deep valleys, and rapid rivers. The abundant water volume and huge drop have formed extremely rich water resources. National hydropower construction is blooming all over the southwest. The representatives Baihetan and Wudongde are on the Three Gorges level in terms of installed capacity and water storage scale.


The survey area for this trip is located on both sides of a certain river in Tibet. Hundreds of millions of years of water cutting have carved a deep ravine on the towering Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. From the highest snow-capped mountains nearby to the bottom of the valley where the river flows, there is a vertical drop of two More than a thousand meters, the horizontal distance is only six or seven kilometers. The difficulty of flying in such steep terrain is evident. The task of the survey area is to complete the terrain and feature survey in the early stage of construction of a hydropower station in Tibet. The survey area is a valley area with a length of 32km and a width ranging from 1km to 5km. The altitude is between 3300m and 4000m. The rapid changes in weather have increased the difficulty of aerial survey operations.

Currently, there are two main types of UAV airborne lidar. One is a short-range laser of about 250m, which is low-cost, short-range, and suitable for small-scale terrain data acquisition. The other is a long-range laser of 1500m and above, which is heavy. Large, high cost, suitable for large-scale terrain data acquisition for large models. The successful development of DV-LiDAR600 has filled the gap in lightweight medium-range lidar. The device has a total weight of 2345g and a maximum range of 1000m. It can be mounted on the V10/D20/D500 intelligent drone system for efficient operations. DV-LiDAR600 integrates a full-frame camera module and uses a 28mm focal length aspherical lens to acquire orthophoto data with appropriate resolution while collecting laser data.
