Resources
Applications
Power Line Surveying and Mapping
The Livox AVIA offers long‑range detection that allows mapping equipment to operate at higher altitudes with greater efficiency. Its unique spot shape provides superior resolution for thin objects such as power lines, while the distinctive repetitive scanning mode enhances surveying precision and overall 3D mapping accuracy.
Forestry Surveying and Mapping
In complex natural environments, the Livox AVIA leverages its triple‑return feature to capture more point clouds from tree canopies and terrain details. This ensures high‑accuracy LiDAR‑based 3D mapping for forestry applications.
Mobile Surveying and Mapping
For mobile mapping and perception tasks where space and weight are critical, the Livox AVIA weighs less than 500 g, making integration simple. Its built‑in IMU continuously outputs posture and acceleration data, providing redundant information to improve mapping reliability.
Smart Cities
With a field of view over 70°, the Livox AVIA captures larger scenarios in a single scan, while its long‑range capability records distant details. Livox’s unique non‑repetitive scanning mode enables point cloud coverage to rapidly approach 100% over time, generating high‑density models with photo‑like resolution for smart city applications.
More Details about Livox AVIA
Long Detection Range
The Livox AVIA dynamically adjusts its detection range according to ambient light. Under low‑light conditions, it achieves up to 450 m, ensuring distant objects are captured clearly while maintaining low noise levels.
Dual‑Scanning Mode
Equipped with multi‑line laser and high‑speed scanning, the Livox AVIA delivers point cloud rates up to 240,000 points/s. It supports both repetitive and non‑repetitive scanning modes to meet diverse mapping requirements.
Non‑Repetitive Circular Scanning
In non‑repetitive mode, coverage increases over time, improving detection of objects and details within the FOV. This mode is ideal for traditional 3D mapping and low‑speed autonomous driving.
Repetitive Line Scanning
The repetitive mode enables the Livox AVIA to deliver high precision and uniform point cloud distribution, suitable for agricultural fields, forests, hill slopes, and construction site inspections.
Light, Compact and Easily Integrated
The Livox AVIA connects via standard conversion cables and includes M12 circular connectors, making it easy to embed in systems with limited space.
