Sample Data – CHCNAV AA10
This aerial dataset was captured using the CHCNAV AlphaAir 10 (AA10) — a high-performance LiDAR scanner capable of recording up to
8 returns per pulse. Designed for forestry, terrain, and vegetation mapping, the AA10 sets a new standard in its weight class for
penetration through dense canopy and fine feature detection.
In this sample, you can clearly distinguish individual tree stumps and trunks, making it ideal for biomass analysis, tree segmentation, and forestry inventory applications.
The unmatched return density ensures nothing is missed — even in the most cluttered or occluded environments.
