Optech Announces New ALTM Technology Platform

"We are very excited to offer to the professional surveying community a new airborne lidar technology", said Don Carswell, President of Optech. "The industry looks to Optech as a pioneer in lidar technology to develop new mapping sensor capabilities. The ALTM Pegasus embodies this innovation heritage with a unique platform architecture and unprecedented data collection capability."

Pegasus represents a new paradigm in lidar mapping and imaging technology. Unique features integral to the sensor design, such as a multiple look-angle approach to data collection, an impressive operational envelope and fully embedded digital camera solutions ranging from 5 to 60 Megapixels, enable the highest quality datasets available to the end-user.

Optech will have an ALTM Pegasus HD400 active imaging system in our aircraft at the ASPRS/MAPPS Fall Conference in San Antonio, Texas, on 16-19 November 2009.
