We’re excited to announce a major leap forward for Interpine’s drone services team: the integration of the DJI Zenmuse L3 LiDAR sensor into our fleet. This upgrade represents a new era in precision forestry mapping and large-scale terrain analysis.

What This Means for Our Clients?

By upgrading to the DJI L3, Interpine can now deliver faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive forest mapping solutions at scale with our drone services. Whether you need inventory assessments, terrain modelling, or precision silviculture planning, our enhanced capabilities ensure data quality and operational efficiency at scale.

  • With LiDAR capture capable from higher above ground level, more area scanned per flight line, further flight range with flight control communications, and line of sight.
  • With high returns per pulse, more tree level detail.
  • With narrow beam diligence, providing precision tree level and ground data.

Why the DJI Zenmuse L3?

The L3 is a long-range, survey-grade LiDAR system, designed to deliver exceptional accuracy and efficiency for forestry and environmental applications.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • Unmatched Range and Coverage
    Operates at 1535 nm wavelength, enabling scanning at 500 m AGL. This means fewer flights and faster coverage of extensive forest areas.
  • Dual 100 MP RGB Cameras with ultrawide Field of View
    Capturing true-colour orthophotos alongside LiDAR point clouds in a single mission. This dual capability reduces operational time and provides richer datasets for analysis.
  • High Precision and Detail
    With a laser beam divergence of just 0.25 mrad, the L3 delivers ultra-fine spot sizes for accurate reconstruction of complex terrain and vegetation structures.
  • Vegetation Penetration
    Supports up to 16 returns per pulse, ensuring superior ground-model accuracy even under dense canopy—critical for forestry inventory and silviculture planning.
  • Adaptive Scanning Modes
    Choose from Linear, Star-Shaped, or Non-Repetitive patterns to match mission requirements, whether for corridor mapping or broad terrain surveys.
  • Smart Mission Features
    Real-time terrain following and powerline tracking simplify operations in challenging environments.
