DJI Zenmuse L3

SEE THROUGH, FAR, & TRUE

DJI's next-generation high-accuracy aerial LiDAR system features a long-range LiDAR capable of reaching up to 950m (defined as the distance at which 50% of the emitted laser pulses are detected) even on objects with just 10% reflectivity. Dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras and a high-precision POS system accelerate geospatial data acquisition, enabling daily coverage of up to 100 km². When paired with DJI Matrice 400, Zenmuse, L3 can achieve a daily mapping coverage of up to 100 km² (flat terrain, 300m nadir flight altitude, 20% side overlap, 17m/s flight speed, and a total effective flight time of 6 hours).

LONG RANGE, WIDE COVERAGE

Zenmuse L3 achieves a maximum detection range of 950 m at a pulse rate of 100 kHz, tested under 100 klx ambient light and on objects with 10% reflectivity. The adjustable pulse rate allows for flexible power output and optimal adaptation to different operational scenarios. Typical flight altitudes of 300 to 500 m significantly expand single-flight coverage and boost mapping efficiency.

SMALL SPOT, HIGH ENERGY

With a laser beam divergence of just 0.25 mrad (1/e²), the spot size at the same range is about one-fifth that of Zenmuse L2, enabling detection of smaller objects such as power lines and branches. Higher energy density results in stronger penetration capability, significantly increasing ground point density beneath vegetation and enabling high-accuracy reconstruction of complex terrains and structures.

HIGH PULSE RATE, MULTIPLE RETURNS

With maximum laser pulse emission frequency of 2 million pulses per second and support for up to 16 returns, Zenmuse L3 delivers highly accurate spatial reconstruction. Point cloud density and penetration capability can be adjusted to fit needs from high-accuracy mapping to complex environments.

SCANNING MODES

Supports Linear, Star-Shaped, and Non-Repetitive scanning modes for different operational scenarios:
• Linear: Achieves more consistent point cloud distribution, ideal for high-accuracy terrain mapping.
• Star-Shaped: Balances accuracy with multiple scan angles and penetration capability, well-suited for forests or dense urban environments.
• Non-Repetitive: Provides multiple scan angles and broader coverage, optimized for power line inspections and other complex structural surveys.

HARDWARE PERFORMANCE REDEFINED

Zenmuse L3 integrates a 1535nm long-range LiDAR, dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras, a high-precision POS system, and a three-axis gimbal, all within a compact device, delivering unprecedented performance for its size.
