Leica CountryMapper Hybrid Airborne Sensor

The world’s first hybrid imaging & LiDAR system for large-area airborne mapping


Putting your data to work - Pure Surveying… and Much More


At Hexagon, we believe that technology should help you grow your business, improve productivity and be intuitive to use. Every day we work on innovating powerful technologies that not only enable you to overcome challenges, but also feel more human.

At INTERGEO 2020 Digital, the world’s premier event for surveying and geoinformation, we are focusing on this human-to-human interaction. Hexagon is providing a platform for you to hear and interact with the experts who will present and demonstrate the latest innovations and technologies, allowing you to put data to work.

We are committed to 100% digital, real networking. Join Hexagon online as we “Discover, Learn and Connect” with you from anywhere in the world.

High-resolution camera

With over 31,000 pixels across the swath, the camera system provides superior collection efficiency for large-area coverage. CMOS-based Leica MFC150 camera modules leverage true mechanical forward-motion-compensation (FMC) to deliver industry leading image quality, even at faster aircraft speeds and in challenging lighting conditions.

Full performance LiDAR unit

The CountryMapper features the new Hyperion3 LiDAR unit that, with a 60 degrees field of view, significantly improves the performance and flexibility of the system compared to previous generations. Operating at a pulse rate of 2 MHz, the LiDAR module provides reduced laser divergence, enabling greater planimetric accuracy and better foliage penetration.

Foundational Geospatial Data

The sensor enables simultaneous collection of aerial images, LiDAR point clouds, DSM and DTM in just one flight. Matching camera and LiDAR modules provide superior geometric and temporal data consistency to support applications such as orthophoto generation, terrain mapping, hydrography, forestry monitoring and infrastructure management.
