GreenValley LiAir X3C-H: Integrated Aerial and Handheld LiDAR Solution

The GreenValley LiAir X3C-H is a compact, high-performance UAV LiDAR system designed to provide professional-grade 3D mapping capabilities in a lightweight package. Weighing only 1.12 kg (2.47 lbs), this system integrates a 32-channel HESAI LiDAR sensor, a 26 MP high-resolution mapping camera, and a self-developed inertial navigation system (INS) into a single, sleek housing. It is specifically engineered for high-accuracy applications such as power-line inspection, topographic surveying, and forestry management, where precision and efficiency are paramount.

By combining aerial data collection with SLAM-enabled handheld capabilities, the X3C-H offers a versatile solution for capturing centimeter-level point clouds in both GNSS-rich and GNSS-denied environments.

LiAir X3C-H core features and advantages

• Integrated design: Combines LiDAR, 26 MP camera, and INS in one unit.
• 32-channel sensor: High-density data capture with HESAI rotating scan technology.
• Centimeter accuracy: Delivers 5 cm vertical accuracy at 70 m flight altitude.
• SLAM integration: Enables mapping in signal-blocked indoor and outdoor spaces.
• Triple return: Captures up to 1,920,000 points per second for dense foliage penetration.
• Mapping camera: Built-in 26 MP sensor for high-quality true-color point clouds.
• Handheld versatility: Quick-release design transforms aerial unit into a handheld scanner.
• Long endurance: Handheld battery kit provides up to 3 hours of operation.
• Efficient storage: One-touch data copying from 256 GB TF card for fast workflows.

Precision performance for demanding enterprise surveying missions

The LiAir X3C-H represents a leap in operational efficiency, capable of surveying up to 100,000 m² per hour with a point density exceeding 10,000 pts/m². Its multi-return capability allows field operators to bypass dense vegetation to reach the ground surface, ensuring reliable topographic models.

The system’s high-precision fusion algorithms merge POS data with laser measurements to achieve centimeter-level results, providing the absolute coordinate accuracy required for professional civil engineering and asset integrity projects. This integration ensures that every flight delivers actionable, high-fidelity 3D intelligence for critical infrastructure.

Optimized for operational readiness

Designed to fit into modern enterprise workflows, the LiAir X3C-H features an "all-in-one" design that minimizes setup time and eliminates the need for complex external wiring. The system is built to survive the rigors of the field, operating in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F). Its ability to switch between drone-mounted and handheld modes ensures that no area—whether it's a dense forest floor or a deep mine shaft—is left unmapped. This interoperability allows teams to maintain a single hardware standard across multiple deployment scenarios.

The GreenValley LiAir X3C-H is a definitive tool for professionals requiring high-density 3D data across varied environments. By unifying aerial LiDAR with handheld SLAM capabilities, it solves the challenge of maintaining coordinate accuracy in complex or GNSS-denied areas. Its lightweight, integrated construction delivers long-term operational value and consistent centimeter-level results for critical surveying missions.
