Zenmuse L2

Extended range.
High precision.

Zenmuse L2 combines frame-based LiDAR, a high-accuracy IMU and a 4/3 CMOS RGB mapping camera on a three-axis gimbal. DJI Pilot 2 and DJI Terra provide a workflow from data collection to point-cloud generation.

APPLICATIONS AND PERFORMANCE

Capture the site in detail.

01 / LIDAR SCANNING

More detail
in complex terrain.

Repetitive scanning supports uniform point distribution for mapping. Non-repetitive scanning provides a wider vertical field of view for tasks such as power-line inspection and forestry.

02 / MULTIPLE RETURNS

See beyond
the vegetation.

Support for up to five returns helps record signals reaching the ground through dense vegetation. Tree structure and terrain surfaces can be evaluated in separate layers.

03 / RGB MAPPING

Add true colour
to your measurements.

The 20 MP RGB camera and mechanical shutter support true-colour point clouds. Visible-light images can also be collected for missions that do not require LiDAR recording.

Measurement conditions and operating notes
Accuracy referenceDJI laboratory test: Matrice 350 RTK; RTK FIX; repetitive scanning; IMU calibration enabled; 150 m relative altitude; 15 m/s; gimbal −90°; straight flight segments under 1500 m; open hard-surface checkpoints. Point-cloud accuracy optimisation in DJI Terra is enabled.
Effect of optimisationIn the same test, disabling optimisation results in 4 cm vertical and 8 cm horizontal accuracy.
Sensing distanceReflectivity, ambient illumination, target geometry and atmospheric conditions affect range. Detection range is not a guarantee of flight altitude or accuracy.
