The DJI Zenmuse L3 represents the latest advancement in DJI’s enterprise LiDAR technology, designed for seamless integration with the DJI Matrice 400 and other compatible platforms. Engineered for high-precision mapping, inspection, and geospatial applications, the L3 combines a next-generation LiDAR system, dual RGB mapping cameras, and a high-accuracy IMU to deliver survey-grade results with exceptional efficiency.

Exceptional Precision and Performance

ertical accuracy is better than 3 cm at 120m altitude, better than 5 cm at 300m, and better than 10 cm at 500 m, the Zenmuse L3 enables survey-grade precision across diverse operational environments.

Each system is meticulously calibrated and validated using DJI’s D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station, ensuring stable and reliable data collection across missions.

Advanced LiDAR System

The L3’s LiDAR module delivers exceptional range and density, featuring:

• Detection Range: maximum detection range of 950m at a pulse rate of 100 kHz, tested under 100 klx ambient light and on objects with 10% reflectivity.

• Ranging Accuracy: ±10 mm

• Repeatability: <5 mm (1σ)

• Number of Returns: Up to 16 returns at 350 kHz

• Laser Classification: Class 1 (eye-safe)

Enhanced beam precision — 0.25 mrad divergence — results in smaller spot sizes and greater point density, enabling superior detail in vegetation penetration and complex terrain mapping.

RGB Imaging and Dual Camera System

The integrated dual RGB mapping cameras provide a combined 107° field of view and up to 100 MP photo resolution, allowing users to capture rich visual context alongside LiDAR data.
Each camera features a 4/3 CMOS sensor, 28 mm equivalent lens, and adjustable aperture range from f/2.0 to f/11, ensuring excellent image quality under varying light conditions.

High-Accuracy IMU and POS Integration

The Zenmuse L3 incorporates a high-precision IMU synchronized with the drone’s RTK positioning system. This integration provides:

• Yaw Accuracy: 0.02° (post-processed)

• Pitch/Roll Accuracy: 0.01° (post-processed)

• Positioning Accuracy: 1 cm horizontal, 1.5 cm vertical (RTK Fix)

This level of precision ensures exceptionally accurate georeferencing of point clouds, even in challenging environments.
