Conventional LiDAR scanners repeat the same scan line on every rotation, which means thin or isolated targets — overhead power lines, individual branches, narrow structural members — can fall between scan lines and be missed entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Livox Avia's non-repetitive pattern continuously varies the beam direction within its field of view, increasing the probability of detecting fine or complex targets with each additional second of dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 450 m, it also operates well above the altitudes where most medium-class payloads begin to lose effective density, making it practical for corridor inspections, forest surveys, and terrain mapping across large areas where flight altitude directly affects coverage efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFreefly Flux LiDAR Payload Comparison\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .comparison-table {\n    width: 100%;\n    border-collapse: collapse;\n    font-size: 14px;\n  }\n  .comparison-table th,\n  .comparison-table td {\n    border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\n    padding: 10px 12px;\n    vertical-align: top;\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n  .comparison-table thead th {\n    background-color: #f7f7f7;\n    font-weight: 600;\n  }\n  .comparison-table tbody tr:nth-child(even) {\n    background-color: #fafafa;\n  }\n  @media (max-width: 768px) {\n    .comparison-table th,\n    .comparison-table td {\n      font-size: 13px;\n      padding: 8px;\n    }\n  }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"comparison-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCategory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlux O1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlux L1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlux H1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScanner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuster OS1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLivox Avia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHesai XT-32MX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoints \/ sec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5,242,880\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e720,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,920,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~200 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField of view\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360° × 42.4°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70° × 77°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360° × 40.3°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±1 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrecision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaser returns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e633 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e715 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e715 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScan pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepetitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-repetitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepetitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNDAA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRGB camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXimea 20MP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXimea 20MP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXimea 20MP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility and System Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreefly Astro: native Smart Dovetail integration;
