Maximizing ROI and time efficiency
Use cases
Construction
& Infrastructure
Accurate, repeatable data for progress tracking, as-built documentation, and site monitoring.
Corridor Mapping
Optimized for roads, railways, power lines, and pipelines — delivering consistent coverage along linear assets.
Complex Terrain
& Limited Access
Reliable performance in challenging environments where base station access is scarce or complex and access is restricted.
Public Sector
& Security-Sensitive Projects
NDAA compliance and local data processing make Venturer suitable for government-approved missions.
The YellowScan Venturer was built to meet these needs.
Optionnal Add-ons
Burst Mode:
Maximize Point Density
In burst mode, all 300,000 laser shots per second are concentrated within a 120° field of view to maximize point density.
within a
Advanced calibration
All our systems are calibrated before shipment and come with a calibration certificate. Be ready to fly your system as soon as you receive it!
Training
YellowScan delivers complete training to new customers. The training is provided over 2 days and can take place at your premises or online.
Technical support
Our 1 year unlimited technical support from our experts enables you to confidently undertake your projects, whether you are new or experienced in the field.
Fully NDAA Compliant
Designed and manufactured in France, the YellowScan Venturer is fully NDAA compliant and processes data locally through CloudStation, giving operators complete control over their sensitive data while meeting strict security and compliance requirements.
UAV Compatibility
Weighing 2.45 kg, the Venturer uses YellowScan’s Quick Release Adapters for fast, tool-free integration across a wide range of UAVs. This ensures reliable power and data while reducing integration costs, avoiding platform lock-in, and maximizing long-term ROI.
Survey-Grade Performance
Powered by the RIEGL Mini-VUX 3 UAV scanner and Trimble Applanix APX-RTX IMU, the Venturer delivers reliable positioning in poor GNSS conditions. Real-Time RTX corrections increase confidence in flight and reduce repeat missions. Advanced post-processing with POSPac Complete further improves robustness and accuracy.
Instant Readiness: Fly with confidence
As soon as the Venturer is powered on, system readiness is instantly visible on the high-brightness Yellow Touch display, readable from wide angles. Clear, intuitive information replaces confusing LED signals, enabling confident go/no-go decisions in seconds in the field.
Clean Data, Less Post-Processing
The Venturer is optimized for typical survey flight patterns, while still preserving full 360° scanning when needed. This makes it highly effective for capturing vertical structures such as façades, walls, and complex infrastructure, delivering clean, usable data without trade-offs between coverage, quality, and efficiency.
Dual Global Shutter Cameras: No Motion Blur
The Venturer integrates two global shutter cameras with a 125° field of view, closely aligned with typical survey operations. Unlike rolling shutter sensors, global shutter technology eliminates motion blur, ensuring sharp, reliable imagery regardless of flight speed or platform dynamics.
