DJI Zenmuse L2 LiDAR Sensor
The DJI Zenmuse L2 sets a new benchmark in aerial LiDAR technology, delivering centimetre-level accuracy
and superior efficiency for 3D data capture. Designed with an integrated LiDAR module,
RGB mapping camera, and high-precision IMU system, the L2 is built for professionals in
surveying, construction, forestry, and environmental mapping.
Capable of capturing over 240,000 points per second at ranges up to
450 metres, the Zenmuse L2 produces detailed, high-fidelity point clouds even in low-light or dense
vegetation. Integration with DJI Terra ensures seamless data validation and fast post-processing —
reducing time from capture to deliverables.
Whether mapping infrastructure or creating digital twins, the Zenmuse L2 provides
survey-grade precision and reliability — fully compatible with DJI’s
Matrice 400 and Matrice 350 / 300 RTK platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions — DJI Zenmuse L2
What is the Zenmuse L2 and what’s included?
L2 is a drone LiDAR payload integrating a frame-based LiDAR, a high-accuracy IMU, and a 4/3″ 20 MP RGB mapping camera on a 3-axis gimbal.
What point rate and returns does L2 support?
Single return up to 240k pts/s; multiple returns up to 1.2M pts/s, with up to 5 returns per pulse (setup-dependent).
What system accuracy can I expect?
Typical stated accuracy is around 4 cm vertical and 5 cm horizontal at ~150 m AGL and ~15 m/s with proper workflow and RTK/PPK.
What’s the detection range and beam/spot size?
Detection up to ~450 m (conditions/reflectivity dependent). Laser spot is approx. 4 × 12 cm @ 100 m (smaller than L1, aiding detail).
How big an area can L2 cover per flight?
Under typical conditions (≈150 m AGL, ≈15 m/s), a single mission can cover up to ~2.5 km², depending on overlap, terrain and reflectivity.
What are the RGB camera specs?
4/3″ CMOS, 20 MP, 24 mm equiv., f/2.8–f/11, mechanical shutter (2–1/2000 s) with min. photo interval ~0.7 s.
Does the RGB camera work without LiDAR enabled?
Yes. You can capture photos/video for visible-light mapping or true-colour point clouds as needed.
What IMU performance does L2 offer?
Self-developed high-accuracy IMU with fast start-up. Typical yaw accuracy ~0.2° real-time (~0.05° post), pitch/roll ~0.05° real-time (~0.025° post).
Which aircraft are compatible?
Matrice 400, Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 300 RTK (with DJI RC Plus). Check current compatibility before purchase.
What lighting/reflectivity conditions can it handle?
L2 supports multi-return scanning to improve vegetation penetration and performance across varying reflectivity/ambient light, aiding ground point capture.
Can I achieve survey-grade results without GCPs?
With proper RTK/PPK setup and workflow, L2 can meet tight tolerances; however, independent check points are recommended to verify accuracy against your standard.
What software should I use for processing?
DJI Terra supports L2 point-cloud workflows (pre/post-processing, colourisation). Third-party suites (e.g., LP360) are also commonly used in professional pipelines.
How fast should I fly and at what altitude?
Typical reference conditions are ~150 m AGL at ~15 m/s. Adjust altitude/speed/overlap to your accuracy, density and terrain requirements.
Is there warm-up time before scanning?
L2’s IMU is designed for rapid readiness so you can begin collecting data soon after start-up (follow your QA routine regardless).
What practical advantages vs. the older L1?
Smaller spot size, higher multi-return rate, improved penetration/precision, larger pixel pitch on RGB, faster photo interval, and expanded throughput.
Any UK workflow or compliance tips?
Use RTK/PPK, adopt a QA plan with checkpoints, and follow survey standards (e.g., RICS). Maintain aviation compliance (CAA) appropriate to your operations.
L2 vs L1 & UK Survey & Deliverables Notes
What are the key performance upgrades of L2 over L1?
• L2 supports 5 returns per pulse versus L1’s 3 returns — improving vegetation penetration and ground detail.
• The laser spot size is smaller (approximately 4 × 12 cm at 100 m), offering finer structural capture.
• L2 can operate at higher altitudes and speeds (≈ 15 m/s) with maintained precision.
• Its IMU requires no pre-warmup, allowing faster deployment on site.
• Field tests show reduced vertical error and denser, cleaner point clouds compared with L1.
• In practice, users experience over three times higher ground point density and improved consistency in thin-object detection.
What improvements in mapping workflow does the L2 bring?
• Faster flight speed and higher altitude mean greater area coverage per mission.
• Enhanced multi-return capability improves ground detection under canopy for reliable DTM generation.
• Smaller beam and higher return count reduce noise and improve capture of small details like wires or railings.
• Immediate operational readiness — no waiting for IMU warm-up — minimises downtime.
• Improved data quality can reduce reliance on dense GCP networks, though independent verification remains best practice.
What UK / survey deliverable and compliance considerations should I keep in mind?
• Align deliverables with UK survey standards such as RICS or PAS 128 where applicable.
• For utility mapping, ensure the correct PAS 128 survey category (A–D) is defined in your scope.
• Include check points or independent control to verify positional accuracy.
• Typical deliverables include classified point clouds, digital terrain models, contour lines, CAD exports (DWG/DXF), and orthophotos.
• Record workflow details — processing software, filters, and coordinate systems — to ensure transparency and repeatability.
• Follow CAA operational requirements for commercial flights and maintain data security and privacy compliance.
• For sites with dense vegetation, increase overlap and adjust flight parameters to maintain return density and ground capture.
