Advanced forest measurement possible just by walking
mapry LA03 is a backpack-type LiDAR measurement system that can measure and analyze standing tree resource volume, topographical information, and forest-derived CO2 absorption/carbon accumulation simply by walking.
Since it is a backpack type, both hands are free, so the measurement can be performed by one person.
It takes about 30-40 minutes to walk and measure 1 hectare.
Easy analysis with dedicated software
You can use the included analysis software "mapry PC version" for free for the first year.
From the second year onwards, a usage fee is required (payable via bank transfer).
Please refer to the "Software License & Maintenance" section below for pricing details.
The following analyses can be performed:
- Importing point cloud data
- Extraction of DTM (Digital Terrain Model)
- Creating Contour Lines
- Creation of slope distribution map and slope amount map
- Detecting standing trees (measuring tree height and diameter)

The analyzed data can be used in a wide range of situations, such as confirming resource amounts when clear-cutting, thinning, or purchasing forestland, and investigating carbon credits.

Highly functional and affordable
LiDAR can detect in 360° directions up to 40m ahead.
The disadvantage of conventional LiDAR products for forests is that they are very expensive and difficult to purchase.
LA03 is very reasonably priced, making it easy for individual forest owners to use.
Comes with a special case
Comes with a highly durable, airtight dedicated case.
Protects the LiDAR from impacts, rain and wind.
