DJI Zenmuse L2

Compact and powerful LiDAR imaging system.

High Precision

The Zenmuse L2 has an advanced IMU and supports a vertical accuracy of 4 cm, and a horizontal accuracy of 5 cm in ideal conditions.

High Efficiency

Paired with the M350, the Zenmuse L2 can cover up to 2.5 km squared in ideal conditions.

Exceptional Penetration

The Zenmuse L2 is ready for a variety of landscapes. With advanced LiDAR, the L2 can handle dense forests.

Long Detection Range

The Zenmuse L2 supports up to 250m @10% reflectivity, 100klx or 450m @50% reflectivity, 0klx. See more with the Zenmuse L2.

High Level Precision

Through the combination of GNSS and a high-accuracy self-developed IMU, this solution delivers 4cm vertical accuracy and 5cm horizontal accuracy.

Exceptional Efficiency

The L2 is ready for work as soon as it’s powered on and can collect both geospatial and RGB data from a 2.5km squared area in as little as a single flight

Exceptionally Easy to Use

In conjunction with Matrice 350 RTK and DJI Terra, L2 offers a turnkey solution that is simple to use, lowering the operational threshold.

Frame Based LiDAR

Discover the power of DJI's state-of-the-art LiDAR system. L2 can detect from 250 meters at 10% reflectivity and 100 klx, and up to 450 meters at 50% reflectivity and 0 klx.The typical operational altitude now extends up to 120 meters, notably enhancing operational safety and efficiency.

Smaller Laser Spots, Denser Point Clouds

With a reduced spot size of 4×12 cm @100m, only a fifth of that of L1, L2 not only detects smaller objects with more details, but can also penetrate denser vegetation, generating more accurate digital elevation models (DEM).

Two Scanning Modes

L2 supports two scanning modes, offering flexibility for users based on their task demands. In repetitive scanning mode, L2's LiDAR can achieve more uniform and accurate point clouds while meeting high-precision mapping requirements. In non-repetitive scanning mode, it offers deeper penetration for more structural information, making it suitable for power line inspection, forestry surveying, and other scenarios.

Effective Point Cloud Rate: 240,000 pts/s

In both single and multiple return modes, L2 can reach a max point cloud emission rate of 240,000 points per second, allowing the acquisition of more point cloud data in a given time frame.

Supports 5 Returns

In densely vegetated areas, L2 can capture more ground points beneath the foliage.

High-Accuracy IMU System

The high-accuracy self-developed IMU system, combined with the drone’s RTK positioning system for data fusion during post-processing, gives L2 access to highly accurate absolute position, speed, and attitude information. In addition, the IMU system’s enhanced environmental adaptability improves the operational reliability andprecision of L2.

No IMU Warm-up

The performance of the IMU system has been greatly improved, and it is operational upon powering on. Additionally, the accompanying drone can start tasks promptly when the RTK achieves FIX status, ensuring an efficient in-field experience.

RGB Camera

Pixel size has been enlarged to 3.3 μm, and effective pixels now reach 20 MP, resulting in a significant improvement in overall imaging, as well as more enriched true-color point cloud details. The minimum photo interval has been reduced to 0.7 seconds. The mapping camera has a shutter count of up to 200,000 times, further reducing operational costs. When point cloud collection is not needed, the RGB camera can still take photos and videos, or collect images for visiblelight mapping.

Enhanced Operational Experience

Zenmuse L2's intelligent recognition algorithm supports identification, tracking, and junction analysis for transmission and distribution lines, enabling semi-automatic flight and data collection.

Versatile use Cases

The Zenmuse L2 can be used for a variety of applications such as land surveying and mapping, electricity management, forestry management and Infrastructure management.

250m @10% reflectivity, 100 klx

Typical data. Measured using a flat subject with a size larger than the laser beam diameter, perpendicular angle of incidence, and an atmospheric visibility of 23 km. In low-light environments, the laser beams can achieve the optimal detection range. If a laser beam hits more than one subject, the total laser transmitter power is split, and the achievable range is reduced. The maximum detection range is 500 m.

System Accuracy

Horizontal: 5 cm @ 150 m
Vertical: 4 cm @ 150 m

Measured under the following conditions in a DJI laboratory environment: Zenmuse L2 mounted on a Matrice 350 RTK and powered up. Using DJI Pilot 2’s Area Route to plan the flight route (with Calibrate IMU enabled). Using repetitive scanning with the RTK in the FIX status. The relative altitude was set to 150 m, flight speed to 15 m/s, gimbal pitch to -90°, and each straight segment of the flight route was less than 1500 m. The field contained objects with obvious angular features, and used exposed hard ground check points that conformed to the diffuse reflection model. DJI Terra was used for post-processing with Optimize Point Cloud Accuracy enabled. Under the same conditions with Optimize Point Cloud Accuracy not enabled, the vertical accuracy is 4 cm and the horizontal accuracy is 8 cm.

1. Measured under the following conditions in a DJI laboratory environment: Zenmuse L2 mounted on a Matrice 350 RTK and powered on. Using DJI Pilot 2’s Area Route to plan the flight route (with Calibrate IMU enabled). Using repetitive scanning with the RTK in FIX status. The relative altitude was set to 150 m, flight speed to 15 m/s, gimbal pitch to -90°, and each straight segment of the flight route was less than 1500 m. The field contained objects with obvious angular features, and used exposed hard ground checkpoints that conformed to the diffuse reflection model. DJI Terra was used for post-processing with Optimize Point Cloud Accuracy enabled. Under the same conditions with Optimize Point Cloud Accuracy not enabled, the vertical accuracy is 4 cm and the horizontal accuracy is 8 cm.

2. Measured with Zenmuse L2 mounted on Matrice 350 RTK with a flight speed of 15 m/s, flight altitude of 150 m, side overlap rate of 20%, Calibrate IMU enabled, Elevation Optimization turned off, and terrain follow turned off.

3. The data presented are typical values. Measured using a flat subject with a size larger than the laser beam diameter, a perpendicular angle of incidence, and an atmospheric visibility of 23 km. In low-light environments, the laser beams can achieve the optimal detection range. If a laser beam hits more than one subject, the total laser transmitter power is split and the achievable range is reduced. The maximum detection range is 500 m.

4. After power is turned on, the IMU doesn't require warm-up; however, users must wait for the drone RTK to be in the FIX status before it can fly and work.
