Overview
The Livox Avia LiDAR (Model: AVIA) is a compact, lightweight LiDAR sensor designed for capturing point cloud data in scenarios such as mapping and low-speed autonomous driving. It features a wide FOV over 70°, triple-echo capability, dual scanning modes (non-repetitive and repetitive), a built-in IMU (BMI088), and Ethernet data output with time synchronization support.
Key Features

1. Measured in an environment of 25℃ with a target (80% reflectivity) 20 meters away. The result may vary under different test conditions. 2. The false alarms ratio of the noise created by the stray light in a test environment of 0 to 100 klx at a temperature of 25℃. 3. The Livox Avia has an overall IP rating of IP67 (not including Livox Converter 2.0 and cables). 4. Starting power, especially at low temperature, might be significantly larger than the typical power. Please refer to user manuals for detailed information. 5. Make sure the output voltage of the power supply is within this range at all times. |

Details

The Livox Avia LiDAR Sensor combines a compact form factor with wide-angle point cloud capture for mapping and autonomous platforms.

Key specs at a glance include a wide field of view, triple-echo returns, up to 450 m detection range (conditions apply), and an IP67-rated enclosure.

Long-range point cloud capture helps retain detail on distant structures in low-light or controlled lighting conditions.

Switch between non-repetitive scanning for broader coverage and repetitive scanning when consistent line patterns are preferred.

Repetitive line scanning supports precision-focused surveying tasks where consistent point distribution is important.

Designed for easy integration, Avia supports common conversion cables and circular M12 connectors for space-constrained installs.

Power line surveying benefits from long-range performance and precise returns on thin, high-contrast targets.

Triple-return data can improve canopy and terrain representation in forestry mapping and natural-environment surveys.

For mobile mapping, the built-in IMU helps support stable data collection when the sensor is mounted on moving vehicles.

Wide-FOV capture supports dense urban modeling for smart city applications such as infrastructure mapping and perception.
