Technologies
Tripod-mounted scanners capture high-density point clouds from fixed setups that are registered together.
Mobile scanners that estimate their own trajectory with LiDAR SLAM while walking through a site.
Vehicle-mounted LiDAR with GNSS/INS for corridors, roads and rail.
Drone-mounted LiDAR with GNSS/INS for terrain, vegetation and large outdoor sites.
Software reconstructing 3D models and orthophotos from overlapping images.
Short-range depth cameras and structured-light scanners combining depth with colour.
2D/3D LiDAR sensors integrated into robots for navigation, SLAM and mapping.
