Optech Releases the New Mobile Mapper

Image

Toronto, September 14, 2007 - Optech Incorporated is proud to announce the launch of the Mobile Mapper. Over three years in development, the Mobile Mapper represents the next generation of lidar technology. The lidar is bundled into a mobilemapping solution with the accuracy, robustness and support that Optech users have come to expect.

“Optech is proud to add the Mobile Mapper system to our growing family of lidar products,” said Optech President Don Carswell. “While establishing a new state of the art for mobile mapping technology, Optech’s Mobile Mapper also possesses a feature set and support plan that will be familiar to our current ALTM operators and ILRIS-3D users.”

The Mobile Mapper boasts a revolutionary new lidar sensor head that leverages Optech’s 33 years of development experience and the latest in lidar innovation – iFLEX - to collect survey-grade lidar data at over 100,000 measurements per second with a 360º FOV, while maintaining a Class 1 eye safety rating.

The mobile mapping solution, while accommodating up to four lidar sensor heads, fuses the lidar data with an on-board passive imaging system, the Trimble/Applanix POS LV system and a tried and tested operational software platform to produce survey grade 3D data from a mobile vehicular platform.

Production of the new system is under way and orders are being accepted immediately

Here's two small modelling project I did using Optech Lynx data. Modelling was done in Pointools 4 Rhino and in both cases took around a day.

Also the 'Italian Streetscape' images are based on Lynx data. The data looks pretty good to me given its captured between 8-30 or 40mph, good enough for this level of modelling. Intelligent scanner orientation also means that occlusions are minimised, in most cases coverage is remarkably good.

Note the use of our planar shader in some of the images, this was critical in making good sense of the scan data.

Hi Faraz,
How are things developing with the 'planar shader'?
