Fast laser surveying is possible with the new tool from Leica Geosystems

The BLK2GO handheld imaging laser scanner is said to be the first-of-its-kind mobile scanner that can scan complex spaces efficiently and quickly due to its LiDAR, SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) and edge computing technologies.

The laser scanner can capture 3D environments while the user is in motion, and generate 3D point clouds continuously. Compact in design, the unit allows access to spaces that may have been difficult or impossible to scan before.

Combining two-axis LiDAR with visual SLAM technologies, the BLK2GO will accurately follow a user’s trajectory while scanning. When used with the iOS app, users can get live feedback, check the device status, or do quick data inspection.

    Users of Leica Cyclone, a 3D point cloud processing software, can now automatically import and align high-dynamic range (HDR) data from NCTech’s iSTAR camera database. The result is enhanced images delivered faster and easier, according to both companies. “It is also the accuracy to which these images fit the 3D point cloud data that is paramount. NCTech’s iSTAR camera produces high-quality HDR imaging at the accuracy everyone expects,” said Faheem Khan, vice president, business development for Leica Geosys
