NavVis has announced the launch of NavVis VLX 2nd generation, a new iteration of the flagship mobile mapping system optimized for scanning both indoor and outdoor environments. NavVis is a...

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is not a specific software application, or even one single algorithm. SLAM is a broad term for a technological process, developed in the 1980s, that enabled robots to navigate autonomously through new environments without a map.

A new algorithm has been developed that automatically identifies architectural elements and creates 3D models of building interiors. Over the last decade, the demand for digital twins has increased in...

An inertial navigation system (INS) is a critical part of a surveyor’s armoury. The measurements provided by the INS, including heading, pitch/roll, timing and absolute position, ensure that surveyors can confidently measure their environment, safe in the knowledge that every area and angle is covered precisely.

The measurements provided by the INS, including heading, pitch/roll, timing and absolute position, ensure that surveyors can...

Intelligent Inertial Navigation Systems for Survey and Mapping Applications Whether the mode of collection is land-based, aerial, or marine, our robust GNSS-aided inertial navigation systems provide accurate georeferencing data around...

NavVis has launched the NavVis IVION Core reality capture platform designed to manage 3D scans with intuitive tools for creation, collaboration and publication. The solution was previously known as NavVis...

A new INS from Oxford Technical Solutions aims to break new ground in bringing high-quality navigation data to the Lidar surveying industry. Launched on 22 March 2021, the xNAV650 promises...

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has announced a reality capture solution combining Boston Dynamics’ agile mobile robot Spot with the Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner. By programming the devices to...

Crew-B – a trio of young entrepreneurs – recently discovered the best tool to scan multiple sites in a single day. Their client, a European leader in the fitness market,...

NavVis VLX goes head-to-head against terrestrial laser scanning. See how this wearable mapping device is over 10 times faster than a TLS for data capture at survey-grade accuracy.
