Feb 16, 2015 -- Routescene are excited to announce that we will be showcasing our new 3D LiDAR mapping solution for the first time in the USA. We will be based at booth 65 at the ILMF event in Denver, Colorado, from the 23rd to the 25th of February 2015.
The Routescene LidarPod®, a complete self-contained turnkey solution which is new to the market, is simple to operate and quickly to deploy.
It is a flexible system which has been developed specifically for use on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) but can also be fitted onto any mobile platform required such as car, boat, etc. This flexibility, particularly its' use on drones, is attractive for many sectors and situations where accurate mapping is essential but difficult to achieve. It will enable surveys to take place in areas which previously would not have been considered.
Our new disruptive technology offers a non-intrusive method to obtain detailed and precise geo-referenced 3D datasets. It can be used for 3D mapping; powerline inspection; scoping, planning and management of mines; forestry design, management and operation; large scale topographic surveys plus city planning and management.
To increase its' appeal further, the Routescene LidarPod costs significantly less than a vehicle based mobile mapping system. The rate of return is much higher with a payback period calculated at around 100 days and there are certainly more benefits and advantages compared to traditional survey methods.
The turnkey solution includes LidarViewer, specially developed software to turn the raw data into valuable business information. It will enable users to convert, analyse and filter huge volumes of point cloud data to improve productivity and workflow. Powerful filters enable users to extract relevant data for use in third party software, such as GIS and CAD packages, which are unable to cope with such large data volumes.

More about The Routescene UAV LidarPod®

Data density, resolution, relative and positional accuracy |
It combines the best technology on the market to capture survey grade positional accuracy together with a very high point cloud density. Will collect 700,000 points per second, which at an altitude of 40m and flying speed of 30km/hr equates to 300 points per square metre. This offers a fantastic richness in the dataset which greatly enhances the detail that can be collected. |
|
Low weight |
Total weight is less than 2.5kg for the complete system. This low weight will enable a 20 minute flight, allowing coverage of 1 square km on a single set of batteries. |
|
Quality and level of resilience |
Self contained turnkey LiDAR system. This means everything a user needs is built into the system including the GPS / INS, radio telemetry, data storage and power management. No external components are necessary which eliminates the possibility of integration issues and loose connectors. |
|
Processing your data |
LidarViewer, specially developed software, enables the user to easily import, visualise, apply filters to the large volume of data collected in a smart way, enabling the use of GIS and CAD packages thereafter. |

International LiDAR Mapping Forum ILMF is the only platform-neutral event focused exclusively on LiDAR systems and technologies. IMLF is a technical conference & exhibition focused on data acquisition, fusion, processing & point clouds for airborne, terrestrial LiDAR used to support transport, urban modelling, utility asset management and more. |
LiDAR Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) is an imaging technology. It is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser, which is scanned from side to side over the survey area, measuring thousands of points per second to build an accurate, high resolution model of the ground and the features upon it. |

Velodyne Inc The Routescene LidarPod® includes a Velodyne sensor, a 3D mobile LiDAR scanner for unsurpassed image resolution. The Velodyne HDL-32E LiDAR sensor is small, lightweight, ruggedly built and features 32 lasers across a 40° vertical field of view. The HDL-32E was designed to exceed the demands of the most challenging real-world autonomous navigation, 3D mobile mapping and other LiDAR applications. The HDL-32E's innovative laser array enables navigation and mapping systems to observe more of their environment than any other LiDAR sensor. |
