Description

HERON LITE is a handheld 3D mapping system composed of a laser sensor for fast 3D mapping activities, gathering real-time 3D LiDAR data including distances and calibrated reflectivity measurements. Particularly appreciated in stockpile volumetric computation, underground mines and when RGB information is not required. HERON LITE is provided with complete on-premise software packages to manage the entire data processing workflow. The long-range sensor configuration is available.

INCLUDED ON-PREMISE SOFTWARE:

HERON Desktop: for no limits SLAM processing, with patented algorithms
Reconstructor: for 3D point cloud advanced post-processing
GoBlueprint: for x-ray maps visualization and measuring (free software)

SYSTEM USABILITY:

Easy georeferencing procedure
Control points and scans used as constraints
Loop closure not mandatory
Initialization procedure not required
Handheld or wearable design
Versatile capture head dockable also to a rugged backpack or vehicles (cars, bikes, quads, etc.)
Rugged touchscreen Control Unit providing:
Full system control
Annotations
Real-time view of the point cloud generation
