NavVis MLX

This is a text from google search on answering the question - The NavVis VLX scanner exhibited robust performance, with an absolute accuracy of 6 mm at the 68% confidence level and 15 mm at the 95% confidence level in controlled environments.

Lidar is a laser technology that captures the surfaces of an object or a space in three dimensions. The word “lidar” is an acronym for LIght Detection And Ranging.

The roots of this technology reach back to 1938, when pulses of light were first used to measure the height of clouds (seriously). But don’t let that fool you: Lidar is crucial to a variety of cutting-edge industries, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, space exploration, survey, architecture, engineering, construction, and more.

There may even be a lidar sensor right next to the camera in your iPhone, or directing your robotic vacuum so it doesn’t fall down the stairs.

NavVis VLX is an industry-leading wearable laser scanning system that allows you to capture data while moving through the environment. With state-of-the-art lidar scanning abilities and unparalleled SLAM technology, NavVis VLX is the fastest way to the most reliable spatial data. NavVis VLX consists of two multi-layer LiDAR sensors and four cameras. It can capture an immersive 360-degree panoramic view of the site and between 1,000 – 4,500 sqm of survey-grade data in a single dataset – 10 times faster than a terrestrial laser scanner.

Driven by the power of SLAM technology, with groundbreaking software at its core, the NavVis VLX product family consists of NavVis VLX 2 and NavVis VLX 3 wearable laser scanning and mobile mapping systems.

NavVis IVION is the ultimate platform for your spatial data. NavVis IVION transforms point clouds of buildings and assets into web-based intelligent spaces for every stakeholder. The result is a digital twin for smart collaboration and decision-making, closing the gap between the physical and digital worlds.

Intuitively designed and powered by the cloud, NavVis IVION Processing allows you to quickly process point clouds and panoramic images, reducing the time and effort required to generate reliable and compliant reality capture data.

With NavVis IVION Core, you can manage your point clouds with intuitive tools for creation, collaboration, and publication.

Together, NavVis IVION Processing and NavVis IVION Core make mobile mapping workflows more efficient, speed up model creation and delivery, and add value to your data.

NavVis laser scanners, powered by unparalleled SLAM technology, allow for capturing data up to 10 times faster than traditional terrestrial laser scanners, significantly enhancing the efficiency of hybrid workflows. Specifically, NavVis VLX boasts a global accuracy of 5 mm in a 500 sqm test environment, providing survey-grade point cloud quality on a large scale. This technology not only saves over 1.5 hours in scanning time for areas of 500 sqm but also increases competitiveness by enabling the provision of more services at a faster rate and a lower cost. Overall, NavVis technology is designed to reduce work time by up to 82% and cut project costs by up to 50%, streamlining operations considerably.

The NavVis workflow is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing surveying equipment, whether a total station, GNSS rover, terrestrial laser scanner, or an unmanned aerial vehicle. You can continue your standard operations with enhanced capabilities when using NavVis VLX alongside your devices. Objects that move through the scan with NavVis VLX are automatically detected and removed during post-processing. The workflow also involves geo-registering and automatically aligning scan data from NavVis devices and other data sources with survey-grade accuracy. The NavVis IVION platform further enhances the utility and accessibility of this data by transforming point clouds and panoramic images into intelligent spaces, including functionalities like crop and download for use with third-party software.
