A New Development in Laser Scanning Technology

Hans-Herbert Tuexsenintroduces us to the Leica RTC360 3D Reality Capture Solution

Fast, efficient, accurate and portable, theLeica RTC360is a complete and new laser scanning system. This latest development in 3D laser scanning combines a high-performance laser scanner withCyclone FIELD 360, a mobile-device app on a tablet computer, to capture and automatically pre-register scans in real time.

Hans-Herbert Tuexsen、业务director of Terrestrial Laser Scanning, outlines some of the exciting features of theRTC360designed to achieve maximum productivity in both field and office.

Construction professionals managing complex site projects need accurate and reliable 3D representations. With 2 million points per second captured and High-Dynamic Range (HDR) photography, theRTC360combines speed with high quality imagery. Operated from a tablet, a simple tap on the arrow icon starts the scan and collects the data with a full panorama image taking just 60 seconds to complete.

从技术上讲，这是RTC360is not only about speed and precision. It also uses the Visual Inertial System (VIS Technology), making the process of registering scans from different positions easy and simple to use.

Visual Inertial System
VIS technology tracks the position and movement of the scanner from station to station, automatically coordinating the scanner relative to the previous set up.

在平板电脑上查看的进展显示了在正确位置进入的新数据。只需60秒后稍后添加图像并在完成时，扫描仪计算减少的数据集以进行无线传输到平板电脑。
可以在办公室稍后使用的附加信息，例如录音，视频，图像，文本或文档或文本，每个扫描都可以标记为每次扫描，并在点云中准确定位。

Once the scanner has completed the first set up, move to the next and again select start on the tablet. VIS technology takes care of the rest.


查看和编辑在平板电脑上
虽然扫描继续，平板电脑上有其他功能。
  • Switch to a 360-image mode and, if required, edit the brightness of the high quality panoramic HDR images
  • Change to a full 3D view of reduced point cloud to zoom and rotate the data
  • 查看和检查以前设置的兴趣对象，并在办公室添加有用的附加信息

聪明稳定
当扫描仪从一个设置为另一个设置时，系统技术将始终确切地知道它的位置。有两种扫描完成点云可以链接和优化，以便它们精确定向，所有这些都准备好了下一个设置。

一旦完成，所有扫描数据和平板电脑上的附加信息都存储在扫描仪的可移动USB棒上，从而快速轻松地将数据从现场转移到办公室。
