What is the difference between the RTC360 & RTC360 LT?

In 2018, we announced the ground-breaking 3D Reality Capture solution – combining the portable and highly-automatedLeica RTC3603D laser scanner,Leica Cyclone Field 360移动设备应用程序和Leica Cyclone寄存器360post-processing office software. Since the announcement, the RTC360 laser scanner has been a tremendous success and has revolutionised customer workflows, increasing productivity with ultra-fast speed-scanning and in-field point cloud visualisation.

在2019年Intergeo上，我们扩展了3D Reality Captubob综合app赌博re解决方案，并引入了Leica RTC360 LT，这是RTC360的更轻版本。

What is the difference between the RTC360 and the RTC360 LT?
在比较RTC360激光扫描仪时，它们看起来非常相似，但是有两个关键区别– one difference is visible to the eye and the other is not visible when looking at the product exterior:

•差异1：查看RTC360 LT的外壳时，您会发现它没有视觉惯性系统（VIS）功能。这意味着RTC360 LT没有RTC360住房中可见的五个VIS摄像机。

• Difference No. 2: The second difference is not visible from comparing the scanners side by side, yet it is noticeable when in the field as the registration process is a little longer than the RTC360 – it’s the scanning speed. The RTC360 has a scanning speed of 2 million pts/sec and the RTC360 LT has a scanning speed of 1 million pts/sec. This is half the speed of the RTC360, and yet the captured scan data is not compromised.

视觉惯性系统（VIS） - 真正独特的系统
VIS is a truly unique system and patented technology. The five VIS cameras on the RTC360 are combined with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and when merged together and processed with intelligent algorithms, it computes the relative position and orientation of the scanner in real-time as it is moved between different setups. This simplifies the entire registration process as the setups are easily pre-registered directly in the field for instant visualisation in the Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 mobile-device app running on a tablet computer or smartphone, and user interaction during the registration process in the office to tighten the data is minimal.

What does it mean if the RTC360 LT doesn’t have VIS?
当将RTC360与VIS启用一起使用时，这意味着整体注册过程被简化和自动化，从而大大减少了现场和办公室的时间。这是因为VIS可以自动定位每个扫描相对于先前的位置，并且每次扫描立即位于旋风场360应用中的正确几何位置中。因此，当不可用时，注册过程的总体时间需要更长的时间，因为每次扫描都与先前的方向无关。现场的对齐和注册过程没有像RTC360那样完全自动化。当您使用RTC360 LT在Cyclone Field 360中进行手动对齐和预注册时，您会看到您选择的两次扫描并能够正确定位它们，优化它们并创建链接。

The right choice
When the time comes to choose and invest in a 3D laser scanner, there are many factors that should be considered based on business needs. For example, if you work in a medium to large company that specialises in laser scanning consultancy spanning various industries with many applications, the need for high-speed and automation on site is essential. Projects are continuous and can be very demanding, so the need for reliable equipment that enables your team to be as productive as possible in the field and office is vital. Therefore, the RTC360 is the perfect laser scanner to invest in as it combines speed, portability and automation allowing your team to scan, visualise, complete and deliver on every project that comes their way.

For small scale companies that rarely have the need for laser scanning or for companies that identify the possible need for 3D visualisation in occasional projects, but aren’t so familiar with laser scanning technology, the RTC360 LT would be the recommended investment. If the business doesn’t need to scan an environment on a daily or weekly basis, and projects are not as demanding or frequent, then an entry-level laser scanner is certainly the best option to consider.
