As an alternate means of terrain and digital image acquisition used to capture detailed, accurate 3D geometry, laser scanning technology captures more detail and is faster than traditional surveying methods. This technology has a 360 degree horizontal field view that captures digital images and dense point clouds. With its rapid acquisition method, prompt turnaround time, and higher accuracy rate, Sanborn delivers better data faster with the ground-based laser system. The instrument captures 3D point-clouds of natural features or man-made structures for core markets and applications.
Traditional methods of data acquisition, i.e., manual cataloging of assets, closing roadways to assess pavement condition, are more costly than mobile mapping when considering the cost of labor and processing data. Sanborn uses ground-based LiDAR for high-definition, high-accuracy mapping of any surface achieving 3cm to 5cm vertical accuracy with post intervals between 2” and 3” that can be used for transportation design, topographic mapping and asset management.
