Stonex X120Go SLAM LiDAR

SLAM stands for Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping. The X120GO is a LiDAR-based SLAM system that uses a laser sensor to generate a 3D map of its environment. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) measures the distance to an object (for example, a wall or pole) by a pulse from its laser scanner. It uses an advanced onboard processor to keep track of its location whilst the scanner moves through the area.

An operator using the X120GO can quickly build up a 3D model of a complex area in minutes from turning on.  The field acquisition takes as long as it would take to walk in and around the project area. It makes an ideal tool for mapping a cave for Archaeology or a tunnel in underground mining. Other applications might be to quickly survey an accident scene or for an As Built survey at a construction site. The 3D data can be used to quickly calculate volumes at a busy mine site or to create a contour map of an area.

STONEX SLAM technology delivers more range and more points per second than its competitors. It’s best in class on board processing algorithms reach unmatched speed of capture and reliability even in demanding environments. No more multiple scan stations, just move around the scene to collect the entire 3D point cloud, without time-consuming cloud to cloud alignment.  See in real time your scanning progress using the included Android App from Stonex. When you are happy that all areas have been covered, simply download the data on to your computer to post process.

Reference points (targets) can be placed prior to scanning the project area. Control points can also be collected whilst capturing data for the point cloud. The processing software can then use these points to georeference the point cloud for the final output.
