Stonex X70Go SLAM LiDAR

The X70Go 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 X70Go 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 X70Go can be setup on a tripod, during a mobile scan, to take a more detailed and textured result of key areas around the site. It can also process the captured raw using its own processor to produce a 3D point cloud (LAS file) immediately after you have finished scanning. This saves a lot of time processing the data back in the office and the need for taking laptops and other equipment to the job site. 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.

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 geo-reference the point cloud in real world coordinates.
