Geodetics is also introducing the innovative Point&Pixel™ capability to its Geo-MMS product offerings, advancing its strategy to provide industry professionals with cost-effective, streamlined solutions to produce 3D georeferenced point clouds. Point&Pixel enables accurate colorization of the LiDAR point cloud using synchronously captured RGB images from a camera during the same flight as the LiDAR scanning collection. The industry-leading Geodetics approach allows users to create colorized point clouds and photomosaic quickly without requiring multiple overflights of an area or different scan patterns. Point&Pixel is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2018.
Additionally, Geodetics is introducing its new Geo-Photomap™ product for applications such as vertical mapping and corridor mapping. Geo-Photomap enables accurate automated 3D mapping using direct-georeferenced images (geo-tagged images) – images associated with a geographic location. With Geo-Photomap, high-accuracy positioning and external orientation angles are generated, eliminating the need for ground control points and reducing image overlap to as low as 30 percent resulting in significant cost savings.
“Our team of scientists and engineers enables Geodetics to be much more than a system integrator. We design and build the technologies in our LiDAR mapping systems and are poised to move the state-of-the-art in LiDAR mobile mapping for geological research and much more to the next level,” said Dr. Bock.
