Ready for Anything<\/h4>\n

Scan complex and large structures with ease with the NavVis VLX mobile mapping system<\/p>\n

Featuring Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology, the VLX wearable scanner from NavVis enables fast, accurate and efficient reality capture in a wide range of environments. Ideal for creating digital twin or BIM models, the NavVis VLX is up to 10 times faster than a terrestrial 3D laser scanner.<\/p>\n

Survey-grade results<\/strong>
\nAdvanced SLAM algorithms to maintain accuracy and quality for point cloud data<\/p>\n

Preserves details<\/strong>
\nThe VLX features point cloud reconstruction to preserve details whilst reducing noise and shadowing, for efficient use in 2D drawing and 3D models<\/p>\n

Geo-reference your work<\/strong>
\nUsing ground and\/or wall targets, easily geo-reference your scanning projects<\/p>\n

Realistic texturing<\/strong>
\nSophisticated visualisation with realistic textures and colourisation<\/p>\n

Auto removal of dynamic objects<\/strong>
\nIf people or other moving objects interrupt your scan, they can be automatically removed during post processing to reduce manual work<\/p>\n

Robust SLAM<\/strong>
\nAccurate, dynamic scanning of the entire structure, including building facades and surroundings<\/p>\n

What is SLAM?<\/h4>\n

SLAM technology is an algorithm that determines your location and trajectory as you move through a defined area. It processes information from the LiDAR sensors, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and cameras to continuously calculate your position as you move.<\/p>\n

SLAM is crucial in mobile mapping because, unlike terrestrial laser scanners that operate in a fixed (and known) location, the data is captured dynamically as you move. The sensors are in motion as you move through the space, which without SLAM would cause alignment errors.<\/p>\n

NavVis SLAM technology has been comprehensively tried and tested in a range of challenging applications to deliver the most advanced and market-leading accuracy for mobile mapping. Contact the Aptella Scanning Team to learn more and discuss your project.<\/p>\n

Based in Munich, Germany, with offices in New York and Shanghai, NavVis has customers worldwide in the surveying, AEC, and manufacturing industries. For more information, visit www.navvis.com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
