Our mobile 3D scanning solutions

By integrating mobile 3D scanning solutions into our survey protocol, we expedite the capturing process of your buildings while upholding utmost precision and accuracy.

Fast 3D scanning solutions

Next-gen scanning solutions

We use the solutions of our partner NavVis, the reference for new generation mobile 3D survey solutions (IMMS, or Indoor Mobile Mapping System).
These solutions make it possible to digitize an environment while moving, thus offering a survey capacity ranging from up to 12,000 m² per day.

The reading is therefore more swift, without neglecting precision, that's why we integrate these scanning solutions into our multi-technology survey protocol .

A quick capture

Compared to traditional survey solutions, mobile scanners offer greater survey capacity and therefore reduction in intervention time on-site.

In addition to this, the disruption caused by the scan of a building under construction, industrial or in operation is also reduced, and the production time of project deliverables is also catalyzed.

The deployment of virtual visits, a “simplified BIM” approach

In addition to 3D data, our mobile scanning solutions make it possible to generate HD panoramic photos of the scanned environment.

The assembly of these photos, systematically captured during our survey operations, allows us to offer a virtual visit, usable by all building actors on our web platform.

The democratization of the digital twin of buildings

Thanks to the speed of capture and the wealth of data captured, it is now possible to digitize a simple project or an entire asset at an unprecedented speed.

Putting digital technology in control of all actors in a building has never been easier.

FAQ

What are the differences between static and mobile scanners?

The main difference is the capture methodology.
Static scanners work on a tripod and capture data station by station (a station being a point where the scanner is positioned and launched). On the other hand, mobile scanners offer the advantage of capturing the environment while in motion, facilitated by an operator, thus resulting in enhanced speed.
Static scanners generally capture a denser point cloud, which is necessary for some projects.
To find out more about the various 3D scanning solutions, we invite you to read our article on this subject.

How does a mobile scanner work?

Just like the static scanners, mobile scanners incorporate LiDAR sensors to capture point clouds.
At the same time, and in order to capture the environment while being moved, mobile scanners incorporate two elements:

  • A simultaneous mapping location system (SLAM) to locate yourself in space
  • An inertial unit (IMU) to integrate the movements and movements of the scanner to estimate its orientation and linear speed.

What is a point cloud?

Raw 3D data acquired by 3D scanners, the point cloud of a building is a real envelope of it. To find out more, we invite you to consult our article dedicated to the acquisition and use of 3D point clouds.

How to define the right 3D scanning solutions for a project?

Each scanning solution has its own specificities. The project specifications, the surface area, the expected deliverables and the specificities of the building are the factors allowing choosing the right 3D scanning solutions.
This choice of equipment is one of key stages of a 3D scanning project, which we detail in this article.
