Multi-platform mapping with Robin

3D Laser Mapping’s new multi-platform mapping system, Robin, provides three alternative mapping options in one solution, allowing users to benefit from the ability to map areas via walking, driving or flying. Robin integrates a 12 MP camera (for drive) and 18MP (for walk and fly), two GNSS antennas, GIS grade IMU navigation system, touch screen control unit, three mounting systems, capture software, a post-processing software package and has a field of view of 330 degrees.

3D Laser Mapping’s new multi-platform mapping system, Robin, provides three alternative mapping options in one solution, allowing users to benefit from the ability to map areas via walking, driving or flying.

Robin integrates a 12 MP camera (for drive) and 18MP (for walk and fly), two GNSS antennas, GIS grade IMU navigation system, touch screen control unit, three mounting systems, capture software, a post-processing software package and has a field of view of 330 degrees. Long-range and precision versions are also available.

According to Graham Hunter, executive chairman at 3D Laser Mapping, by covering a wide range of terrain, Robin allows high quality data capture from areas such as footpaths, forests and coastlines that are only accessible by foot.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi
