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. Long-range and precision versi

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.

    Daimler’s double take sees machine vision move in-vehicle
    Jason Barnes looks at Daimler’s Intelligent Drive programme to consider how machine vision has advanced the state of the art of vision-based in-vehicle systems. Traditionally, radar was the in-vehicle Driver Assistance System (DAS) technology of choice, particularly for applications such as adaptive cruise control and pre-crash warning generation. Although vision-based technology has made greater inroads more recently, it is not a case of ‘one sensor wins’. Radar and vision are complementary and redundancy
