3D Laser Mapping launches aerial mapping system

November 28, 2017 Read time: 1 min

Geospatial technology company 3D Laser Mapping has introduced, Robin + Wings airborne LiDAR, an extension of the Robin mobile mapping unit. It can be used with both single pole and nose helicopter mounts and can be deployed in a range of sectors including transportation infrastructure, environmental monitoring and mapping.

According to the company, Robin +Wings works for ground and airborne applications, with the +Wings add-on extending this flexibility to rotary and fixed wing aircrafts and gyrocopters.

Graham Hunter, 3D Laser Mapping managing director said the airborne survey can generate detailed maps and is particularly effective in hard-to-reach areas or difficult terrain without exposing workers to hazards like falling rocks or unstable ground.

A few weeks ago, I watched a driver reverse a car from a parking bay at right angles to the road, straight into a car driving along the road. The accident happened at walking pace, no-one was hurt and both cars had body panels that regain their shape after a low speed shunt.

  • Predicting the future for video camera systems

    Jo Versavel, Managing Director of Traficon, talks about near-term trends in video camera systems. Jo Versavel starts by making one thing clear: long-term forecasts as to what the future holds for video-based traffic monitoring are to all intents and purposes meaningless. The state of the art is developing so fast that in reality it's impossible to say where we'll be in 10 years' time, says the Managing Director of Traficon. In his opinion making firm predictions even five years out is too ambitious, whereas
