30-50mm accuracy ?
13 kg weight.
Price ?
Why should I buy this when I could buy a fast, accurate scanner with HDR imagery like a P-40 ?
Regards,
Mike

Mike,

why not? I know many environments I would be happy to have an carry able mobile mapping system. With the terrestrial scanners I used, I had endless stations to avoid holes on the resulting point cloud. With a mobile mapping system it would be faster on some cases. The holes behind the objects to beside the walking path were of minor interest. Therefore combining mobil mapping with terrestrial and near field scanning would be the way I dream of ;)

We've sold units around the globe already and the weaker relative accuracy of the scanners vs Pegasus:Two comes from using the Velodyne sensors instead. What's more important is the imaging info which allows for very fast extraction of the data in Leica MapFactory.

As I am learning there are lots of applications for this tech. Price is good for all the tech packed in there. I am excited for where this will take us and how it will impact the forward-thinking surveying companies in the Uk and beyond.

Bring on the 'wearable' section of LSF! 8-)

If you have the tech and it's scanning then we should have a section to discuss this :ugeek:

I believe that the Pegasus has a "static" mode which increases the accuracy ?

I think the photography is also concurrent whilst scanning. If this is true then the Pegasus solution could be way faster on site than using a P-40. Assuming the scan data is registered as you go and the only office time is applying survey control then the time savings could be very significant.

That alone would be sufficient reason to use it !

Many thanks for the info Mark.

In my application we've almost always got lots of petrochem "pipe trenches" or overhead "pipe racks" to scan for modelling. This tends to be an open ribbon of pipework that is fine to scan to +/- 5cm for our purposes so as long as we could establish fixed points (targets) every 50m (or so..) along the lines then walking up and down the lines of say, 200m, total length to include known targets at each end and a couple of places inbetween should, I assume, be way faster than making the 20 static scans in color that's currently required.

Watching this product develop with interest. Can anyone point me to (useful) information regarding MapFactory?

Richard

haha, what happened to "when it has to be right" does anyone do 5-50 cm jobs and gets paid for it? Im all for mobile but it should be much cheaper than a scanner.. I heard this is more $ than any of their scanners.

As with all new technology price and ergonomics will improve. This is going to be the next market segment to develop at pace. With street view going internal this is the next logical step.
