I work with BLK360/2Go/RTC data on a daily basis. Same with NavVis M6/VLX.badam wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 9:55 pmlet see what they can offer, in terms of performance increasing in reg360 especially hdr imaging. Because that is pretty slow currently. i don't know if it can be faster then any handhelds. vis links are just prealignment. You will still need to work/clean everything as much as you can.jsteinert wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 8:01 pm I think comparing this to a handheld is very applicable, considering the speed in field. We have battled indoor positioning without control in our handhelds, and I feel this new instrument can work great with only C2C alignment AND compete with handheld scanning time. Also, processing time would be quicker than handhelds.
And don't forget with a tls device you can get pretty big file sizes which can give you headaches, if you don't prepare for it...
it won't be like a handheld. one setup with dense+ and hdr will be 600-800 mb. if you create 100 scan/day (this should be easy with this speed)... in 20 workday it is 1.5TB of data => 15TB a year. And this is only just raw data, there will be a same amount of register360 files, and exported e57.
But i'd rather buy this then a 2go without any second thoughts. Especially when the 2go cost 2-2.5 times more. But if you plan to pay more in the range of 60-70 grand then buy an rtc instead. way better quality and you can still scan in low res and that will be higher resolution then the dense scan with this. 12mm@10m hdr imagery is 1:31, without image it is 31 sec.
We process and house 99% of data internally, so I have a pretty good frame of reference on data size and processing time.
We have been improving MLS scan data with measured control indoors by referencing column grids as our control. That has introduced imbalances of field scan tech's ability. I would be glad to not need to rely on measured control to remove drift/warp common in MLS.
So, MLS from NavVis has been a great use case with a few of our large clients(with some ongoing big hurdles and challenges) but at the speeds of BLK360 G2 coupled with the client expectations of pano locations I am pretty sure the scan time differences will be minimal.
2Go is a different use case and our utilization with it is thru the roof this year.
