High Speed, Single Scanner Mobile Mapping System
The VMQ-1HA’s single-scanner design features an innovative swivel plate, giving users exceptional flexibility to scan at multiple angles within a single project. This capability significantly reduces scan shadows with only the cost of drive time. The system’s ability to adjust scanner angles and integrate camera systems ensures comprehensive coverage and high-quality imagery for end clients.
Users seeking higher data density and faster acquisition speeds will find the VMQ-1HA’s performance and price point especially compelling. Ideal applications include highway mapping, urban environments, asset and utility collection. Scan shadows from a single pass can be effectively minimized by repositioning the scanner and conducting a second drive-through.
