Mobile Laser Scanning

Mobile laser scanning (MLS) describes terrestrial data acquisition from moving platforms (e.g. boats, trains, road and off-road vehicles) also known as kinematic laser scanning.

RIEGL laser scanners are ideally suited for mobile mapping applications. In order to register scan data acquired from moving platforms, such as boats, trains, road and off-road vehicles, the laser scanner is supplemented by position and attitude sensors, for example GPS (Global Positioning System) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit).

All RIEGL scanners are rugged and fully portable instruments, tested under strict conditions for a reliable performance even under highly demanding environmental conditions.

To enhance the capability of RIEGL's software suite, RIEGL's Deep Learning Suite of artificial intelligence methods is now available to support users with special tools in processing of terrestrial and kinematic data. You will find a first overview here.
