Topcon Releases Spatial Factory Software for Managing IP-S2 3D Mobile Mapping Data

  • Rating12345

The simple interface of this software allows users of the IP-S2 3D mobile mapping system to easily work with the combination of point cloud, trajectory and panoramic image data that comes from the IP-S2. The IP-S2 system incorporates state-of-the-art technologies, including high-precision GNSS receivers, IMU (inertial measurement unit), vehicle wheel encoders, 360-degree digital camera and laser scanners. The system is designed so users can collect precise vehicle position/bearing data and capture spherical imagery of roadside objects such as sidewalks, buildings, tunnels, bridges and overpasses, while driving the system-mounted vehicle at normal traffic speeds. IP-S2 data can be viewed in Spatial Factory on a background map, in 3D or in a panoramic view of images overlaying point cloud data. Control point registration can be achieved to increase the accuracy of collected data over long distances. The software is designed so distances between features can easily be measured and features and attributes can be extracted and exported into shapefile or ASCII formats in various coordinate systems.
