Performing mobile laser scanning

Mobile laser scanning:

The TOPODRONE laser scanner is designed to perform mobile laser scanning (MLS). This process requires a minimum number of permits to conduct field work. You will not need to obtain a flight permit, avoid airspace restrictions, and minimize the risk of equipment damage in the event of a drone drop.

Mobile laser scanning can be done in two ways: using the TOPODRONE backpack or the TOPODRONE mobile car mount. The TOPODRONE backpack allows you to place the TOPODRONE laser scanner together with the external GNSS antenna and power supply on the operator. For more accurate results when using the TOPODRONE backpack it is recommended to use a vehicle such as an ATV, electric scooter or gyro scooter.

When scanning with the TOPODRONE backpack, the operator should walk with a steady gait, minimizing vertical and lateral oscillations. The main objective is to maintain a constant speed and minimize vibrations.
