Mobile Precise Scanner MPS

The Mobile Precise Scanner MPS is our latest high-end scanning system for capturing environments in 3D. Designed for mobile outdoor use, this versatile tool can be easily deployed on various mobile mapping vehicles, both on the road and on rails. Featuring an extremely high scanning rate, the MPS achieves a unique profile density, even at high speeds. Its high resolution and a full 360° scanning angle enable seamless detection of the environment, even of narrow objects. The MPS is ideally suited for classic surveying tasks that require particularly high precision.

• Capturing urban environments, e.g., for the creation of urban digital twins
• Condition assessment of rail and road infrastructure, including tunnels
• Clearance profile measurements
• Environment mapping, e.g., vegetation capture

When installed on autonomous robotic platforms, the MPS can be used for indoor surveying, e.g. of buildings or sewers. It can also be mounted on small vehicles such as quads and used to survey bike lanes or small paths.

Time-of-flight method enables high precision in a compact design

The high-end Mobile Precision Scanner MPS operates according to the time-of-flight (ToF) principle and can measure with submillimeter accuracy, even over long distances. At the same time, ToF-based LiDAR systems can be designed to be very compact. Weighing approximately 4 kg, the MPS is easy to integrate even on small carrier platforms. The system can be expanded with additional LiDAR modules to achieve even higher point densities or to combine different wavelengths. These additional LiDAR modules are synchronized with the MPS.

Expandable and easy to integrate into existing systems

The MPS offers maximum flexibility. The system has all the necessary interfaces for integration into existing mobile mapping setups and can be expanded as required. It can easily be upgraded with up to two cameras, an IMU and GNSS.

Powerful processing unit

The MPS is equipped with a powerful processing unit to control the subcomponents. Data evaluation and storage take place directly within the processing unit. Live streaming of the data is also possible. Data evaluation includes processing the full echo sequence of each laser pulse, enabling the reliable detection of multiple echoes (Full waveform signal processing).
