1 VS1000 Introduction
VS1000 3D Laser Scanner based on pulses ranging principle, could quick acquire massive point cloud data from the
complex geometry of the scene, can be used in engineering surveying , urban building surveying , topographic mapping ,
mining, deformation monitoring , factory / large structures / pipeline design , aircraft and ships manufacturing, road and rail
construction , tunneling, bridge reconstruction , water conservancy, airport and port engineering and other fields .
Through an external full- frame camera Canon 5D Mark II, which can get the point cloud and image data from the
measured object in each surveying. VS1000 Field-of-View up to 360°x 100°, angle control precision 5 ", the effective
measuring distance 600m, Data acquisition speed of up to 36,000 points / sec, point accuracy ±1.2mm @ 50m, distance
measurement accuracy ±50mm, 7- inch touch screen control , reserved data communication and memory interface .
Also has WiFi hotspot functionality , could be remotely controlled via tablet PC , PDA or smart phone , could be
operated easily in outdoors. The work organization, data storage checking and files output will be convenient, it’s suitable
for variety of field data collection. It’s the ideal tool for field topography measurement data acquisition, with excellent value
for money, suitable for batch using for each corporation.
For the convenience of customers using, We provide point cloud processing software Cloud Processor, which
developed based on the Windows platform, supporting large data management, intelligent editing, multi-station stitching
and color matching, 3D modeling, DSM, DTM, DEM, special effects production. It provide a comprehensive solution for
fast 3D scene reconstruction, roaming, virtual reality and visual simulation.
