Topcon IP-S3 arieal mapping & mass data collectors

Topcon IP-S3

The IP-S3 mobile mapping solution offers high density, high precision, point clouds combined with high resolution panoramas from a system that is smaller, lighter and easier to handle. IP-S3’s positioning technology is an integration of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), GNSS receiver (GPS and GLONASS) and a vehicle odometer.

The rotating LiDAR sensor captures the environment with a rate of 700,000 pulses per second. During each rotation, the 32 internal lasers cover the full 360 degrees around the system, each from a slightly different viewing angle. This minimizes gaps in the point cloud which arise from obstacles or dead-angles and removes the need to install multiple scanners.

IP-S3’s six-lens digital camera system provides 360 degree high resolution spherical images that allow for easy feature recognition.

Mobile Master Offices software handles all post processing trajectories and geo-referencing scans and images.

Features & Benefits:

  • Integrated turn-key solution
  • Ultra compact design
  • Multiple lasers minimize scanning shades
  • Unparalleled ease of use
  • Factory calibrated
  • Full integration of cloud and images

There is no need to conduct a field calibration which makes a very complex system of different technologies simple to use, all-together integrated and very productive. 

All-in-one Mobile Master Office software includes all processing, advanced matching / ground control functions, accuracy reporting and export into various projections and geoids. With all processing steps included, workflows with the IP-S3 are significantly reduced. 

Applications include:

  • Mapping of Infrastructure and Assets
  • Pipeline, Railways, Utility Corridors, Waterway
  • Urban Planning
  • Land-Use Planning
  • Environmental Preservation
  • Home Security
  • Accident / Criminal Investigation
  • Risk Management
  • Road Condition Analysis
  • Pre-construction, Construction Progress Monitoring
  • A verity of information services for citizens and travelers.
