Scan-to-BIM

From Field Scan to Building Information Model

POPULAR

Transform existing conditions into accurate Building Information Models with our integrated scanning and positioning workflow. Capture as-built conditions with centimetre precision and deliver BIM-ready deliverables directly from the field.

01

Capture

Deploy MVP S1 handheld or MVP 400 airborne scanners with integrated RTK positioning. Walk or fly through the site while the system captures LiDAR and imagery with automatic georeferencing.

02

Process

MVP Mapper software processes point clouds with trajectory adjustment, colourisation, and classification. Export to E57, LAS, or PLY formats with full coordinate system support.

03

Model

Import point clouds directly into Revit, Archicad, or Bentley applications. Use our classified point clouds for automated feature extraction and BIM element creation.

Key Capabilities

  • 2cm point cloud accuracy with RTK-registered scans
  • Classified output: ground, vegetation, buildings, utilities
  • Direct Revit/Archicad import workflows
  • LOD 200-300 compatible deliverables
  • Multi-operator project merging for large sites
  • Cloud Studio sync for team collaboration

3D Scene Reconstruction

Real-Time Photorealistic Environments

NEW

Create photorealistic 3D environments in real-time using capturRTK technology. Fuses visual SLAM with RTK positioning to generate georeferenced meshes and textures for digital twin applications.

01

Scan

Capture with handheld or vehicle-mounted systems. visionRTK provides continuous positioning even during brief GNSS outages from overpasses or dense canopy.

02

Reconstruct

On-device mesh generation creates photorealistic 3D models with 2cm absolute accuracy. Real-time view shows coverage and quality as you work.

03

Deploy

Export to Unreal Engine, Unity, or web-based viewers. Models are georeferenced and ready for AR/VR applications or GIS integration.

Key Capabilities

  • Photorealistic texture mapping from onboard cameras
  • 2cm absolute accuracy via RTK constraints
  • Real-time mesh generation on device
  • Export to OBJ, FBX, glTF, and 3D Tiles
  • Automatic hole-filling and mesh optimisation
  • Compatible with game engines and CAD platforms

Underground Mine Survey

GNSS-Denied Environment Mapping

Comprehensive survey solutions for underground mining operations where satellite signals are unavailable. Vision-aided inertial navigation maintains accuracy deep underground.

01

Surface Reference

Establish surface control points with Oscar Trek RTK. These become the datum for underground coordinate systems via shaft transfer or traverse connection.

02

Underground Capture

Deploy MVP S1 with visionRTK in drift-corrected mode. Visual features in the mine workings provide positioning updates, maintaining accuracy without GNSS.

03

Integration

Merge surface and underground scans into unified coordinate systems. Deliver drift tunnel volumes, convergence monitoring, and as-built drift surveys.

Key Capabilities

  • Visual-inertial positioning without GNSS signals
  • Drift-corrected trajectories using loop closures
  • Integration with mine control systems (Leica, Trimble)
  • Convergence monitoring for ground control
  • Ventilation and infrastructure mapping
  • Shaft transfer accuracy validation

Hazardous Area Survey

At-Ex Certified Remote Operations

Survey dangerous or inaccessible environments from a safe distance. Remote-operated platforms with integrated positioning capture data where human entry is restricted.

01

Plan

Define exclusion zones and scan objectives. Pre-plan flight paths for aerial platforms or autonomous routes for ground robots using Cloud Studio.

02

Deploy

Launch remote platforms from safe standoff distances. The Duck USV for flooded areas, UAVs for height work, or crawlers for confined spaces with real-time positioning.

03

Extract

Process deliverables remotely. Generate point clouds, orthophotos, and inspection reports without personnel entering the hazard zone.

Key Capabilities

  • Remote operation beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)
  • Real-time telemetry and position monitoring
  • Gas-resistant and IP68-rated hardware options
  • Emergency response survey capabilities
  • Integration with disaster management protocols
  • Post-incident change detection and documentation
