Mobile 3D Mapping with GNSS RTK and SLAM
CHCNAV RS10 integrates GNSS RTK positioning, laser scanning and visual SLAM in a handheld survey system. It records the surrounding geometry while the operator moves, supporting point-cloud capture in buildings, outdoor spaces, industrial facilities and transitions between indoor and outdoor environments. A carefully planned route helps provide adequate coverage and overlap for subsequent processing.
The RS10 family includes 16-channel and 32-channel LiDAR versions. Their range, return modes and point output differ, so the configuration should be confirmed before specifying a survey. The 16-channel version provides up to 120 m range and 320,000 points per second in single-return mode. The 32-channel version extends the maximum range to 300 m and produces 640,000 points per second in single-return mode. Multiple returns can help describe surfaces and objects at different distances along the laser path.
Three 5 MP cameras support visual data capture and the positioning workflow. Where satellite reception is reduced, SLAM uses surrounding geometric and visual features. Repetitive surfaces, long corridors, moving objects and open areas should be considered when planning the route and control measurements.
Applications
RS10 data can support building surveys, facility inventories, as-built documentation, terrain detail mapping and volume analysis. Depending on the project, processing includes point-cloud cleaning, georeferencing, section extraction and preparation for modelling. Kordil can assess the target accuracy, site conditions and required delivery format to define an appropriate handheld LiDAR workflow.
