Specification
Rapid Surveyor′s multi-directional design provides a 360° field-of-view so maximising data coverage within a 100m radius from the vehicle.
Owing to the position of the sensors - at an angle to the vehicle′s motion and inclined off vertical - the lasers cross each other′s field-of-view. Therefore, when driving forward an object is imaged twice by the sensors but not at the same time, thereby minimising shadows and occlusions.
Also the sensor orientation maximizes the height to which building façade areas are captured. In addition the front of objects can be captured when passing underneath, for example, a bridge or road sign.
