Major Characteristics of the New ScanStations that will make a difference to your productivity
• Usable, ‘fit for purpose’ 3D data due to:
• Highly accurate vertical angle, horizontal angle, and distance measurements
• True, real-time, survey-grade tilt compensation
• Protected optics for use in the rain / dust
• Blazingly fast at 1 million points per second
• High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery
• Ruggedness allows use under extreme conditions including extreme heat and bitter cold

We’ve improved our ScanStations in two key areas:
1. Scanning &
2. Digital Imaging• The results show big benefits in:
• Overall project efficiency
• Scan detail
• Confidence in the data
1414
The Technology Improvements in These Key Areas Translates to Fewer Setups & Greater Productivity

HDR Images from Built-in Camera
Multiple exposures are taken of the same scene
Images are then automatically combined to color the point cloud

Indoor HDR image from internal camera
1717
Outdoor HDR image from internal camera
1818
Enhanced True Color mapping reduces office time as the user can better visualize what was scanned
1919
IMPORTANT ! The camera’s resolution is so high that it allows an operator to quickly identify and scan targets using the real-time video display out to a range of 75 meters (246 feet) and sometimes farther!
Real-time streaming video display

The importance of range to targets in HDS When doing multiple scans outdoors and targets are
required (like on a roadway) the ability of a scanner to identify and efficiently capture targets at long-range has a huge impact on the cost of using a scanner

Impact of laser beam width (a.k.a. “spot size”) on scanner’s ability to capture real scene geometry
Small beam width
Large beam width
2323

Data problems that can occur due to “fat” laser beams or laser beam “ricochet”
• Extraneous, false or “ghost” points
• Scan points showing up in the wrong place
• Points spraying from a surface out into space
• Scan data may look fuzzy
• Other vendors sometimes apply “smoothing” algorithms to data so that scan points don’t necessarily reflect true surface geometry

The Solution: Mixed Pixel Filtration (MPF)
• Upon import into Cyclone most of extraneous scan points are automatically removed
• Scan noise is now so small that slices through scans now often look like fine architectural drawings
• The benefit to you is that you save valuable time in the office on the cleaning step, meaning that the scan data is much easier to trace over. This makes it more accurate and quicker to complete the deliverable to your customer.

Crisper and cleaner data means a lot less office work and greater productivity

ScanStation P16 / P30 / P40Key features & Benefits
Feature BenefitData Quality Certainty that the 3D point cloud represents the 3D geometry of
measured objects in the best possible and most reliable way – trust that the model is an accurate representation of reality
Speed Shorter acquisition time = more stations per hour = money saved
HDR Imagery Adds valuable information to the 3D point cloud data and makes interpretation and visualisation of results more efficient
Ruggedness Allows use of Leica scanners even under extreme environmental conditions (temperature, dust) and therefore extends the scope of possible utilisation and ensures greater productivity.

Which ScanStation solves your problem?
P40For customers ‘who want it all’ and value maximum flexibility, dual range modes, full survey capabilities, and the cleanest data. Long-range measurement.
P30
Offers the additional benefit of flexible scanner operations with multiple workflows over P16, and for customers that value, longer range, cleanest data, and basic survey functionality. Versatility.
P16
Tailored for ease of use, single button operation, and a lower point of entry into laser scanning for customers that are not concerned with complex survey functionality and don’t have the need for longer range. Value.

• First previewed at last year’s Hexagon Conference
• A combined project data vault and high-performance data streaming server
• Takes Cyclone data and serves it up in a high-performance format
• Targeted to users that do a fair amount of data processing where office efficiency is especially important

Makes working with point clouds in Cloudworx products more productive in two ways
1. Eliminates the aggravating “waiting” part of working with clouds
Load and open any size scan data set virtually instantaneously
No more waiting for regeneration after panning, zooming, rotating, orbiting, and moving
On Cloudworx projects JetStream’s “no more waiting” benefit alone will reduce office time by 20-40%
Jetstream technology to be implemented in other Cyclone modules moving forward
4141
Makes working with point clouds in Cloudworx products more productive in two ways:
1. Jetstream dramatically improves office productivity through
• Improved scan project management
• Data files will be an order of magnitude smaller than customers are currently used to
4242
• View scans on any smart phone or tablet, using any internet browser
• No TruView app required for mobile devices and no plug-in needed for viewing on PC’s
• No longer are you constrained to being able to see TruViews in just Internet Explorer and only on a PC
• Greatly increases access to our ultra-user-friendly TruViews for viewing scans
4343
The powerful combination of…
• Fewer setups in the field
• Faster scanning
• HDR imaging
• Cleaner, crisper low noise data in the office
• A powerful suite of point cloud processing software
…translates into greater productivity and more money in your pocket.
