Collecting Data On The Move
The ability to collect data while on the move enables huge savings of time and personnel when surveying large areas or conducting regular updates of as-built information. Only one equipment setup is required and the survey is then conducted dynamically from the comfort and safety of your vehicle or vessel. All data is processed in real time, with a single, geo-referenced dataset being output from each survey, ready for cleaning and analysis.

The Dynascan 'plug & play' LIDAR system contains a seamlessly integrated INS, RTK GPS system and high-speed laser scanner. The system is lightweight, highly portable and may be mounted on vehicles or vessels to acquire survey-quality 3D data.

By fully integrating the sensors in one package, MDL has eliminated the need for in-field sensor calibrations and offset measurements. This helps to minimise systematic errors and reduces system mobilisation time to minutes. The Dynascan is available as a single-headed unit and an X Plane (dual-headed) variant in both 150 and 500 metre ranges. The INS and RTK sensors are changeable, depending on the users' requirements.

A Dynascan system comes complete with advanced, customised data-acquisition and post-processing software. On-line displays allow detailed analysis and QC of the data during the survey. Recorded data may be exported to most 3D modelling and processing software packages.
We also offer a range of service, maintenance and rental options – please contact us for further details.
