Rapid Mapping

By using airborne laser scanning technology, StreetMapper is able to capture data at normal driving speeds, meaning that entire urban environments can be mapped in a short amount of time. Combining the laser scan data with video and photographic imagery enables the 3D model to be created accurately with realistic texture mapping.
