X70^GO
SLAM Laser Scanner

Hybrid Scanning

On this page:

X70GO is a real-time 3D model reconstruction device which integrates inertial navigation module, high performance computer and storage system. It is equipped with a 360° rotating head, which, combined with the SLAM algorithm, generates high-precision point cloud data.

A 12 MP visible-light camera provides texture information, while a visual camera guarantees stronger real time preview with GOapp. Mapping results are generated immediately inside the scanner, right after scanning: choose if you want to color them and improve their accuracy, postprocessing with GOpost software.

BUNDLED SOFTWARE

GOapp

GOapp is Stonex SLAM’s dedicated mobile application to manage projects, real time point cloud display, image preview, firmware upgrade and other operations. The APP runs on Android and iOS operating systems.

GOpost

Windows post processing software which performs optimization processing, colouring of point clouds and creation of panoramic images. You can also import control points to georeference the point cloud.

X-WHIZZ MODE

X70^GO merges mobile and stationary surveying. To the advantageous SLAM solution that allows you to survey large areas in a very short time, it combines a stationary mode to scan with higher resolution. Mount X70^GO on a monopod and stand still in key areas for a few seconds. It is the perfect trade-off for those who need speed and detail in a mobile survey.

RAPIDITY AND REDUCED WORKLOAD

No more multiple scan station, just move around the scene to collect the entire 3D point cloud, without time-consuming cloud to cloud alignment.

REAL TIME RESULTS

The built-in visual camera makes the real time SLAM algorithm more stable, especially in weak structural textures environments. The data are ready to be used as soon as the survey is completed.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL POINT MEASUREMENT

When capturing data, X70GO is able to collect reference points too. They can be matched with known control points to georeference the scans.

INTEGRATED CAMERAS

A 12 MP visible-light camera provides texture information, while a visual camera guarantees stronger real time preview with GOapp

HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTATION

The system can directly output the mapping results after the acquisition is completed. You can choose to post-process the data, in case you desire to improve its accuracy.

ACCESSORIES

There are several reasons why the RTK module is worth using. First, it places your point cloud in a global coordinate system, but it can also be useful in large surveys to improve the composition of the final 3D model. Indeed, RTK module can help the system, adding GNSS info to LIDAR and IMU. If the GPS does not have a satellite connection, such as indoors, the system will rely on LIDAR and IMU to locate itself.

Hold the X70GO on the monopod for a stationary survey in key areas with the X-Whizz mode.
The quick-lock swivel makes the pole quick and easy to extend to different heights.

Enhance your SLAM survey by adding important properties such as the 360° panoramic photography.

A solution to mount X70G on your back and to combine it with the RTK module. Extended surveys will become a simple walk.

You can use your tablet docket to the device to have one to have one hand free while surveying. The tablet mounted on the back of the scanner allows you to always have eyes-on scan real time preview.

FAQ

Is it mandatory to use GOapp?

No, it is not mandatory. You can choose to collect data using the Android App, in case you need to see the real time preview point cloud. Otherwise, the power button of the device can work as scanning start and stop.

Can I use it in dark environments?

Yes, darkness affects neither the geometric data nor the intensity of the point cloud.

Only the color information will not be usable, having taken dark photographs.

Which distance can I cover with the scanner?

The range shown on the brochure represents the maximum distance achieved by the lidar.

However, you have to keep in mind that in order for the SLAM algorithm to be able to process the cloud optimization, you must have geometric elements within the 50-meter range. Therefore, it is not recommended to work in environments that are too open, with no buildings or objects around.

What is the benefit of using RTK module?

Certainly, the first benefit of using RTK is to have the 3D model georeferenced, without the need to collect GCPs. In open environments, it can also help the SLAM algorithm in improving the final restitution.

Do I need to close the scan path?

In general, it is not mandatory: the heterogeneity of the environment may be sufficient. On the contrary, if you are in a difficult situation for SLAM, closing the loop means adding a constraint that helps the system.

What advantages does the panoramic camera give?

Stonex SLAM scanners are all equipped with point cloud colouring cameras, but if you prefer to have spherical images that you can navigate through to see more detail or take measurements more easily, the panoramic camera is the solution
