Watch this webinar to learn all about the new features of Connect 2.2, as well as a first look at GeoSLAM data in online data viewers for easy sharing and collaboration.
Key takeaways:
How precise and accurate are the 3D models you can make with the Elios 3?
Watch this webinar to learn the results from recent testing we did with our partners, Flyability, to assess the accuracy and precision of 3D models made using LiDAR data collected by the Elios 3 and processed on GeoSLAM Connect.
In the webinar we went over the results of the testing and explain how to use GeoSLAM Connect to make survey-grade 3D models with the Elios 3.
In this Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors article, Dr Neil Slatcher talks all things SLAM, answering questions such as ‘What’s the difference between SLAM and traditional laser scanning?’ and ‘What kind of SLAM types are there?’.

With ever-increasing research and development in the technology, the advances in both scanning hardware and processing software are improving the detail, scale and use of point cloud data. One of these improvements is colourisation. Adding colour has plenty of benefits when viewing and analysing point cloud data.
GeoSLAM partners with drone inspection specialists Flyability for the launch of their new drone, Elios 3.
Having recently introduced our new ZEB Vision panoramic camera, we are now launching the latest update to our software platform, Connect 2.1. Learn more about the ZEB Vision and Connect 2.1.
Surveying buildings is difficult and accessing hard to reach areas, like dropped ceiling or raised floors, without disrupting business can be seemingly impossible. In this blog we’ll discuss how SLAM and LiDAR technology has made scanning behind dropped ceilings a simple process.
Control points are points within a given area that have known coordinates. They are a key tool in the geospatial industry and can be utilised in a variety of ways, including georeferencing point clouds and aligning aerial images to terrestrial data. By using control points, surveyors are able to accurately map larger areas and position overlapping surveys of an area together. They can also be used in non-geospatial industries, such as construction and mining, to show clear temporal comparisons between multiple surveys of the same area. This method of georeferencing is also referred to as adjust to control.
Previously, checkerboards and spherical targets have been used as control markers – these items are captured in surveys and can be identified for georeferencing or aligning. The main drawback with these methods is that they rely heavily on human interpretation when processing, meaning that the processed datasets may be susceptible to an increased amount of error.
When capturing handheld surveys, GeoSLAM systems are able to collect reference points. These can then be matched with known control points to reference scans and increase the level of accuracy.
Easily reference point clouds and produce reports highlighting accuracy values.
Regularly monitor site operations (e.g. stockpiles) and hazards.
Compare changes over time and map progress onto predetermined CAD/BIM models.
Once georeferenced using control points, point clouds can be optimised further using leading third party software:
