MAPPING & SCANNING
The power of “a picture paints a thousand words” holds true as aerial photography can enhance the visualisation of any project.

This technology offers many benefits to designers, project engineers and project managers who see value in having all the existing built environment captured, and available to them in a format they can use to measure critical elements with confidence.
Cross Solutions has had experience with mapping and scanning using various technologies for well over 15 years.
This wealth of knowledge we have to draw is what makes our offerings so unique. We have tried and tested various scanning platforms and now have some of the best systems we believe available on the market.

- +/- 0.2mm at 10m ranging error. (Metrology Grade)
- Up to 1.1 million points per second.
- Integrated 80 MPixels HDR colour images.
- Distance to object range 0.3m to 250m
- Full bundle adjustment, of registration of scans.
- Integrated spotlights for night operation
- Option to add thermal overlay to scans.
If you are unfamiliar with this technology or would just like to know more, give us a call.

MAPPING & SCANNING WITH A DIFFERENCE
Our range of highest quality 3d Laser Scanners gives our clients unprecedented flexibility and choice. Our Z+F 3D Laser Scanner is concise, precise and extremely efficient at very accurate engineering design works whilst or Maptek drive system when mounted on one of our mine spec vehicles can deliver the continuous acquisition of spatial data of stockpiles, roadways, bulk earthworks and road slope stability analysis and monitoring.
All whilst in the safety inside a vehicle which minimises safety risk to employees and the public.

The output generally for mapping and scanning is digital spatially referenced point cloud data set which can be tired to a known coordinate system such as Map Grid Australia and the Australian Height Datum. The data can then we used in a varied number of CAD software packages to satisfy the clients requirements.
