New Leica CityMapper captures oblique imaging, LiDAR in one flyover

Leica Geosystems, industry leader of reality capture and measurement technology, announced today Leica CityMapper as part of the RealCity 3D reality capture solution, enabling professionals to collect and process imaging and LiDAR data in a single sensor.

Combining CityMapper and Leica HxMap, the scalable post-processing workflow software, RealCity simplifies and streamlines the creation of all 2D and 3D information layers.

Most comprehensive base layer
As our world continues to grow in complexity so has the required geospatial base data to manage this increased complexity.  This merging of sensors and software enables professionals to generate the most comprehensive geospatial base layer in just one flight. Professionals are able to efficiently produce all the conventional 2D and 3D information layers, from orthophotos and oblique images to point clouds, 3D meshes, and 3D models.

“CityMapper captures imagery and LiDAR data, enabling users to produce rich information,” said Anders Ekelund, vice-president for airborne LiDAR at Leica Geosystems. “Users can now save significant time and cost by flying once to collect twice the data as before.”
