Point Cloud Generation

• Because of the nature of the technology that the ZEB1 mobile laser scanner uses, that being SLAM – Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, the raw data captured needs to be processed on GeoSLAM’s intelligent point cloud generation servers.

• A point cloud data generation fee is then paid before the data download– Uses GeoSLAM Data Processing Credits

– 1 Credit = 2m3 of unique trajectory walked while scanning

– Multiple passes through same credit cube will only consume 1 credit

1 Credit Unit = 2m3

1 Credit Unit = €0.40

Ex. 198m scan = 99 credits = €39.60

Data Processing Calculation

10 000 credit bundle = $1,550That’s 20 000 m or 20 km of scanning

GeoSLAM Uploader App• Upload the RAW scanned data onto the processing server:

Typical Scanning Applications

Measured Building Surveys Real Estate Valuations Underground Mining Stockpile Measurement

Construction Site Inspection Forestry Analysis Contingency Planning Crime Scene Recording

Building Surveys

• Measured Building Survey– Gross Internal Floor Area = 370m2

– Two story building with 14 rooms double-height workshop

– Scan time with ZEB1 = 15 minutes

– Measurement points collected = 25,000,000

– Point Cloud size on disk = 43MB

– Data Processing Credits consumed = 30

– Cost to process and download = €12

Hypermarket Scanned with ZEB1

Benefits

• Dramatically enhanced collection economics

– 10x faster survey time onsite

– Lower staff costs + Low-cost processing

• Appropriately accurate data quality

– 0.1% average deviation

• Better Quality Survey Data

– Reduced risk of survey omissions

“ZEB1 is changing the way we survey buildings. We can now measure building plans 10-times faster than we used to with Total Station of traditional survey equipment.”

Underground Mining• Underground Mine Mapping – Below Image shows project of scanning an entire

Anglo American platinum mine’s declines and tunnelling.• Total length of scanning – 18 940m ; amount of scans 95

Clash detection

Precise Offsetting• Do a quick scan underground, and then do your offsetting measurements easily and

accurately above ground. Reducing the safety risks of surveyors time spent underground.

Roof bolts Support Inspection• Audit your hanging wall supporting roof bolts

Monthly Mining Advance Volumes• Accurately calculate your monthly mining volumes

Monitoring stockpiles• Accurately measure stockpiles to

calculate your monthly volume tonnages

Forestry Management• Scan and take stock of your forestry operations

Forestry Management (cont.)• Quickly determine the height of the biomass underneath the canopy, and detect

individual trees for management purposes
