3D Mapping Digital Twin
Use Case Description
Generation of point cloud data by using 3D-LiDAR, and used for various use cases:
- Work progress management at construction site
- Management and maintenance of infrastructure, facility, and other assets (e.g. municipality, utility, railway, public road)
- Layout and utilization simulation at factory
- Disaster countermeasure simulation for city
- Forest survey
- and more
Overview
Previous methods to generate digital twins (e.g. using 3D laser scanner, modeling in 3D) were expensive and take huge time. Kudan SLAM enables to generate high-accurate colorized point clouds much more easily, and be able to adopt to various data collection methods such as handheld, backpack, vehicle-mount and drone.
There are various functions to support map creation and management such as Loop Closure, GCP (Ground Control Point), GNSS integration, Map Merge, Map Update, and difference detection between maps created at different timing.
The benefits of Kudan software
- More accurate 3D reconstruction and maps
- Faster time-to-market to develop your own mobile mapping device
- Lower required sensor cost and flexibility of Lidar choice
- Higher productivity thanks to real-time processing capability
Customer Reference Case (Selected)
- Digital asset platform/solution for municipality and utility infrastructure (Europe)
- Railway infrastructure management and maintenance (Japan)
- Point cloud generation of drone which can be used from both on land and in the air (US, Inertial Lab) (Japan, TerraDrone)
