(Exact Metrology: Cincinnati) -- Exact Metrology Inc. has announced the addition of a Leica Geosystems ScanStation C10 laser scanner to its extensive lineup of portable metrology equipment. The ScanStation C10 is a  high-speed, high-accuracy, long-range scanner with full field of view ideal for high productivity topographic and mapping surveys.

“The Leica Geosystems ScanStation C10 gives us the ability to more rapidly and precisely scan larger range applications, including plant environments, roadways, natural formations, building exteriors, and larger man-made objects including aircraft, ships, and oil platforms” says Dean Solberg, principal of Exact Metrology Inc. “Depending on the application, the C10 can perform scans up to 10 times faster than previous technology, providing a cost benefit to our customers.”

The ScanStation C10 is a versatile scanner, with a long range (300 m at 90% reflectivity), full 360º × 270º field of view, and high scan speed (50,000 points per second). The Smart X-Mirror automatically spins for fast 360º and full-dome scans, and oscillates for efficient, targeted scans. The same mirror automatically aligns the internal camera image for fast, accurate texture mapping of point clouds.
