GeoSLAM and Bentley Systems Join Forces for Indoor Mobile Modelling

GeoSLAM, who specialise in 3D mobile mapping technology, and Bentley Systems, a global provider of software solutions for advancing infrastructure, has announced a partnership to enable the simple and fast production of hybrid reality models in any environment.

Mark Reid, VP of Product Management at GeoSLAM, said “The simplicity of the ZEB-REVO handheld mobile mapping system has democratised laser scanning, enabling anybody to document their facility or construction site without being a survey expert. The next stage for us is to further improve how our results can be both interpreted and consumed within typical engineering and GIS workflows – and our partnership with Bentley is the perfect vehicle for this.”

Bentley Systems’ reality modelling software, ContextCapture, available on desktop and mobile devices, produces engineering grade textured 3D models from photographs. A quick and inexpensive way to provide real world context, the software is commonly used for modelling outdoor environments either from images taken from the ground or with the use of drones.

Francois Valois, Senior director of software development, Bentley said, “Bentley is really excited about working with GeoSLAM to extend what is possible with both ContextCapture and ZEB-REVO. With the recent introduction of hybrid processing, it is now possible to produce reality models based on both photos and laser data. Certain indoor environments often prove to be a challenge for photogrammetry due to a lack of texture change. Hence, by using a hybrid solution it is now possible to generate accurate reality models of almost any environment.”

Through a combination of using the ZEB-REVO mobile mapping system and ZEB-CAM, and the latest version of ContextCapture software, it is now possible to produce high resolution textured reality meshes of indoor scenes, complex infrastructure and other challenging environments faster than ever before.
