Overview
Stop & Go is a laser scanning method that gathers high resolution 3D measurements together with digital images from a static mobile platform. The platform is then moved to repeat data capture at successive locations. The scan positions do not need to be accurately geo-referenced to each other since they are aligned during post-processing using PolyWorks' IMAlign module. This makes Stop & Go a highly-effective method for scanning large areas quickly, but accurately.
Typical Setup
Typically, a Stop & Go laser scanning system comprises of a laser scanning platform together with GPS, a power supply and mobile PC. Due to the versatility of the system, it can be deployed on various vehicles, including vans, 4x4 vehicles and quad bikes.
