Urban Environment Scanning and Analysis in Anyang, China

GoSLAM M40 RTK Scanner
Company:GoSLAM
Location:Anyang, China
Website:en.goslam.com
Main Activity:Development of mobile LiDAR and 3D scanning solutions for accurate and efficient spatial data acquisition

Use Case

The project consisted of scanning and analyzing an urban environment in the city of Anyang (Henan province, China), with the need to capture large volumes of data quickly and efficiently.

The main challenges were the speed of field acquisition, managing a high-density point cloud, noise removal, automatic element classification, and generating final models and results oriented to surveying and engineering work.

Urban environment in Anyang

Point cloud of the urban environment captured with GoSLAM M40 RTK

The solution was based on combining the GoSLAM M40 RTK mobile scanner with Aplitop's tcp Point Cloud Editor software, covering the entire workflow from capture to final analysis.

The scanning process was fast and simple, controlled from a mobile device, generating a post-processed point cloud of approximately 181 million points. This cloud was imported into tcp Point Cloud Editor, where it could be viewed by natural color, elevation, intensity, or time.

Point cloud visualization

Point cloud visualization by different attributes

Using advanced editing tools, noise points were removed and elevation filters were applied to temporarily hide vegetation. Automatic classification based on artificial intelligence assigned categories such as terrain, vegetation, buildings, or vehicles, greatly facilitating the analysis.

Automatic AI classification

Automatic classification using artificial intelligence

The software allowed generating digital terrain models, contour lines, profiles, as well as performing 2D and 3D measurements with great precision. CAD tools facilitated drawing directly on the point cloud, layer management, and object editing.

CAD tools and DTM

DTM generation, contour lines, and CAD tools

Additionally, panoramic images were integrated by synchronizing the view with the point cloud for better spatial understanding. Finally, the results were exported to a web viewer, allowing visualization and analysis from any device.
