Mosaic Announces Integration of High Resolution 360º Camera with Laser Scanning Solutions

Mosaic announced that their new Mosaic X spherical camera is compatible with RIEGL’s mobile mapping systems. RIEGL V-Line Scanners are currently some of the highest performing and most widely recognized mobile laser scan systems in the world.

Mosaic is the designer and producer of high resolution 360º mobile mapping cameras. The development of the Mosaic X focused on delivering a high-resolution, global-shutter, 360° camera with precise GNSS time stamping to achieve extreme visual clarity and accuracy at once. Due to this, the Mosaic X meets the requirements to be integrated with mobile laser scanning systems such as the RIEGL VMX, VMQ and VMY series.

What this means for the mobile mapping & geospatial community
Mobile mapping has far-reaching uses across a breadth of industries and sectors, from
private to public organizations, from insurance and engineering firms to telecom and
utility surveying companies. Each end user has different demands on the mapping of
their infrastructure, but the two most consistent demands are for high resolution
photo-realistic imagery and highly accurate, dense, feature-rich data.

Mobile Mapping Systems, such as the RIEGL VMY-1, the RIEGL VMY-2, the RIEGL VMQ-1HA, and the RIEGL VMX-2HA, are recording 3D data of object surfaces in a time-efficient and highly accurate manner.

Mobile mapping cameras such as the Mosaic 51 and Mosaic X capture road infrastructure with photo-realistic accuracy, which is much more understandable to the human eye than a point cloud from a laser scanner.
