In other words, even if the Trimble VX is mounted in the desert on a scorching day, the surveyor doesn't need to endure the harsh climate of the site he or she can collect data from a sheltered area or a van nearby. The device can be operated either remotely or by a cable using a control pad, such as the Trimble TSC2. The Trimble VX's movements are powered by Trimble MagDrive technology, which uses a frictionless electromagnetic system (derived from the method deployed on high-speed trains) to control the optical device's angles and rotations. The Trimble VX's configuration, he argues, is designed to capture the point cloud data in a density that's more suited to the surveyors' needs. "They would often say, 'What am I going to do with millions of points? I don't need that much,' " he remarks. One thing that has discouraged surveyors from using commercially available 3D scanning devices is the massive volume of point cloud data they generate, according to Soubra. Standard survey measurements displayed as points (top) and the same points displayed alongside the 3D point cloud data captured by VX (middle and bottom). Trimble executives point out that the Trimble VX's data acquisition rate, though significantly lower than that of the Trimble GX 3D Scanner (up to 5,000 points per second at 200 meters, with the option to extend to 350 meters), is adequate to capture the mass and volume surveyors will usually come across. The Trimble VX spec sheet indicates that the device typically scans at a speed of 5 points per second at a range of 150 meters (492 feet), but can increase its performance to 15 points per second. But the real star of the show was the Trimble VX Spatial Station, an 11.5LB robotic measuring device mounted on a tripod.Ĭrossbreeding the Trimble S6 Total Station with DR (direct reflex) from the IS portfolio and the GX 3D Scanner from the SI portfolio, the company produced new equipment that combines the accurate positioning capability of the former and the video-overlaying and point cloud capturing technologies of the latter to produce 2D and 3D data sets.

Taking full advantage of the cinematic venue, the company's IS (integrated surveying) portfolio manager Erik Schuetz and SI (spatial imaging) portfolio manager Omar-Pierre Soubra engaged the audience through an act of dramatized dialogue, designed to illustrate the tension between the traditional 2D survey workflow and the emerging 3D technology. The premiere event, commemorated with mockup posters inspired by The Matrix and the Indiana Jones franchises, marked the launch of the Trimble VX Spatial Station, an advanced positioning system. The journalists were then ushered into a special screening room where Trimble executives had assembled. On February 9 in snow-sprinkled Colorado, Trimble, one of the largest survey equipment manufacturers, shuttled a group of reporters and editors from the Westin Hotel in Westminster to the AMC Theater nearby. WinLUE, Clearroute, Banedanmark) allow the export of analysis results according to the requirements of the infrastructure operators for the respective clearance databases.Pushing Surveying Beyond Points 19 Feb, 2007 By: Kenneth Wong Trimble introduces the Trimble VX Spatial Station for spatial imaging Untitled Document In addition to the data kinematically recorded with the Trimble GEDO Scan System, static laser scan data and point clouds can also be processed by the Mobile Mapping System.Īdditional modules (e.g. After automatic dimensioning, the DXF export takes place. Cross profiles generated along the route are further processed and vectorized with Trimble GEDO Scan Analysis. Points can be taken directly from the point cloud and line objects can be registered automatically. Overhead lines are detected and the distances to the track position are calculated. The position of the adjacent track can be detected from the scan. The clearance can be checked with a static frame or on the basis of a wagon model. The distances of objects relative to the track position or between objects can be measured. The GEDO Scan Office Point Cloud module enables track specific analysis of the point cloud.
