Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced significant improvements to its autonomous flying laser scanner BLK2FLY. The product captures building exteriors, interiors, structures, and the environment while in flight, autonomously creating 3D point clouds.
The Leica BLK2FLY is a semi-automatic device designed to help architects, engineers, and designers easily and quickly capture exterior features and dimensions of buildings and environments that would require a drone with a LiDAR payload or a traditional photogrammetry UAV. An autonomous flying laser scanner. To operate BLK2FLY, users simply tap their tablet a few times and BLK2FLY captures the complete external dimensions of structures such as roofs and facades in the form of a colored 3D point cloud.
BLK2FLY also features a new exploratory scan and two new workflows for indoor and outdoor scans. Additionally, BLK2FLY also offers three different levels of scan quality based on the environment and user needs. These levels include:
• Standard quality: Ideal for large outdoor environments that require minimal time.
• High quality: Suitable for complex outdoor environments and large indoor environments.
• Very high quality: Useful in small and complex indoor environments.
