Geospatial Solutions
At HORTS, our Geospatial Solutions are tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries such as civil engineering, architecture and plant scanning. Utilizing advanced LiDAR and laser technologies, we deliver precise and detailed data that enhances project planning and execution.
Our solutions offerings encompass project assistance, equipment rental, sales, support and comprehensive training, ensuring our clients have access to the best tools and knowledge for their projects.
3D Laser Scanning
3D Laser Scanning is at the core of our geospatial offerings. Our broad range of laser scanners provide detailed and highly accurate 3D data rapidly and efficiently. This technology is versatile – finding applications in topography, mining, as-built surveying, architecture, archaeology, monitoring, civil engineering, and city modelling. With our project assistance offering, clients can leverage our expertise and equipment to achieve outstanding results.
Mobile Laser Scanning
Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) solutions are particularly suited for mobile mapping applications. Utilizing RIEGL 2D and 3D laser scanners, these systems are supplemented by GNSS and IMU sensors to ensure accurate data registration from moving platforms. The equipment can be mounted to boats, trains and vehicle to name a few. The associated software, RiProcess, facilitates efficient data processing and integration of all data inputs.
Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) provides detailed and highly accurate 3D data for a wide range of applications, from topography and mining to architecture and civil engineering. Our rugged and portable RIEGL terrestrial laser scanners, combined with RiScan Pro software, ensure reliable performance in a wide range of challenging conditions.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) Laser Scanning is ideal for facility management, processing industries, heritage documentation, and forensics. This technology combines efficiency with accuracy, making it perfect for time-sensitive or large-scale applications. The Z+F Laser Control software enhances data processing and analysis.
Unmanned Laser Scanning
Unmanned Laser Scanning (ULS) utilizes highend unmanned airborne platforms to acquire data in hard-to-reach or dangerous areas. This method offers an excellent cost-to-benefit ratio for applications in precision farming, forestry, and mining. The integration of RiProcess with bespoke photogrammetric software allows for comprehensive data handling.
Airborne Laser Scanning
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) captures 3D data of large areas quickly and accurately. This method is highly efficient for surveying agricultural or forestry sites, urban areas, and industrial plants. Our state-of-the-art airborne laser scanners, supported by RiProcess, deliver precise and comprehensive data.
