Zeb Horizon - now UAV Compatible

If you ever wanted to combine surveying with walking around like a ghostbuster scanning everything you meet with a handheld device - the ZEB Revo and its descendants are probably your best chance of making that dream come true. Using SLAM techniques it is capable of registering the points captured in near-real time and building up a complete point cloud of an area. Early models were spring mounted so as you walked around the scanner head flip-flopped from side to side and this motion allowed the scanner to direct scanlines to cover all of the surrounding environment.





I received notification this morning that they were taking these systems a step further and that the new ZEB Horizon would now come with a dedicated UAV mount and was UAV compatible. A handheld laser scanner that you can take underground or mount on a drone is quite versatile.
