Mobile Scanning for topographic mapping?
Being part of a small company we are in position to buy some new equipment. My boss is wanting to get into the sector of mobile scanning and in particular wants to buy a Kaarta Stencil. Nobody in our company has experience with any type of scanning. And while I am interested in this venture, I do still have some reservations of it’s capabilities.
My boss is wanting to use the scanning for all our topographic work since it will reduce field time greatly. Topographic work would include: small residential lot surveys, ALTA’s, Road improvement projects, and even creek bank stabilization projects with dense brush.
My question for those of you who have experience with scanning equipment is would you use it for all your topographic needs?
What are its limits in regards to topographic mapping?
Would any of you use it for a job such as a creek bank stabilization project with dense brush?
Again, I am a novice when it comes to scanning so any feedback would be beneficial and greatly appreciated!
