Balko Tech has created a unique solution to lidar mapping with modular “hot-swappable” components, allowing to tailor the system to mapping needs. Cameras are often included as they bring color information to complement 3D measurements.  In such cases, the lidar point cloud can be imported into Correlator3D and colorized, and an orthomosaic can be generated as well.

“We really offer our customers the option to customize the right mapping solution quickly”, said Maude Pelletier, Maude Pelletier, President and CEO. “In partnership with SimActive, Correlator3D provides powerful image processing and lidar point cloud colorization tools for our users.”
