Australian firm Klau Geomatics has released Brumby LiDAR, a mapping system for rapidly producing accurate point clouds by removing the typically arduous post-processing workflow.

Suitable for equipping drones, light aircraft, helicopters and MLS on road vehicles, the IP67-rated Brumby can be used for applications such as measuring biomass ahead of a bushfire, rapid mapping for defence, terrain mapping, fast powerline scanning and immediate volumes for mine sites.

Brumby’s edge compute technology processes the NovAtel SPAN INS trajectory in the user’s coordinate system, with precise geoid applied, to produce accurate georeferenced point clouds on the fly, accessible via the removable SSD drive. The unit is designed for ongoing hardware and software development to include live analytics and fit-for-purpose solutions, as needs emerge.
