Accuracy in non-symmetrical & symmetrical environments

The Surveying Payload offered by Flyability, takes advantage of the latest Ouster REV 7’s supercharged L3 chip and the unmatched capabilities of FARO Connect to offer users a new approach to mobile mapping. However, the accuracy of the scans may vary depending on the geometry of the mapping environment. Below you can find four types of environments we identified and the results you can expect to get.

	Environment	Configuration
Elios 3 & FlyAware	Surveying Payload & FARO Connect
Structured environments	Buildings, stockpiles, containment areas Little to no symmetry Geometric features Diameter/distance between walls >2m meters (6.5 feet)	1x 0.5-1% drift	5-10x ~0.1-0.2%
Nominal symmetric environments	Tunnels, stacks, shafts Diameter >2m (6.5 feet) Regular geometric features	1x ~2% drift	5-10x ~0.25-0.5%
Challenging symmetrical environments	Tunnels, stacks, shafts Diameter >2m (6.5 feet) Light geometric features	1x 2-5% drift	2-5x 0.5-2% (50-80% success rate)
Very challenging symmetrical environments	Tunnels, pipes, stacks, shafts Diameter <2m (6.5 feet) Light geometric features	1x 5+% drift	1-2x 2-5% (50-80% success rate)
