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.
