Ordnance Survey Case Study National mapping agency for Great Britain, Ordnance Survey, were in need of a quicker and more cost-effective way to collect georeferenced pointcloud data. Their existing method wasn’t sustainable in the long-term so they turned to Datron Technology and OxTS to help them develop a convenient, low-cost mobile mapping system that could be used ‘off the-shelf’. To […]
