ILRIS-3D: Intelligent Laser Ranging and Imaging System

Optech's ILRIS-3D is a complete, fully portable, laser-based imaging and digitizing system for the commercial survey, engineering, mining and industrial markets.

A compact and highly integrated package with digital image capture and sophisticated software tools, ILRIS-3D is a 21st-century solution that addresses the needs of commercial users. ILRIS-3D is field-ready and requires no specialized training for deployment. About the size of a motorized total station, with an on-board 6 megapixel digital camera and large-format LCD viewfinder, ILRIS-3D has a visual interface similar to that of a digital camera. Field deployment is made extremely efficient by ILRIS-3D's high data rate and large dynamic range - from 3 m up to 1,500 m. ILRIS-3D is completely eyesafe in all modes of operation, even when its invisible beam is viewed directly through binoculars.

ILRIS-3D is deployed by a single operator. The modular design ensures that all functionality is available, making operation as easy as possible. Setup is rapid and simple - no leveling required - and the system is controlled via a wireless handheld PDA or laptop. The target area and scan status are displayed locally on screen, and data is written directly to removable media. Measurement area and spot density are user definable.

ILRIS-3D is designed for rugged field use, based on Optech's experience in designing and manufacturing laser-based industrial level monitors, object positioners and mining equipment. It is rated for operation from 0° C to 40° C, and is weatherproof for use outdoors. The system's Class 1 eyesafety rating, large dynamic collection range and compact size all ensure that difficult surveys can be completed quickly, safely and accurately.

Itroducing the ILRIS-3₆D

ILRIS-3₆D offers all of the capability of ILRIS-3₆D while providing the added functionality of a 360° x 360° field of view. ILRIS-3₆D comes equipped with a fully motorized panning and tilting base that allows for seamless coverage of large areas. The base is operationally integrated with the scanner and is controlled seamlessly through scanner control software.

An accurate on-board encoder ensures that the resulting data sets are seamless and accurately aligned. When the extended field of view is not required or when size and weight are of paramount importance, the user can easily remove the base and operate the scanner with a 40° x 40° field of view, with no loss of accuracy or functionality.

Color Point Clouds

An on-board 6 megapixel camera allows for more accurate targeting, while the resulting images are used to automatically generate a geometrically accurate 3D point cloud that includes the color of each measurement. Optech's color channel technology provides seamless integration between the on-board sensors. In addition, other external imagers can be mounted to the system and the information can be added seamlessly and automatically to the resulting 3D data set.
