Spicer Group | First North American Leica Mobile Lidar Provider

Our team at Spicer Group is very proud to announce today that we will be the first North American provider of Mobile Mapping/LiDAR services using the latest in Mobile Mapping technology from Leica Geosystems...the Pegasus: One mobile mapping solution which incorporates the Z+F 9012 profiler.

After years of terrestrial static scanning with the latest Leica scanners and our experience over the last 2 years in processing and extraction from mobile LiDAR datasets, our team felt it was the right time to pursue our own mobile mapping solution.

Today begins a new challenge full of new opportunities for our world class Geospatial Services Group.  We have a dedicated team of motivated professionals excited to pursue nationwide mobile mapping services.

Below are a few highlights of our system and what sets our team apart:
  • 200 Hz laser created dense LiDAR datasets
  • High grade positioning and navigation system coupled with the 2mm precision of the Z+F Laser, produces incredibly accurate datasets.  The most accurate mobile mapping solution available.
  • 6 cameras for full 360 degree image coverage
  • Direct integration with downstream CAD/extraction packages, specifically TopoDOT with full image integration.
  • The Leica software solution runs on ESRI's ArcGIS, allowing direct mapping of assets to be completed in the ESRI ArcGIS environment, building the geodatabase dynamically.
  • Entire image and LiDAR datset can be delivered with a free viewer for use at all levels, allowing simple navigation of the LiDAR and imagery as well as horizontal and vertical measurements.
  • Entire image and LiDAR dataset can be delivered with the software interface allowing clients to mine the dataset at any point in the future.  Inventory additional assets from the same dataset without ever collecting more data....all in the ESRI ArcGIS environment. (screen capture of interface below)
  • Entire system fits in two pelican cases, providing the ability to mobilize anywhere in the world.
  • System is extremely portable and able to be mounted on any platform.  A few that we have planned are:
    • All Terrain Vehicles
    • Survey Crew Trucks
    • Hydrographic Survey Boat
    • Rental Vehicles
Below are a few screen captures of LiDAR datasets we collected with the Leica Pegasus: One system.
