The O2 Lite, O2 and O2 Pro all scan buildings and stockpiles. What changes is how much detail you get, and whether you need a photo-real 3D model. This is how we match them to the job, from our own scanning.
Start with what you have to hand over. Each step up adds detail, and cost.
General wall scans for floor plan layout
A decent scanner for floor plans. We have used the O2 Lite for multiple floor plan scans.
As-builts with real definition
When the as-built has to show very good definition of walls, ceilings, floors, windows and trim.
The best photo-real 3D model
Three 1-inch cameras for the best Gaussian Splatting model, on top of a survey-grade scan.
Gaussian Splatting needs good light. Scan an old, dark warehouse and the Gaussian Splatting model will be poor, but the LiDAR data from an O2 there is still excellent.
Walking around a tall pile, a handheld scanner sees the sides well but not the top. Mount an O2 or O2 Lite on a pole with the pole adapter and raise it 20 to 25 feet. You get much better data on top of the pile, and a better volume.
Both make good stockpile reports. The O2 gives better results. The O2 Pro would be overkill.
Better results on big piles and yards
More channels and more range, for cleaner piles and larger yards.
Smaller piles and tighter budgets
You can absolutely do stockpile reports with the O2 Lite.
Every LiGrip comes with LiDAR360 MLS BP, which makes the point cloud. Run the volumes in a LiDAR360 MLS package or any point cloud software you already use. LiDAR360 MLS prices →
Yes. For general wall scans for a floor plan layout, the O2 Lite is a decent version. We have used it for multiple floor plan scans.
When the as-built has to show very good definition of walls, ceilings, floors, windows and trim, and for the best stockpile results.
When you want the best Gaussian Splatting 3D model. It needs good light: in a dark building the Gaussian Splatting model suffers, while the LiDAR data stays excellent. For stockpiles the O2 Pro is overkill.
