Dynascan Features

Small Size and Weight

Unlike existing Mobile Mapping Systems, Dynascan' s small size and weight allows deployment on smaller vehicles or vessels. This allows areas of limited or difficult access (e.g. along steep narrow tracks), wooded areas, parks, small river tributaries and narrow water ways to be "dynamically" surveyed.

 

Portability

Dynascan's portability means that the equipment is easily transported as "checked in" baggage on civil airlines or charter aircraft by operators who can then install the equipment on any ‘vehicle or vessel of opportunity' available at the work site. A complete Dynascan weighs less than 50lbs (single head) for the complete system.



Durability

Dynascan contains no delicate scanning mechanisms or rotating mirrors and was designed from the outset to operate in the world's most extreme environments. The Dynascan is built to industrial specifications with an all weather design ensuring the system will operate ‘straight out of the box' after long trans-shipment journeys, minimising down time on the job and time in the repair shop.

The Dynascan is a fully portable 3D mobile mapping system 

Rapid Deployment

No heavy and cumbersome ‘jigs, brackets or fixing mounts are required and no onsite calibration is needed as all sensors are factory calibrated and aligned (inside the Pod). Any mounting ‘offset' errors have no effect on the point cloud data as each is dynamically corrected for GPS/INS geographical position in ‘Real World Coordinates'. One Cable from Scanner Pod to PC eliminates the ‘Spaghetti Cabling problems' often associated with similar complex equipment. 12 or 17 volts DC 120 w (single head) power means that the Dynascan hooks up to the vehicle or Vessels Battery system.

Fully Featured Software

The Dynascan System comes complete with its own fully featured Data Acquisition and 3D processing and Visualisation Software Suite. Based on "no limits" and modular design criteria enabling future developments. The key technology behind the Dynascan software is based on precise navigation, data acquisition, presentation, storage and processing large volumes of data all in real-time to produce almost final results on-the-fly. This also includes techniques in real-time 3D visualisation of both the Land and Marine environment. The Dynascan software provides the user a friendly turnkey solution, from project planning to data collection, quality control, data cleaning, volume calculations and chart production, offering a seamless data flow using a large variety of sensors, all the way to the final product. The Dynascan systems has the flexibility to interface to any sensor, whether this is a GPS receiver, an IMU, a Camera or Video System, a multi-beam echo-sounder or a side scan sonar system. The software offers a large variety of data exchange formats, such as DXF, S-57, XTF, GeoTIFF, GSF, BAG or ASCII, that allows the user to exchange data with many other industry standard applications.

  
 

Training

Dynascan System and Software Training

MDL, together with their partners QPS, offer a comprehensive training package which can be tailored to your specific requirements. The training courses are ‘Modular' and cover both Dynascan and Multi-Beam Echo Sounder operations. All aspects of the Data Acquisition and Post Processing Software will be covered in all training packages as well as Data Management and Data Exporting to 3rd Party Software systems. Training courses include 2 days of real time data acquisition including Land and Marine operations. Candidates will get hands on experience with combined Dynascan and Multi-Beam data acquisition and processing. All courses will be held at an MDL training facility.
