¶ XGRIDS digital forest models
Description: XGRIDS) is a high-precision 3D scanning and mapping technology used to digitize environments. Here is what XGRIDS does in forests:
Real-time 3D Scanning: XGRIDS devices, such as the Lixel K1, are handheld LiDAR scanners that capture 3D data and create colorized, detailed point cloud models of forest environments in real-time.
Virtual Forest Creation: This technology is used for creating digital twins of forests, which can then be used in applications like digital walkthroughs, virtual production, or gaming environments (e.g., Unreal Engine).
Irregular Grid Analysis: XGRIDS processes 3D point cloud data by using "irregular grids" that are designed to avoid cutting across trees, which improves the accuracy of tree segmentation and tree measurement in complex forests.
High Accuracy: The technology provides centimetre-level accuracy (e.g., relative accuracy of up to 1.2 cm) over a 360° field of view, making it suitable for detailed forestry surveying, environmental modeling, and 3D content creation.
