World's First App for Easy High-Precision 3D
Surveying with an iPad Pro,OPTiM Land Scan Beta, Now Available for Free
Reduce Surveying Time and Labor Costs; Solve Labor Shortage Problems
OPTiM Corporation, a leader in AI, IoT, and Big Data platforms, has announced the OPTiM Land Scanapp today. With LiDAR※１ sensor-equipped tablets, users can obtain high-precision 3D data of survey
targets such as soil structure※2. OPTiM is the world's first※3 to launch this kind of application. Fromusing this application, users will be able to reduce surveying time and labor costs, as well as solve
other issues in the construction and civil engineering industries, such as engineer shortages.
This application was developed as part of the "Construction x IT Strategic Comprehensive Alliance"with Matsuo Construction, the largest general contractor in the Kyushu area, to resolve issues in theconstruction industry. On August 3, 2020, OPTiM will start to offer the beta version of this application
free of charge.

■About OPTiM Land Scan
By using a tablet to scan surveying targets like soil structure, this application can generate the highprecision 3D data necessary for civil engineering sites. This application is intended to be used at small
sites where it would be difficult to deploy drones or laser scanners. It is also capable of reducing
surveying time by up to 60% ※ 4 compared to conventional electro-optical surveying. In addition,specialized surveying knowledge is not required to scan with this application, and can be done by asingle person, helping with labor shortages. Furthermore, the 3D data acquired from surveying withthis application can be output in LandXML format, allowing users to create cross-sectional maps using
point cloud processing or CAD software.

Press Release■Surveying Process of OPTiM Land Scan
This service is designed to be adaptable to the following processes.
・ Before construction: pre-construction surveying
・ During construction: in-process workmanship surveying
・ After construction: completed workmanship surveying◆ Surveying Process in the Construction Industry■Features of OPTiM Land Scan
1. One person can easily survey
With conventional surveying methods, operators for total stations and people to hold pin poles
are needed. However, this service allows for one person to perform the entire survey simply byscanning the surveying target with a tablet running this app.
2.

Reduced surveying time
3D data can be acquired by just scanning the target, reducing necessary surveying time andeliminated the need 3D data processing, reducing the overall time needed for surveying.

3.

Anyone can do high-precision surveying
Even inexperienced surveyors can do a high-precision survey with a simple scan of soil structureor another target. In addition, the technical training time is shortened, alleviating engineer
shortages.

4.

The realization of ICT earthwork
Acquiring 3D data allows for users to create construction plans based on ICT earthwork and togenerate and deliver 3D data such as 3D blueprints, making ICT earthwork possible for evensmall and medium sized businesses which could not do such work previously.
