Whitepaper: Surveying Payload Accuracy Report
What level of accuracy can you achieve with the Elios 3’s Rev 7 LiDAR in the Surveying Payload ? This whitepaper explores how the payload's accuracy performs in various environments of increasing complexity.
The Elios 3 Surveying Payload package combines the Ouster OS0-128 Rev 7 LiDAR sensor and high-accuracy processing powered by FARO Insight, giving surveyors a powerful tool for capturing detailed 3D data in complex and hard-to-access environments. Users can process their data with High-Accuracy Mapping in Inspector Online or FARO Connect, with both workflows delivering the expected accuracy ranges presented in this report.
In this whitepaper authored by Flyability, we compare the results of the Surveying Payload in multiple confined spaces, including bridge interiors and sewers of varying sizes. As environments become smaller and more symmetrical, we analyze how it affects the LiDAR payload's results. The contents of this whitepaper include a definition and comparison of accuracy versus precision before moving on to the tests. In the conclusion, we compare all of our results and provide clear guidance on the level of accuracy users can expect from the Elios 3 Surveying Payload across different environments, with drift as low as 0.1–0.2% in structured environments.
