Kenya is set to benefit from the latest laser mapping technology following the purchase of a high specification laser scanner by Kenyan firm Ramani Geosystems.
Supplied by UK-based 3D Laser Mapping, the Riegl LMS Z420i scanner can map the terrain in 3D up to 1,000 meters away with an accuracy of 10mm. Thought to be the first high performance terrestrial laser scanner in the region, the scanner’s rugged design is ideally suited for use in challenging environments.
