High-resolution LIDAR sensor Cygnus 3

lightweightindustrial3D

Overview
SatLab Cygnus 3 is a portable engineering‑grade SLAM scanner designed for complex indoor and outdoor environments. By integrating LiDAR, three true‑color cameras, RTK/PPK positioning and advanced SLAM algorithms into a single compact system, it provides reliable colorized point clouds and engineering outputs for demanding surveying, mapping and inspection projects.

Key features

• Integrated sensors: LiDAR combined with three true‑color (RGB) cameras.
• Positioning: Built‑in GNSS antenna with RTK/PPK support and RTK‑assisted SLAM workflows.
• Connectivity: Integrated cellular module for remote workflow support and data transfer.
• Real‑time feedback: Live point cloud preview, live colorized visualization, route‑based accuracy heatmap and LED accuracy indicator for on‑site quality checks.
• Flexible deployment: Supports handheld, backpack, vehicle‑mounted and UAV‑mounted configurations for varied site conditions.
• Outputs: Single‑scan deliverables including colorized point clouds, mesh models and 3DGS exports.

Benefits

• Seamless indoor‑to‑outdoor capture with reduced dependence on closed‑loop paths.
• On‑site quality assurance reduces rework and missed coverage.
• One dataset supports multiple deliverables and streamlines post‑processing to accelerate delivery from field capture to analysis and visualization.

Applications

• Construction & building surveys
• Mining & tunnel mapping
• Stockpile and volumetric measurement
• Infrastructure corridors and utilities
• Industrial facility documentation
• Urban mapping and digital twin production
• Emergency response and rapid mapping

Workflow & post‑processing
SatLiDAR wizard‑based workflow supports automated filtering, automatic colorization and automatic geo‑referencing via RTK/PPK streams. The integrated on‑device SLAM combined with SatLiDAR post‑processing delivers engineering‑grade alignment and export options to standard point cloud and mesh formats.
