Mapping software Z+F SynCaT®

data conversiondata managementcalibration

Product overview
Z+F SynCaT® is a mobile mapping software that links the Z+F PROFILER® 9012 laser scanner with external positioning and navigation systems. SynCaT stands for synchronization, calibration and transformation and provides workflows to synchronize, calibrate, transform and correct mobile mapping data.

Key functions

• Calibration: Processing of calibration parameters for different system integrations, handling translation and rotation offsets between the navigation unit (trajectory) coordinate system and the Z+F PROFILER® 9012 laser scanner coordinate system.
• Synchronization: Synchronize Z+F PROFILER® 9012 laser scanner data with trajectory (navigation) data and generate 3D point cloud files.
• Transformation: Transform 3D point cloud data to different local coordinate systems and apply local/global height correction models (support for geoid correction files).
• Correction: Individual offset estimation referring to predefined ground control points (GCPs).

Modularity
Z+F SynCaT® is modularly structured so customers can combine modules to assemble a software package tailored to specific project or integration needs.

Integration & output
Designed for mobile mapping workflows with the Z+F PROFILER® 9012, the software produces 3D point cloud files and supports transformations and height corrections required for local coordinate systems and survey-grade outputs.
