Leica TRK500 Mobile Mapping Smart Autonomous
Introduction
Mobile mapping has never been easier with Leica Pegasus TRK500/700 Neo. Intuitive and autonomous workflows make mobile mapping accessible to more professionals than ever before, opening more business and revenue opportunities across multiple industries. The Pegasus TRK500/700 Neo system captures and creates accurate, high-quality digital twins increasing efficiency from field to office.
- The Future is Autonomous: Transforming mobile mapping with autonomous data collection assuring project completeness.
- The Future is Intelligent: Delivering intelligence with advanced positioning, data-efficient sensors and adaptive imagery systems for rich, immersive detail to expand use cases.
- The Future is Simplified: Simplifying set-up, operation and application to expand opportunities while minimising personnel resources.
Main Unit
Pegasus TRK500 Neo: Pegasus TRK500 Neo – the data-efficient single scanner
option, capturing 500,000 points per second.
Pegasus TRK700 Neo: Pegasus TRK700 Neo – with dual scanners for when
higher point cloud density is required, capturing 1 million points per second.
Simplicity in design Simple in use
Battery Unit Expand when you need.
With safe transport mode, the Li-Ion batteries can be shipped safely so you
can travel the world at ease. Expandable with up to three batteries for up to
21 hours of operation or hot-swap for continuous power, the Pegasus TRK power
system keeps you moving.
Control Unit Works while you rest.
Created to transform the workflow for reality capture professionals, the
control unit allows you to go straight from data capture to processing on-the-
fly, right when you need it. No more time-consuming transcoding, storage
overhead or errors during data transfer.
Endless Opportunity
Pegasus TRK puts mobile mapping in the hands of more people than ever before.
Simple to operate, the Pegasus TRK requires less training so you can cut costs
but not performance. Weighing in at just 18kg with a unique rotating-tilt
mounting platform and ergonomic design, Pegasus TRK can be safely set up and
operated by one person. Intuitive software guides you from project planning to
project delivery.
Accessories
-
Carrier platform
The ergonomic lightweight carrier platform rotates and tilts to safely mount the Pegasus TRK system on your vehicle. The platform rotates into three positions (-30°/0°/+30°) which allows data collection from the TRK500 on the diagonal and a cross point cloud pattern from multi-pass acquisitions, usually only achievable with a dual scanner. -
Modular camera system
Seamlessly integrate up to four additional 24MP pairs of cameras – to capture front, sides, and pavement angles for texture analysis and intrinsic calibration for seamless panorama imagery. -
Butterfly side cameras
The butterfly side cameras have a dual position, vertical and horizontal, enabling the capture of vertical arches in high-resolution for texturing and damage analysis or horizontal features like traffic signs or civic numbers. -
Optical DMI
The optical DMI is absent from the standard slip error of wheel-based DMI and complies with traffic safety regulations by being mountable on the car’s backside and not exceeding the car silhouette. -
Second GNSS antenna
The second GNSS antenna improves the initialisation for rail and marine applications. The lever arm is automatically calculated, improving the overall accuracy results.
Software
All-new powerful software Leica Pegasus FIELD and Leica Cyclone PegasusOFFICE for a field-to-finished workflow – from data capture to processing and final deliverable.
Leica Pegasus FIELD
The all-new Leica Pegasus FIELD software brings autonomy to data
collection. Plan routes and set goals for each project from the office or out
in the field. Reliable data acquisition considers satellite availability and
signal coverage for automated routing. With edge computing and on-the-fly
processing, data is collected and enhanced in real-time at the speed of the
traffic. This powerful field software will guide you through project set-up
and plan projects based on your accuracy requirements and the environment –
whether you’re on city roads or railroads. Use predefined profiles to achieve
the best possible results. Live feedback from audio and visual guidance
removes uncertainties to plan and acquire data with confidence.
Leica Cyclone Pegasus OFFICE
With a familiar user experience to the established Cyclone software
ecosystem, Leica Cyclone Pegasus OFFICE provides a seamless data flow into
post-processing and publishing workflows. Complete all your processing
requirements in one solution. Refine data with precision geo-referencing and
multi-pass trajectory adjustment and create colourised 3D point cloud data
that is automatically privacy-compliant.
Doing it all. In all new ways
Guided project set-up automates the mission planning and data collection
process to increase efficiency, improve data quality and reduce project costs.
Plan in advance with preset features and profiles that simplify system
initialisation to data delivery. Intelligent routing for the most efficient
data collection. Sensors are triggered autonomously along the planned route,
so no detail is missed. Live in-field viewing of data acquisition is
highlighted on the base map.
Built-in privacy
Say goodbye to manual object blurring. People and vehicles are anonymised
in real-time, protecting citizen privacy and ensuring GPDR compliance.
Integrated with a real-time AI algorithm, the Pegasus TRK solution actively
identifies and blurs complete objects directly in the imagery as the data is
collected. All information is encrypted and won’t leave your Pegasus TRK
system.
Applications
Pegasus TRK opens up a new world of application possibilities to a broader
group of new or experienced users, those new to mobile mapping, and users with
advanced technical expertise in industries such as surveying, transportation
and utilities. Developed for applications requiring long-range mobile mapping,
Pegasus TRK500/700 Neo delivers the highest levels of detail for digital twin
creation.
Bring images and data to life.: Best-in-class colour truth – brought to life as it is in reality. Pegasus TRK features a SmartFusion ‘butterfly’ camera system with up to 120MP integral view. Boosted with add-on front, side and rear pavement cameras, TRK is expandable with a click. The additional cameras multiply the resolution, creating data-rich imagery. Enhanced calibration delivers true colour imagery according to the CIEDE2000 colour- difference formula.
A delta was never so small: The sophisticated integration of IMU and SLAM technology in Pegasus TRK’s sensor architecture enables georeferencing in challenging GNSS denied environments. Precision RTK positioning gives location accuracy down to the centimetre, in real-time. Trajectory is improved when optical DMI accessories are installed on the back of the vehicle to measure the travel distance in GNSS challenging conditions accurately, avoiding traditional slip error of wheel-based DMI.
Expand and go. More detail. More possibilities.: Fully integrated modular imaging system allows you to add more cameras for more angles, more detail and more possibilities. Automatic camera calibration simplifies and streamlines the system set up to expand and go. Collecting at up to eight frames per second, no details are missed.
Plan Capture Deliver
Plan and execute projects with confidence. Spontaneous visual and audio feedback along the route makes data collection failure a thing of the past. Leica Pegasus FIELD predicts the time required for planned missions and storage and battery capacity needed to perform the job. Throughout the journey, image previews, accuracy estimations, and live system feedback instil absolute confidence in the data acquisition process.
