Rostislav Lisvoy, Mosaic co-founder and VP of engineering This allows unprecedented speed in creating precise, large volumes of data which can be used for high-quality 3d data.Įven VP of Engineering and co-founder, Rostislav Lisovy, who is a self-proclaimed underplayer (never one to compliment or overstate things) surprised his team by commenting on the clarity and sharpness of the images the first time he laid eyes on the sample data.ĭon’t quote me on this but it’s very good. The data captured by the Mosaic X is capable of producing similar results compared to traditional mobile mapping devices which can cost 10 times that of the Mosaic X.
But the Mosaic X produces extraordinarily sharp images that surpassed our expectations. The Mosaic 51 is very good, don’t get me wrong – much better than any other 360° mobile mapping camera on the market. We spared no expense on the optics this time around. With sub-millisecond synchronization and precise triggering from external sensors as well as distance-based triggering. Where it differs is in the dramatically improved global shutter image sensors, as well as absolutely impeccable optics, allowing the camera rig to be meticulously calibrated in terms of lens intrinsics as well as the spatial geometry of the separate sensors. Further integrations are in the roadmap for Mosaic. WGI performed the LiDAR integration themselves, while Mosaic developed an integration for COWI in order that they achieve RTK via the Emlid RS2 Reach GNSS device. Several customers have already done this with the Mosaic 51 with reportedly good results. Its frame is a hermetically sealed water-resistant enclosure with substantial thermal mass and heat sinks for passive cooling – meaning it can handle extremely hot environments without overheating.Īs mentioned earlier, the Mosaic X CAN create high quality 3D models, 3D reconstructions, and dense point cloud creation without the use of expensive, LiDAR, however, it should be noted that the Mosaic X (like the Mosaic 51), does come with an AUX port, making it possible for the camera to connect with external GNSS devices and/or LiDAR. It is durable, with industrial grade waterproof connectors and protected lenses which can withstand harsh daily use. Just like its predecessor, the meticulous mechanical engineering and design ensures reliable and dependable usage in the harsh conditions of mobile mapping (moisture, mechanical shock, heat, cold). The Mosaic X (like the Mosaic 51) comes with built-in CPU and GPU which allows users to operate the camera and capture data all day long without the need for a computer within the vehicle. The Mosaic X keeps the all-in-one design and no-fuss usability of its predecessor. Mosaic CEO Jeffrey Martin explains that the Mosaic X is the evolution of the Mosaic 51, the company’s flagship camera model which has already been well-received in the 360° mapping and surveying industries. How the Mosaic X compares to the Mosaic 51 The Mosaic X is a singular, easy-to-use system, purposely-built mobile mapping camera, and substantially more economically-feasible than other similar devices on the market. This new model is capable of both extremely accurate photos and 360° videos, while simultaneously capable of creating photorealistic 3D models using photogrammetry, all without the use of LiDAR. The Mosaic X is being touted as, “the only 360° mobile mapping camera featuring global shutter for photogrammetry ability at highway speeds.” A specific qualification, but one that has been in demand for some time. After months of logistical and development hurdles, the camera is undergoing final testing in Prague. Mosaic, a Czech-based geospatial hardware design and manufacturing company specializing in 360° mobile mapping cameras, announces that their third model of mobile mapping, GIS, and surveying camera is ready for pre-order. Prague, Czech Republic, New mobile mapping camera hits the market The long-awaited Mosaic X is now production-ready, with orders to start delivering as of September
