Topcon Introduces the CR-H1 Handheld Reality Capture Solution for Maximum Mobility in Bauma
Summary
The system utilizes PIX4Dcatch, a specialized application that runs on iPhone devices with integrated LiDAR that collects images and employs photogrammetry to create detailed, full-color 3D point clouds. The receiver and iPhone are both mounted on a specialized handle designed and manufactured by Topcon, so users can easily capture point clouds without the need for a tripod. “The CR-H1 responds to growing market demand for accessible, high-precision reality capture solutions,” said Murray Lodge, executive vice president of Topcon Positioning Systems. “By combining Topcon’s advanced GNSS technology with Pix4D’s industry-leading photogrammetry software, we are providing users with a powerful yet intuitive tool for creating accurate 3D models in the field. It is part of our commitment to providing innovative solutions in 3D data collection and processing.” The CR-H1 marks the first product launch since Topcon and Pix4D established their strategic cooperation agreement earlier this year, demonstrating the rapid implementation of their collaborative development efforts.
