BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is focused on advancing geospatial data collection capabilities to support mission planning and improve situational awareness in various operational environments. As part of an intent to build a comprehensive, simplified 3D model, not a point cloud, Local-scale Integrated Mapping of Buildings (LIMB) project’s mission is to create a final product can easily be passed across limited connectivity environments. Current 3D point cloud models are extremely large datasets that are not functional or able to be manipulated by the tactical user. To this end, ERDC has identified the need for a handheld lidar system integrated with a red, green blue (RGB) camera to collect the foundation data to generate a simplified 3D textured mesh model. Furthermore, the intent is to leverage this technology in a GPS denied environments to include interiors of buildings, sub-terranean environments, and under canopy environments. This document outlines the requirements for the specifications of this system, which will include a piece of hardware that has the camera and lidar together and a separate software suite.
