A terrestrial mode alongside mobile capture

FJD’s T1 firmware V1.0.1 release adds tripod-mounted terrestrial scanning alongside Mobile, Long-Time and Backpack modes. Terrestrial projects can contain multiple stations. Operators can name stations, choose a point-cloud density and preview or download a completed station individually.

How station capture is organized

The release describes automatic checks for leveling, tripod connection and storage before scanning. A live preview appears during acquisition, and the selected density determines completion. SLAM assistance records relative station positions for later registration. The required companion versions are Trion Scan 3.9.0 or later and Trion Model PC 209.002 or later.

Build the field record around the deliverable

DRT recommends agreeing on the required output before choosing a capture pattern. A station name should connect the data to a recognizable location, and a short field log should explain what each station covers. Keep the project record with the raw files so another operator can understand how the site was captured. Density selection should be evaluated against the actual feature that needs to be resolved.

Complete the test through export

For an initial evaluation, capture a representative area, inspect individual stations, process the project and open the deliverable in the receiving software. Check for missing coverage and obvious alignment problems before leaving the test behind. Follow FJD’s operating instructions during capture, including keeping the scanner stationary. This trial establishes the complete workflow from field acquisition to a usable file.
