In today’s fast-paced construction and surveying industries, efficient data collection and accuracy are critical for transforming field measurements into actionable insights. One standout tool in this space is the ViDoc RTK Rover from PIX4D. This leading device makes it possible to generate high-accuracy 3D models and digital twins, streamlining the transition from the field to finish. Here’s how the ViDoc RTK Rover can transform your workflows, and how OR3D, a UK partner of PIX4D, can support you in making the most of this technology.

What is the ViDoc RTK Rover?

The ViDoc RTK Rover by PIX4D is an advanced, portable device designed to capture highly accurate geospatial data. When paired with mobile mapping apps like PIX4Dcatch, the rover provides centimetre-level accuracy in data collection, turning your smartphone or tablet into a high-precision surveying instrument. This combination allows for efficient 3D scanning of terrains, buildings, and infrastructures – perfect for surveyors, engineers, and architects who need to translate field conditions directly into digital models.

With its RTK capabilities, the ViDoc Rover delivers real-time corrections, ensuring the data collected is precise and reliable. This precision means users can achieve accuracy from 20mm, making the rover an ideal choice for applications in construction, civil engineering, and topographic surveying.

Variety of Outputs

The ViDoc RTK Rover, combined with PIX4D software, allows for the creation of a variety of digital outputs beyond CAD, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of industries. Whether you need detailed 3D models, comprehensive georeferenced imagery, or simple PDFs for stakeholder presentations, the ViDoc RTK Rover provides the flexibility and precision needed to meet diverse project needs. With the support of OR3D as a UK partner, professionals can find the right format for their specific requirements and make the most of their investment in this powerful technology.

Data collected with the ViDoc RTK Rover is typically processed through PIX4Dmatic to create accurate 3D models, point clouds, and orthomosaics. These outputs can then be exported into 3D CAD applications such as AutoCAD, Revit, or Civil 3D for further design or imported into PIX4D Survey for stockpile volume calculations or vectorisation workflows for creating 2D drawings. This seamless integration from field to CAD speeds up the workflow, improves accuracy, and ultimately makes for better project outcomes.

The Benefits of the ViDoc RTK Rover

Portability and Ease of Use

The compact design of the ViDoc RTK Rover makes it easy to carry and deploy in the field. Pair it with a compatible smartphone or tablet, and you have a mobile surveying unit that fits in a backpack. The software is intuitive and can be quickly learnt and used by non surveyors.

Cost-Efficient Solution

Compared to traditional surveying equipment, the ViDoc Rover offers a more affordable solution without compromising on accuracy. This makes it ideal for smaller businesses or projects where tripod mounted laser scanners might be cost-prohibitive.

Real-Time Accuracy

The RTK capabilities ensure that the data collected is as accurate as possible in real-time, reducing the need for post-processing and speeding up the delivery of results. The data you collect is ready to be processed and shared to stakeholders using PIX4Dcloud.

Enhanced Data Quality

With support from PIX4D’s ecosystem of software solutions, the data captured can be processed into high-resolution 3D models, which can be used for volume calculations, project milestone recording, site analysis, and more.

Versatile Applications

From construction site surveys and environmental assessments to heritage preservation and urban planning, the ViDoc RTK Rover provides value across various sectors, making it a versatile tool for professionals.

Real-World Applications of the ViDoc RTK Rover

To illustrate the potential of the ViDoc RTK Rover, consider a construction site survey. Using the rover, a surveyor can capture the exact dimensions and topography of the site, even in complex environments with limited GPS signals. The real-time RTK corrections ensure that the data is precise, allowing the surveyor to generate a 3D model of the site within hours. This model can then be exported to a CAD platform for further analysis, such as assessing elevations, planning drainage systems, or designing infrastructure layouts.

The time savings here are significant. With the ViDoc RTK Rover, you capture everything you need in one go, and with the support of OR3D, you can ensure the data flows seamlessly into the software.
