Trimble X9 Laser Scanning
The new Trimble X9 laser scanning system and Trimble Forensics Capture software work together to collect and process comprehensive data that supports analysis for crash investigations. New features in the combined hardware and software solution streamline the data collection workflow to deliver analysis-ready data faster so reconstruction specialists can get to work without delays. Timing is critical is obtaining evidence, and end-users benefit from rapid data collection to ensure information is not lost or destroyed.
The Trimble X9 laser scanning system is a valuable tool for expediting field data collection. The Trimble X9 collects higher-quality scans on difficult or dark surfaces and collects data faster and at a longer range. The X9 effectively captures data in any of the often-challenging scenarios that our reconstruction team must evaluate. As a result, the time spent on site and the number of personnel required to collect data is reduced. Timing is always critical in accident reconstruction, whether it be we are at an active scene and they are needing to clear the area, a large scene that would once take several scanners going for several hours, or just to make our time more efficient for our clients.The high-density point clouds capture an industry-leading level of detail that improves the quality and accuracy of reconstructions and analysis.
Trimble Forensics Capture Software
To further reduce time in the field, Trimble Forensics Capture field software transfers survey data to Trimble Perspective software where the scan data from the X9 is georeferenced and sent back to Capture. The software creates a single file containing georeferenced scan data, annotations and images, greatly simplifying file management and the export of collected data to Trimble Forensics office software for analysis. The end-to-end Trimble Forensics hardware and software solution serves accident reconstructionists, delivering better-quality data, faster and under more challenging collection conditions, and simplifying the transfer of data from the field to the office in a single synced file. In the office, automatic classification and advanced functionality result in clean data sets that support accurate, trusted analysis, allowing forensic specialists to produce a broad range of deliverables with confidence.
The combination of the Trimble X9 Laser Scanner and the Trimble Forensics Capture Software offered by Collision Specialists Inc., means that you’ll have the newest and best tools and technology working for you. We always strive to equpit ourselves with the latest technology in this ever-growing ecosystem.
A special thank you to Duncan Parnell for this new innovative equipment and software.
