The company says that this high-density and high-resolution camera comes in a unit that is much smaller than its predecessors. The system is used with the Topcon Mobile Master Office software to carry out post-processing functions in a single application. And the company says that the Mobile Master Office software provides a comprehensive workflow in a single package, which can turn raw sensor data collected by the IP-S3 system into rich and precise point clouds and images.
