XGRIDS L2 Pro 16/120 LiDAR Scanner Standard Package

LiDAR scanner XGRIDS L2 Pro 16/120 (standard kit) — a portable SLAM system for real-time scanning. The device combines a rotating LiDAR, two 48 MP panoramic cameras and a 6-axis IMU with AI processing. The point cloud forms instantly, with no post-processing, with industrial positioning accuracy. The aluminium housing and IP54 protection ensure stable operation on site.

The key advantages of the XGRIDS L2 Pro 16/120 Standard Package stem from the combination of hardware and a proprietary processing algorithm.

• Real-time processing: the LiDAR, panoramic cameras and IMU work together, so the coloured point cloud is ready immediately after scanning, with no separate post-processing stage.

• LixelUpSample™ algorithm: densifying the point cloud to a 1 mm point-to-point spacing gives sharper contours of lines and edges in subsequent drafting.

• Multi-SLAM: the system maintains absolute coordinates even in tunnels, underground spaces and other areas with limited satellite signal.

• IP54 protection and -20 °C – 50 °C range: the device remains operational on open sites and in industrial premises without an additional housing.

Operating principle: SLAM with real-time processing

The XGRIDS L2 Pro 16/120 Standard Package generates a coloured point cloud directly during scanning, rather than after uploading data to a computer. A rotating LiDAR module, two 48 MP panoramic cameras and a 6-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit) feed data into a shared multi-SLAM algorithm. The result — accuracy that previously required a separate post-processing stage — is now available on-screen instantly.

The figure below illustrates the difference between the operating modes of the previous model and the L2 Pro's result.

Hardware platform

The housing is made of industrial-grade aluminium alloy, and the weight without battery is 1.7 kg. The rotating LiDAR (16 channels, 0.5–120 m range) works together with two 48 MP cameras for panorama capture and a separate camera for visual positioning with a global shutter. This sensor set eliminates the need for external cameras during field surveying.

LixelUpSample™ algorithm

The algorithm densifies the source cloud to 1,000,000 points/m² at a 1 mm step, keeping the cloud thickness within 5 mm over a distance of up to 10 m from the trajectory. A denser point grid delivers a photorealistic coloured image of surfaces without an additional post-processing stage.

The sample below shows the level of detail the algorithm delivers on a complex decorative surface.

Multi-SLAM for challenging conditions

The exclusive multi-SLAM algorithm improves mapping stability where satellite signal is weak or absent: indoors, in basements, underground and in tunnels. This allows data collection to continue without a break in coordinate referencing even with a temporary loss of RTK signal.

The reconstruction below demonstrates the level of detail of the coloured point cloud on an architectural façade.

Real-time data with absolute coordinates

With RTK (Real-Time Kinematic satellite positioning) support, the device maintains absolute coordinate referencing even during a brief signal loss of up to 100 m. Geodetic point coordinates are available immediately on the app screen alongside the live scanning video.

The screen shown below shows how the operator sees the saved geodetic points alongside the live scanning video.

Software and automation

The LixelStudio desktop application covers the full point cloud workflow: capture, editing and processing, and it also supports the .las and .ply formats and plugins for third-party software. The LixelGO mobile application controls scanning directly from a smartphone, shows data collection progress and allows the operator to check point cloud quality right in the field.

A direct phone-to-scanner connection removes the intermediate step of transferring data to a computer during quality checks.

Scan control is reduced to a single button on the device housing.

Once a session is complete, the accuracy verification report shows the operator the route and the quality of the collected data without transferring files to another device.

Operating conditions and housing protection

The IP54 protection rating and the -20 °C – 50 °C operating range allow the scanner to be used on construction sites, quarries and in the field without an additional housing. The industrial aluminium housing withstands daily transport in a backpack between survey sites.

Applications

• Topographic surveying: a point cloud with an absolute accuracy of 3 cm allows digital terrain models to be created without ground control at each site.

• Engineering surveys: the real-time coloured point cloud shortens the time between field data collection and delivering results into project documentation.

• Inspection and maintenance: a repeatability accuracy of 2 cm allows comparison of an object's condition between periodic surveys.

• Construction: control of completed works on site is carried out without stopping the process for a separate post-processing stage.

• Agriculture and forestry: multi-SLAM maintains the coordinate reference under tree canopy, where satellite signal is weakened.

• Film and game production: the LixelUpSample™ algorithm generates a photorealistic coloured point cloud for subsequent use as a set reference.

How is this scanner better than devices requiring post-processing?

The L2 Pro delivers a finished coloured point cloud in real time, with quality matching post-processed results — a unique advantage of the "zero post-processing era". Thanks to the fusion of LiDAR, visual sensors and an IMU with AI, the operator gets the final result right in the field, without waiting for processing on a computer.

• The exclusive LixelUpSample™ algorithm increases point cloud density to 1 million points/m² with a 1 mm step

• A point cloud thickness of just 5 mm ensures precise rendering of lines and boundaries of objects

• Instant data quality verification directly on site saves the time of repeat site visits
