Hardware

The Bratislava implementation testbed will compare a wide range of 3D sensing systems, from high-end terrestrial laser scanning to mobile mapping and low-cost prototype systems.

Sensor classes

Class	Examples	Benchmark role
Static TLS	RIEGL, Faro	High-detail reference and comparison
Handheld MLS	GeoSLAM, Leica BLK2Go, Faro Orbis, Stonex	Rapid pedestrian acquisition
Backpack MLS	HoverMap, LiBackpack-style systems	Larger-area mobile mapping
Vehicle MLS	RIEGL VMX-2HA	Street-scale acquisition
Low-cost prototypes	Livox, Hesai, Ouster, SICK-based systems	Scalable and experimental monitoring
Drone / airborne	DJI Mavic, ALS campaigns	Cross-scale comparison

For hardware providers

If you develop, operate, or represent a 3D sensing system and want to test it against real urban-tree management needs, please get in touch.

We are especially interested in systems that can produce useful tree-level outputs under realistic time, cost, and field constraints.
