Mosaic, the trailblazing force in terrestrial imaging and photogrammetry, announces a seismic shift in the geospatial and surveying industries with the launch of the Meridian Mobile Mapping System. This cutting-edge system represents Mosaic’s evolution from the industry’s leading camera manufacturer to a contender as a provider of a fully integrated and calibrated MMS. The grand reveal will occur at Geo Business, London’s premier event for surveying and geospatial professionals.
Where Meridian is Charting a New Course
In a field long dominated by behemoths like Trimble and Leica (of Hexagon), Mosaic’s Meridian emerges as a game-changer. These established giants offer powerful but prohibitively expensive and complex systems. With Meridian, users get a high-accuracy mobile mapping system that pairs the pioneering Mosaic X camera with a precision INS/Lidar device from Inertial Labs, the producers of high-performance orientation and navigation solutions. This blend promises to democratize the market, breaking new ground and making top-tier mapping accessible.
Users will experience 74MP native resolution or 13.5K resolution panoramas, from precisely synchronized cameras modules. The camera system’s unique design maximizes the pixels more efficiently than other cameras with smaller image overlaps, producing clearer and more consistent panoramas. The integrated INS system boasts system vertical accuracy of 2 – 3 cm and precision 2 – 4 cm.
The Meridian Advantage
Meridian spearheads the trifecta of industry challenges head-on:
- Integration: Unlike fragmented third-party systems, Meridian’s seamless out-of-the-box operations with fully integrated and calibrated systems.
- Usability: Designed for ease, Meridian requires mere minutes of training and removes the need for highly specialized technicians. Its rugged design guarantees performance in the harshest conditions.
- Cost: Meridian’s comprehensive solution is offered at a fraction of the price of competing systems, sans hidden fees for software subscriptions or data hosting.
“Since the day we announced the Mosaic X camera to the market in 2020, the response from the geospatial community for a comprehensive mobile mapping solution has been incredible, with many eagerly anticipating our expansion into this market sector,” said Founder and CEO of Mosaic, Jeffrey Martin.
“We’re thrilled to finally unveil Meridian and deliver on our goal of bringing advanced mapping technology to more professionals and redefining what they can expect from their mapping systems.”
Jamie Marraccini, CEO of Inertial Labs, also shares his insights:
“I am genuinely excited about our new partnership with Mosaic. This collaboration means a lot to us at Inertial Labs because it combines our cutting-edge navigation technology with Mosaic’s creative solutions, especially in the mapping field. Working closely with their team, I already see the incredible potential we have to transform how mapping and navigation are integrated and utilized in our industry. I can’t wait to see what we achieve together.”
