ROCK SLAM
Centimeter-Accurate 3D Mapping.
No GPS Required.
Create professional-grade 3D point clouds with 1-2cm relative accuracy in any environment. Indoor spaces, dense forests, urban canyons—ROCK SLAM maps where satellites can\'t reach.
Powered by our R3 series LiDAR scanners and proprietary SLAM algorithm. Add ground control points in ROCK Desktop for absolute accuracy.
Professional 3D Reality Capture Without Limits
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology builds accurate 3D maps while tracking position—no GPS satellites needed.
1-2cm Relative Accuracy
Professional-grade point clouds with centimeter-level precision. Perfect for as-built documentation, BIM verification, and engineering surveys.
GCP & GPS Integration
Add ground control points in ROCK Desktop to achieve absolute accuracy. Optional GPS receiver enables automatic georeferencing when outdoors.
Complete Data Fusion
Merge SLAM data with aerial LiDAR seamlessly in ROCK Cloud. Create unified models combining indoor, outdoor, and aerial perspectives.
Works with Your Existing R3 Hardware
Transform your ROCK R3 or R3 Pro aerial LiDAR into a powerful SLAM scanner. Same sensor, same software workflow—just add a SLAM DOCK for handheld or mobile mapping.
Where ROCK SLAM Excels
Map complex environments with confidence. SLAM technology thrives where traditional methods struggle.
Indoor Mapping
Complete building interiors, warehouses, factories—capture every detail for as-builts and BIM.
Under Canopy
Dense forest floors, tree trunks, understory—map what aerial LiDAR misses.
Industrial Sites
Complex piping, machinery, confined spaces—document assets with centimeter precision.
Emergency Response
Crime scenes, disaster areas, hazardous zones—rapid 3D documentation for safety.
Understanding SLAM Technology
SLAM stands for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping—a breakthrough technology that creates maps while tracking position in real-time
LiDAR Sensor
Continuously emits laser pulses to measure distances and build 3D point clouds
IMU Tracking
High-frequency IMU tracks rotation, acceleration, and orientation continuously
SLAM Algorithm
Matches geometric features to correct drift and optimize the entire trajectory
Loop Closure: The Secret to Centimeter Accuracy
When you return to a previously scanned area, our algorithm recognizes the unique geometric signature and uses this "loop" to perform global optimization, distributing and correcting any accumulated error across the entire trajectory.
Result: 1-2cm relative accuracy throughout your entire scan
Complete Your Reality Capture Workflow
ROCK SLAM fills the gaps that aerial LiDAR leaves behind, creating a complete 3D model of your project.
Aerial LiDAR Captures

Field Operations Best Practices
Initialization
Hold still for 30 seconds aimed at a geometrically complex scene
Movement
Walk at a consistent, slow pace (~1 m/s) with smooth, deliberate turns
Loop Closures
Return to previously scanned areas every 60-120 meters to combat drift
Feature Awareness
In empty hallways, walk in zig-zag patterns to provide geometric variety
Pro Tip: Plan Your Route
Before starting, walk the intended path. Ensure all doors are open and the route is clear of obstacles to maintain continuous, uninterrupted scanning.
