Rock Mapper

iPad / Productivité

Rock Mapper is packed with powerful features:
- 3D LIDAR SCANNING: Generate photorealistic 3D models of rock faces & drives directly in the field using an iPad Pro.
- AUGMENTED REALITY*: Share & re-visit photorealistic LiDAR scans in Augmented Reality on any modern iOS device.
- PHOTOGRAPHY: Take rock face photographs with the iPad's built-in camera. Rock Mapper takes care of all settings.
- GEOREFERENCING: Register rock face photographs and 3D LiDAR scans using survey points or drive direction laser stations.
- MAPPING. Directly map onto rock face photographs & 3D LiDAR scans using fully customisable annotation layers.
- GRADE CONTROL: Record face samples & sampling domains by directly drawing onto the rock face photograph or 3D LiDAR scan.
- ROCK MASS ASSESSMENT: Access dedicated tools for Q System (after Barton et al 1974) and RMR (after Bieniawski 1989).
- REPORTING*: Auto-generated mapping reports, geotechnical reports & sampling reports saved as PDFs & ready to share.
- CLOUD SYNC*: All data immediately available in a ready-to-use format on the Rock Mapper Cloud.
- COMPATIBILITY: All data supplied in open, industry-standard formats that integrate seamlessly with 3D modelling platforms, including Vulcan, Micromine, Leapfrog, Deswik and Surpac.

*Only available with subscription

Our clients around the globe love the data consistency, data fidelity, ease of use and time savings enabled by Rock Mapper.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

- Larger 3D LiDAR scans: Capture twice the area in a single scan.
- Higher level of detail: Get twice the texture resolution for 3D LiDAR scans.
- Double-tap to set rotational point on 3D LiDAR scan (especially handy for larger scans).
- New dedicated tool for rock mass assessment using RMR89 (after Bieniawski 1989).
- Rock Mass Quality (Q System) and Rock Mass Rating (RMR89) tables added: Get a quick overview of rock mass quality and rating ranges.
- New About section in Settings: Quickly check app version, iOS version, iPad model, available storage and access our Knowledge Base.
- New text labels for 3D LiDAR scans: Better readability due to optimised text overlap and improved scaling behaviour.
- Major Upload / Download improvements: Improved upload preparation and info plus smart queuing for downloads including download counter.
- Magnetic compass improvements: Improved accuracy (in preparation for the digital geological compass feature coming in version 3.5).
- Relaxed formatting rules for Survey_Points.csv and Laser_Stations.csv: If text or numbers in CSVs are in quotation marks, then Rock Mapper will now handle them.
- Memory / storage handling improvements: Better managing large files (such as LiDAR scans) and allow user to manually clear cache by using Delete All button in Settings.
- Local Mode licence check improvements: Files can now be accessed and shared completely offline for up to 48 hours after the last connection to the Rock Mapper Cloud.
- Retain local settings: When opening third-party or external rock faces, any annotation layers that aren’t already configured in the settings will no longer be added automatically.
- Auto-expanding comment field for POIs: Easy input of long text for POIs.
- New, unified design and layout for processing screen: Cleaner UI, better UX :)
- Filled Area value for 3D LiDAR scan domains now included in Sampling Report PDF.
- AREA_PCT and AREA_PCT_FILLED values in [FaceID]_area.csv are now saved with four decimal places to prevent rounding issues when adding them up.
- Sampling data assigned to non-georeferenced LiDAR scans now included in rock face ZIP file (previously only available if scan was fully georeferenced).
- Improved Apple Pencil behaviour for LiDAR scans: Tapping outside the scan now allows the user to rotate it using the Apple Pencil.

Bugfixes
- Fixed 2-Point georeferencing issue when using imperial units.
- Fixed issue where metric units were reported in PDF reports even though rock faces were captured using imperial units.
- Fixed issue related to renaming rock faces.
- Fixed slow loading Survey Points tab.
- Fixed georeferencing indicator issue.
- Fixed shifted wall outlines (when using face photographs on devices with different resolution).

Happy Rock Mapping :)
