From Navteq... NAVTEQ True utilizes a unique combination of technologies to create a 3D model of the real world. We combine rotating LIDAR, positioning sensors, panoramic cameras, and high res multi view cameras to capture real world dimension, fueling more realistic and interactive location experiences

NAVTEQ True leverages best-in-class technology in four key sensor systems:

• Positioning sensors, such as GPS and IMU, ensure that all data collected is accurately geo-referenced
• High-Resolution Multi-View Cameras capture detail that can be used by automatic processing software or by geographic analysts for manual processing
• Panoramic Cameras provide the ability to capture a 360-degree picture of a location for additional context and to support the production of street level imagery products
• 360-Degree LIDAR collects 1.3M 3D digital data points every second—creating new scale in what we collect – and richness in content collected

NAVTEQ True is comprised of best-in-class technologies in four sensor systems: Positioning, Panoramic Cameras, High-Resolution Cameras and Rotating LIDAR
