Lixel L3 Specs

01Accuracy

A New Accuracy Benchmark for SLAM

The Lixel L3 is tested by documented methods and verified against measured ground truth. Critical dimensions survive a check and walls come out true. That makes the point cloud a reliable measurement source in surveying and engineering work, not just a picture of the site.

Relative accuracy
5 mm
Absolute accuracy
2 cm
Leveling (with RTK fusion)
0.005°
Point cloud thickness
≤5 mm

Relative accuracy is measured in a designated indoor test environment of approximately 500 m², using a post-processed point cloud captured without ground control points, by comparing distances measured in the point cloud against reference distances established with a total station (P68, ≈1σ). Actual accuracy varies with site geometry, scan path, and environmental conditions.

02True Color

Photorealistic Color, True to the Space

The true-color vision system records color, tonal range, and material detail with photographic fidelity. In low light and high contrast, the output stays clear and identifiable.

  • Accurate Structure, True ColorHigh-accuracy geometry and high-resolution imagery are fused, so measurement, modeling, and client review all work from the same data.
  • Highlights and Shadows, Equally Resolved4K HDR imaging retains detail at both ends of the exposure range, so bright surfaces do not blow out and shadowed areas do not disappear.
  • Low Light, Still LegibleWith less noise and color shift, a cleaner point cloud goes into processing.
  • Key Areas, Enhanced on DemandSelect specific areas for targeted enhancement, so those areas keep more spatial detail while reconstruction time and file size stay under control.

03Challenging Conditions

Complete Data, Whatever the Conditions

Across long continuous captures and through GNSS obstruction and weak texture, the Lixel L3 combines integrated RTK and multi-modal perception to keep modeling stable. Less drift, less layering, usable data from one site visit.

  • Urban CanyonsIn dense built environments where satellite signal is blocked or reflected, positioning is continuously refined, producing data with no misalignment, no layered floors, and an absolute accuracy of 5 cm.
  • Tunnels and GalleriesIn tunnels and galleries where visual texture is thin, geometric features are missing, or structures repeat, the stable SLAM algorithm keeps the point cloud continuous and the structure consistent.
  • Waterside SitesDespite reflective water surfaces, bridge structures, shorelines, and surrounding geometry come through coherently, reducing data gaps and return visits.

04Real-time

Usable Point Clouds the Moment You Stop Scanning

Built on real-time Multi-SLAM processing, the Lixel L3 generates a high-quality true-color point cloud as you scan. Real-time vision-aided localization and dynamic object filtering keep the structure coherent and the data clean, ready for on-site measurement and project review without returning to the office.

  • Vision-Aided LocalizationCapture trajectory and attitude are continuously corrected, so large-scene point clouds stay level and structurally continuous.
  • Real-Time AI FilteringPeople, vehicles, and environmental noise are filtered as you scan; the exported cloud needs less manual cleanup.
  • Real-time coordinate conversionReal-time coordinates in WGS84 and CGCS2000.

05Real-Time Filtering

A Clean Point Cloud the Moment Scanning Ends

The Lixel L3 uses AI to identify and filter people, vehicles, and environmental noise out of the point cloud as you scan, cutting the smearing, ghosting, and redundant data that moving objects leave behind. Moving-object removal and noise filtering run on the device in real time and, together with leveling optimization, improve the continuity, level consistency, and cleanliness of the direct output. The cloud exported the moment the scan ends needs less manual cleanup, and reaches measurement, modeling, and delivery sooner.

06Data Processing

Flexible Processing for Every Project

LixelStudio gives each project more than one route: multi-session captures can be constrained by control points, or matched and fused by region selection with no control points at all.

  • Control-Point-Free Map FusionMatch by region selection in LixelStudio without laying control points in advance. Sessions fuse flexibly, with less time spent on registration.
  • Automatic Privacy ProtectionFaces and license plates in the output are detected and blurred automatically, so results can be shared internally and delivered externally with less exposure.
  • PPK, Volume, and AdjustmentPPK post-processing, stockpile volume calculation and comparison, multi-session fusion and adjustment in a single software.

One Scan, Three Deliverables

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projects is the Lixel L3 built for?

For professional projects that need mobile capture efficiency and high-accuracy 3D deliverables at the same time: building surveys, scan-to-BIM, renovation and extension surveys, as-built surveys, combined indoor–outdoor surveys, tunnels and utility corridors, industrial facility documentation, asset and equipment inventory, and campus and urban block mapping.

A single capture produces a true-color point cloud, a mesh, and a high-fidelity 3DGS model, which also covers applications with demanding visual requirements such as digital twins and virtual production.

What does 5 mm relative accuracy actually mean?

The Lixel L3 achieves a verified 5 mm post-processed relative accuracy. The figure is measured in a designated indoor test environment of approximately 500 m², using a post-processed point cloud captured without ground control points, by comparing distances measured in the point cloud against reference distances established with a total station. Results are reported at P68 (≈1σ).

Actual accuracy varies with site geometry, scan path, and environmental conditions.

Lixel L3 or Lixel K2?

Choose the Lixel L3 for projects that demand high accuracy, large-area capture, and stability in complex environments. It delivers 5 mm relative accuracy and 2 cm absolute accuracy, with further gains in true-color imaging, leveling, real-time point cloud quality, and stability in difficult scenes. It is the right choice for surveying, architecture, and industrial facility projects.

Choose the Lixel K2 for projects that prioritize portability and ease of use. It is light to carry and quick to learn, which fits small- to medium-scale surveying, real estate, film, and cultural heritage work that involves frequent repositioning and fast capture. The Lixel K2 also outputs point cloud, mesh, and 3DGS in a single pass.

How does it perform in complex environments?

The Lixel L3 is optimized for long continuous captures. LiDAR SLAM combined with multi-sensor fusion and leveling optimization reduces accumulated drift over long scans and lowers the risk of point cloud misalignment and layering.

The 1/1.3" CMOS and HDR improve imaging in low light and high-contrast environments. For weak-feature environments such as tunnels and utility corridors, LixelStudio adds stable mapping, further improving reconstruction stability and completeness.

Does it produce usable point clouds in real time?

Yes. The Lixel L3 outputs a usable point cloud during capture, ready to export and measure the moment the scan ends. Leveling optimization, moving-object removal, and noise filtering improve the continuity and cleanliness of the direct output.

Real-time output reaches 1 cm relative accuracy, and 2.5 cm absolute accuracy in both horizontal and vertical, stated as RMSE. Projects that require 5 mm relative accuracy can use the post-processed point cloud.

Does it need to be connected to a phone?

No. The Lixel L3 has a 4.3" high-brightness display and runs the scan independently, with no phone connection required. Point cloud, scan trajectory, and coverage are visible in real time, so missed areas are caught on site and return visits are reduced.

How does it fit into my existing workflow?

Point clouds support measurement, drawing extraction, CAD drafting, and scan-to-BIM. LCC 3D Gaussian Splatting output extends to platforms including Unreal Engine and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. The same dataset feeds workflows from measurement to digital twin and virtual production.
