Topcon Positioning Systems and GreenValley International (GVI) have announced a strategic agreement to jointly develop technologies for surveying, mapping, construction and other spatial intelligence applications.
The companies plan to create integrated hardware and software solutions for handheld, aerial and mobile LiDAR data collection and processing. Additional development efforts will focus on robotic systems, autonomous monitoring solutions and real-time cloud-based data processing and transfer.
The agreement was announced at the Esri User Conference in San Diego, California.
“Collaborating with GreenValley allows us to combine the strengths of both organizations and deliver simpler, more efficient workflows to more professionals,” said Ron Oberlander, head of the Topcon Geomatics and Construction Platforms. “By advancing joint research and integrating emerging AI technologies into spatial solutions, we aim to help users collect, process and apply data more effectively, even in remote and challenging environments.”
The companies said the collaboration will also target AI-enhanced point cloud processing capabilities, including automated feature extraction and classification, multi-sensor integration and workflow automation.
“This alliance unites GVI’s spatial intelligence expertise with Topcon’s precise positioning technologies to deliver next-generation solutions for the global geospatial community,” said Cody McColl, North American operations manager with GreenValley International. “Together, we are focused on developing AI-enhanced point cloud processing, including automated feature extraction and classification, multi-sensor integration and intelligent workflow automation to help users collect, process and maximize the value of geospatial data.”
According to the companies, the joint effort is intended to improve the way professionals collect, process and use geospatial information in construction, infrastructure, forestry and other industries that rely on high-precision 3D data.
