ISP SurveyScan Example capability

LiDAR walk-through to 2D CAD, 3D mesh, and mission exports.

ISP SurveyScan helps military and government survey teams capture interior facilities without existing blueprints. A trained operator uses a COTS LiDAR iPhone or iPad to walk the building, label rooms, photograph building systems, and plan routes — then exports metric floor plans and mission-ready files through Field Viewers ingest and a secure cloud portal.

Surveyor-in-the-loop automation — not unmanned entry into secured facilities.

The problem

  • Traditional ISP-style surveys often need large teams on site for weeks, plus weeks of post-mission processing.
  • Sites may have no prior CAD, degraded communications, and strict data-rights requirements.
  • Teams need 2D plans, 3D context, labeled compartments, building-system documentation, and routing in formats they already use.

What it does

Interior capture through export — built for government survey workflows.

LiDAR capture

RoomPlan-based interior geometry; multi-room, multi-story; works offline.

2D CAD export

GeoJSON and DXF floor plans with ISP-relevant layers.

3D mesh

USDZ deliverable for review and downstream tools.

Rooms

Photograph and label every compartment in a structured checklist.

Auto-label & extract (AI assist)

Vision classifies furnishings and building-system photos; confirmed labels flow into DXF/GeoJSON. Surveyor confirms every category. Not fully autonomous.

Building systems

Photograph panels, HVAC, and equipment; Vision-assisted category hints with operator confirmation before export.

Turn-by-turn routing

Interior routes on the scanned plan; TAK-compatible route JSON and GeoJSON.

Government cloud portal

Search by site; one view for metadata, map pin, 2D plan, 3D model, and download links (for authorized users).

ISP SurveyScan uses on-device Apple Vision to auto-label furnishings (chairs, tables, beds, appliances) from room photographs and anchor them on the metric floor plan. For building systems, Vision extracts category hints from panel and HVAC photos; the operator confirms before export. Ingest automates CAD layer generation from LiDAR geometry—reducing manual blueprint tracing while keeping the surveyor in the loop.

  4. Review & export Team downloads packages from the portal or local ingest.

Technical notes
  • Readiness: Fielded iOS app + ingest; interior capture TRL 6–7 class; export pipeline TRL 7 class (internal assessment).
  • Operators: Government or military surveyors after fielding — Field Viewers provides kit, training, and sustainment under contract.
  • Hardware: COTS Apple LiDAR devices; US procurement; UAV not used in this solution.
  • Data rights: Government purpose rights to survey deliverables; Field Viewers retains application IP (standard federal framing — legal review for contracts).
