Madrid, March 2021
Hexagon's Geosystems division, a global leader of digital data capture, measurement and visualisation solutions, chose eProsima Fast DDS as the DDS middleware implementation for a recent prototyping project of a coastal laser mapping solution.
This project uses an airplane equipped with viewer consoles to display live data collected by a LiDAR bathymetric measuring unit. An archiver stores this live data to a point cloud database storage for post-processing. The live data submission rate from the point cloud publisher is about 2 MB/s, and in addition, a small amount of meta data is submitted at least once every 15 minutes.
The eProsima Fast DDS middleware assures the reliability of the real-time data transport. Furthermore, to accommodate Hexagon’s requirements, eProsima enhanced the Fast DDS’ persistence service to support data samples larger than 65 kB within this project's scope.
