Photorealistic Color, True to the Space
The L3’s true-color vision system records color, tonal range, and material detail with photographic fidelity. In low light and high contrast, where capture usually suffers, the output stays clear and identifiable.
1/1.3" CMOS
4K HDR²
Accurate Structure, True Color
High-accuracy geometry and high-resolution imagery are fused, so the point cloud carries structure and color at the same fidelity. Site conditions read at a glance, target objects are easier to identify, and measurement, modeling, and client review all work from the same data.
Highlights and Shadows, Equally Resolved
4K HDR imaging² retains detail at both ends of the exposure range, so bright surfaces do not blow out and shadowed areas do not disappear. Tonal transitions stay natural across the scene.
Low Light, Still Legible
In low-light environments, the L3 produces point clouds with less noise and color shift. Less grain, fewer false colors, and a cleaner cloud going into processing.
Key Areas, Enhanced on Demand
Select specific areas for targeted enhancement, so critical zones keep more spatial detail while reconstruction time and file size stay under control.
Color and Detail, Carried Through Every Deliverable
A single capture produces a high-accuracy true-color point cloud, a detailed mesh, and a photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting model from the same source data. Precise geometry, clean texture, and immersive realism each serve a different downstream job, so one field session empowers visualization, professional measurement, and digital twin work.
3D Gaussian Splatting
Built on XGRIDS’ upgraded Lixel CyberColor (LCC) technology, which carries real color, tonal range, and fine spatial detail into a photorealistic 3DGS model — for digital twins, previs, and virtual production that need to feel like the location.
True-Color Point Cloud
Accurate geometry with natural site color, so professional data is easier to read and faster to work with.
Complete Data, Whatever the Conditions
Across long continuous captures and through GNSS obstruction and weak texture, the L3 combines integrated RTK and multi-modal perception to keep modeling stable. Less drift, less layering, usable data from one site visit.
Urban Canyons
In dense built environments where satellite signal is blocked or reflected, the L3 keeps refining trajectory and positioning so large captures stay continuous, producing data with no misalignment, no layered floors, and an absolute accuracy of 5 cm.
Featureless and Repetitive Spaces
Where visual texture is thin, geometric features are missing, or structures repeat, positioning and mapping tend to accumulate error. L3’s stable SLAM algorithm keeps the point cloud continuous and the structure consistent, making underground and linear scenes easier to capture reliably.
Waterside Sites
Reflective water surfaces interfere with spatial solution. The L3 keeps refining the solution so bridge structures, shorelines, and surrounding geometry come through coherently, reducing data gaps and return visits on waterside projects.
Usable Point Clouds the Moment You Stop Scanning
Built on real-time Multi-SLAM processing, the 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 the moment you stop.

Real-Time Vision-Aided Localization for Stable, Coherent Large Scenes
Real-time vision-aided localization and leveling optimization continuously correct capture trajectory and attitude, so large-scene point clouds stay level and structurally continuous. Drift and layering are minimized, reducing the cost of releveling, registering, and rescanning afterward.

Real-Time Filtering for a Clean Cloud Straight Out
AI identifies and filters people, vehicles, and environmental noise as you scan, cutting the smearing, ghosting, and redundant data that moving objects leave behind. The exported cloud needs less manual cleanup and reaches measurement, modeling, and delivery sooner.
Field Work, Made Steady
The L3 smooths out each step during the workday: on-screen guidance and hardware built for long days in the field, then flexible fusion and privacy handling in LixelStudio.
Flexible, Efficient Processing
In processing, 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. Faces, license plates, and other sensitive information are handled automatically, so data moves from consolidation through reconstruction to delivery on terms the project can actually accept.
Control-Point-Free Map Fusion
Match by region selection in LixelStudio without laying control points in advance. Sessions fuse flexibly, with less time spent on registration.
Automatic Privacy Protection
Faces and license plates in the output are detected and blurred automatically, so results can be shared internally and delivered externally with less exposure.
From Spatial Data to Industry Output
Open SDKs, plugins, and Creator data connect L3 deliverables to the workflows teams already run. Field capture turns into dependable working output faster.
AEC and BIM
Feed the BIM workflow with reliable data for scan-to-BIM, building renovation, and as-built records.
Film Production
3DGS data reaches Unreal Engine through the LCC Plugin for UE, bringing real locations into the digital creation space.
Digital Twin
Build a true, legible digital base layer for campuses, plants, and large facilities, so spatial data serves remote collaboration, facility management, and digital twin applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Lixel L3 is built 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 high-accuracy true-color point cloud, a mesh, and a high-fidelity 3D Gaussian Splatting model, which also covers applications with demanding visual requirements such as digital twins and virtual production.
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, approximately 1σ.
Actual accuracy varies with site geometry, scan path, and environmental conditions. The full test method and dataset are in the Accuracy Verification White Paper.
Choose the Lixel L3 for projects that demand high accuracy, large-area capture, and stability in complex environments. It delivers 5 mm relative accuracy¹ and 2 cm absolute accuracy⁴, with further gains in true-color imaging, leveling, real-time point cloud quality, and stability in difficult scenes. Great for surveying, architecture, and industrial facility work.
Choose the Lixel K2 for projects that prioritize portability and ease of use. It is light to carry and quick to learn, which fits work that involves frequent repositioning and fast capture. A single pass outputs point cloud, mesh, and 3DGS, covering small- to medium-scale surveying, real estate, film and television, and cultural heritage.
The Lixel L3 is optimized for long continuous captures and challenging capture conditions. 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 for low-feature scenes, further improving reconstruction stability and completeness.
