Handheld Slam Scanner

Tersus MVP S1

The S1’s Hardware is the Canvas
The Algorithm is the Art.

The Tersus S1 is built for organizations that need reliable SLAM technology they can trust, everywhere, every day, and across every team. Designed to deliver consistent, repeatable results in real-world conditions, the S1 empowers more people to capture high-quality 3D data without slowing down projects or relying solely on specialized crews.

At its core the S1 has a robust and refined SLAM algorithm focused on stability, residual control, and clean geometry, even in complex or visually challenging environments. The AI-driven RTK-SLAM Algorithm fuses LiDAR, vision, and GNSS data to produce photorealistic, well-aligned point clouds that support everything from rapid site documentation to advanced visualization and digital twin workflows.

Precision 3D Capture in the Palm of Your Hand

By reducing rework, and repeat site visits, the S1 helps teams move faster with greater confidence, turning 3D capture into a practical, everyday tool, all in the palm of your hand.

Intelligent Algorithms, Reliable Results

Tersus S1 sets itself apart from other manufacturers by using a fully proprietary, AI-powered SLAM engine, providing clean and precise data where open-source solutions fall short.

Density and Smoothing

The algorithms are tuned to preserve small features while managing noise, while not chasing cosmetic smoothness at the cost of true precision.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)

Equipped with dual 48 MP cameras, the MVP S1 captures stunning textures. Supported by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technology, it generates not just point clouds, but photorealistic 3D models for immersive visualization.

Real-Time Feedback

Preview colorized point clouds in real-time on your mobile device during collection. Generate scan reports instantly to verify data quality and ensure you have what you need before leaving the site.

Moving Object Filtering

The S1’s AI-powered algorithm automatically identifies and filters out moving vehicles, pedestrians, and other transient objects, producing a clean, static representation of urban environments for accurate mapping and analysis.

Consistency Across Every Step

The Tersus S1 is designed to maintain stable SLAM performance across long paths and mixed indoor/outdoor environments. Its AI-powered RTK SLAM and multi-sensor fusion help reduce drift and preserve alignment through transitions such as buildings to open areas, corridors to stairwells, and extended linear routes. Seamless resume scanning allows capture to pause and continue without breaking data continuity, supporting efficient mapping of large or complex sites with consistent, reliable results.

Better Data. Less Time.

Stage 1:

Field Capture

In the Field:
Real-time preview and quality checks prevent errors before you leave the site. The “Resume Scan” feature handles interruptions with ease.

Stage 2:

One Click Office Processing

In the Office:
One-click processing, optimization, and colorization in our intuitive desktop software.

Stage 3:

Delivery

For Your Clients:
Export to multiple industry-standard formats (JPG, LAS, RCP, PLY, etc.) that fit directly into your existing workflow.

Where the Tersus S1 Excels

Complex Sites & Confined Spaces

Efficient walk-and-scan capture for stairs, corridors, multi-level interiors, and irregular spaces, with real-time feedback to identify gaps or shadowed areas before leaving the site.

Rapid documentation of intersections, corridors, and ADA compliance areas, minimizing time in active traffic and reducing reliance on tripod-based terrestrial scanning. Mapping both above ground and below ground tunnels, utility corridors, mines and more.

Walk-and-scan collection in dense stands for tree inventory, DBH analysis, forest structure assessment, and carbon verification workflows, supporting digital forest twins and planning efforts.

Fast indoor capture for BIM, GIS, and CAD, enabling building documentation, indoor navigation, and facility management across utilities, mechanical rooms, and infrastructure assets. The dual-camera system creates true-color point clouds, making species identification and environmental analysis faster and easier.

High-resolution visual data supports clear point clouds, photorealistic deliverables, and advanced visualization workflows, including Gaussian Splatting, helping teams communicate conditions, track progress, and reduce return visits.
Calculate stockpiles instantly and accurately. Replace tedious manual measurements with rapid mobile scanning. Quickly generate accurate 3D models of stockpiles, excavations, and earthworks for precise volume calculations and inventory management.
