OPTiM Launches Geo Scan Supreme for OPTiM Geo Scan Smartphone Survey App, Achieving Millimeter-Level Measurement Accuracy

Compliant with MLIT Guidelines for Pavement Construction Using 3D Measurement Technology

OPTiM Corporation (hereinafter OPTiM) announces the launch of Geo Scan Supreme in July 2025, a new feature for its smartphone surveying app OPTiM Geo Scan (hereinafter Geo Scan) that enables the acquisition of point cloud data with millimeter-level accuracy (hereinafter millimeter precision). Geo Scan Supreme complies with^※1 the pavement construction requirements specified in the Guidelines for Construction Management Using 3D Measurement Technology^※2 established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). This marks the world's first^※3 smartphone surveying app that enables anyone to easily acquire point cloud data with millimeter precision necessary for construction management.

■Background

In MLIT's i-Construction initiative, the use of ICT is expanding beyond earthwork to include pavement and structural construction projects that require high-precision surveying. However, at construction sites requiring millimeter-precision measurements for pavement and structural work, while terrestrial laser scanners and other expensive equipment have been used, their widespread adoption has been hindered by the following challenges:

Cost-related challenges:

• Requires substantial initial investment (tens of millions of yen)

Operational challenges:

• Requires specialized knowledge and skills
• Can only be operated by limited number of technical experts

Consequently, there has been a growing demand for a new solution that maintains high measurement accuracy while being cost-effective and easy to implement and operate, regardless of construction type or site scale.

■Overview of Geo Scan Supreme

Geo Scan Supreme enables anyone to easily acquire millimeter-precision point cloud data required for construction management using a smartphone. This solution addresses both cost and operational challenges that have hindered ICT adoption in the construction industry.

1. Cost Benefits: Significantly Reduces Initial Investment
   • Eliminates the need for expensive terrestrial laser scanners
   • Generated point cloud data is only several MB in size, eliminating the need for expensive specialized software and high-specification PCs
2. Operational Benefits: Enables High-Precision Surveying and Data Processing on Smartphone Without Specialized Technicians
   • Achieves intuitive and simple operation through smartphone app, allowing anyone without specialized knowledge to perform tasks traditionally requiring highly skilled technicians
   • Automatically recognizes Geo Scan Supreme dedicated targets within point clouds through the smartphone app, enabling automatic alignment and high-precision point cloud generation
   • Enables real-time verification of measurement results on-site through smartphone-based operation

■Measurement Accuracy and Application Areas of Geo Scan Supreme

Geo Scan Supreme has passed the accuracy verification tests for pavement construction as specified in the MLIT Guidelines for Construction Management Using 3D Measurement Technology, as detailed below. This enables its use in construction management of pavement works requiring millimeter-precision measurements.

■Evolution of Geo Scan

The smartphone surveying app Geo Scan was launched in May 2021 and has since contributed to ICT adoption in the construction industry as a professional surveying app offering high measurement accuracy and compliance with MLIT guidelines for earthwork construction management.
In May 2023, we introduced Geo Scan Advance, which extended the point cloud capture range to 35-50m, enabling measurements of elevated areas and wide spaces that were difficult to measure with smartphone LiDAR functionality alone. This accelerated ICT adoption across various sites, including large-scale terrain surveys and earthwork inspections. However, we received numerous requests from users for capabilities to handle millimeter-precision inspections of structures and pavements.
In response to these industry needs, we have developed Geo Scan Supreme, which achieves the millimeter-precision previously unattainable with conventional products, enabling expansion into areas requiring higher measurement accuracy, such as road pavement construction.
