Technical Specification
CHCNAV RS10 16 line and 32 line
Handheld SLAM 3D Laser Scanner + GNSS RTK
CHCNAV RS10 — survey indoors and out, with loop-free scanning when GNSS is available and flexible, project-ready georeferencing.
The RS10 fuses high-precision GNSS RTK, laser SLAM, and visual SLAM in a single 1.9 kg handheld. Walk through tunnels, forests, building interiors, and power-line corridors and capture georeferenced point clouds in real time — with 5 cm absolute accuracy and better than 1 cm relative accuracy, even where satellites can't reach.
Deeply Integrated RTK + SLAM
One device replaces the tripod, the base station, and the loop walk.
RS10 is built for surveyors, civil and BIM professionals, and teams working in forestry, power-line inspection, stockpile measurement, and underground spaces. RTK positioning continuously calibrates the SLAM trajectory in real time, so you scan in a straight, loop-free path and still get survey-grade, georeferenced results — no return visits, and no mandatory ground control points (though GCPs are still recommended for QA/QC).

Why it stands out
Built to solve the pain points of traditional handheld scanners.
- Stable accuracy — RTK serves as the real-time benchmark for SLAM, so drift is corrected as you walk instead of after the fact.
- Loop-free with GNSS — when RTK or PPK is available, no loop closures are needed: a typical 3 km loop drops to roughly 1.8 km of walking, about 40% more efficient. (SLAM-only projects without GNSS still close loops as usual.)
- Simple office work — copy finished point clouds straight from the device; real-time SLAM solving means no mandatory secondary post-processing.
- Flexible georeferencing — choose any coordinate system at processing time and apply geoid files, so results land in your project datum and elevation reference.
Key advantages
Everything the RS10 brings to the field
Real-time georeferenced SLAM
View live point clouds in the field and cover up to 13,000 m² in one uninterrupted session — no loop closures, no post-processed georeferencing.
High-performance LiDAR & IMU
320,000 pts/sec across a 360°×270° field of view on the 16-line model, paired with a 200 Hz IMU for stable trajectory tracking.
SFix for GNSS gaps
When satellites drop out, SFix combines LiDAR ranging with SLAM angular constraints to deliver 5 cm accuracy within one minute — the last 100 m, solved.
Contactless Vi-LiDAR
Target points like a total station: pick a point in the live image and get its 3D coordinate to 5 cm accuracy within 15 m — no physical contact, no prism.
Field-ready & hot-swappable
Under 2 kg, IP64-rated, with ~1 hour per battery and internal super-capacitors for hot-swapping mid-scan without losing position.
Innovative SFix Technology
Precise surveying, even with no GNSS signal.
Bridges, building interiors, dense canopy, underground corridors — the places RTK alone can't measure. SFix fuses laser ranging information with SLAM angle constraints to compute accurate RTK point coordinates where satellites fail.
The new "SFix" fixed solution ensures 5 cm precision within 1 minute without satellite signals, finally solving the last-100-metre problem of conventional RTK.
Loop-free workflow, real-time alerts
Walk it once. Know your accuracy as you go.
Because RTK calibrates SLAM pose in real time, you don't need to close loops back to your start when GNSS is available. A 3 km traditional loop becomes about 1.8 km — roughly 40% more efficient, with no rework. (In SLAM-only work with no GNSS, loop closures are still recommended to control drift.)
The built-in SQC accuracy assessment algorithm flags quality live on the tablet so you never walk away with bad data:
- Green — better than 5 cm
- Yellow — better than 10 cm
- Red — greater than 10 cm
Real-time SLAM processing
Onboard computing power for real-time SLAM, no waiting.
The RS10's embedded processor (rated at 1.2 T of data computing power) runs real-time SLAM calculation and point-cloud browsing on the device itself — uninterrupted across areas up to 13,000 m².
Copy finished point-cloud results straight from RS10 memory through Type-C. For higher refinement, bring data into CoPre for secondary optimization down to 2 cm point-cloud thickness and better than 1 cm relative accuracy.
Flexible coordinate handling
Your coordinate system, your datum, your geoid.
Capture outdoors with RTK — CORS or a single base station — and the SLAM trajectory carries that same reference seamlessly indoors, from the street to the basement.
At processing time you can output to any coordinate system and apply geoid files, so the point cloud lands in your project's datum and elevation reference. Prefer not to log into CORS? You can still obtain absolute coordinates through PPK post-processing or trajectory control-point optimization in CoPre.

FAQ
RS10 questions, answered
What's the difference between the 16-line and 32-line RS10?
Both share the same RTK, cameras, IMU and 5 cm absolute accuracy. The 16-line model (XT16) ranges 0.05–120 m at 320,000 pts/sec with 2 cm point-cloud thickness and weighs 1.9 kg. The 32-line model (XT32M2X) ranges 0.5–300 m at 640,000 pts/sec with 1 cm thickness and weighs 1.7 kg — better for long-range and high-density work.
How does the RS10 work without a GNSS signal?
It depends whether you're scanning or taking individual point measurements. When scanning, you select the capture scene that matches the environment — indoor/outdoor fusion, indoor, outdoor, open area, or tunnel — and the laser and visual SLAM engine carries the positioning, while RTK continuously calibrates the trajectory wherever signal is available. The trajectory stays in one continuous reference frame, so everything stays georeferenced as you move from open sky into a tunnel or basement. For individual RTK point measurements (rover mode), CHCNAV's SFix technology fuses LiDAR ranging with SLAM angular constraints to reach a fixed solution with 5 cm accuracy within one minute — solving the "last 100 m" where RTK alone can't fix.
Do I still need to walk loops or place ground control points?
When you're using GNSS (RTK or PPK), you don't need to walk loops — RTK calibrates the SLAM pose in real time, so loop-free path planning works and a 3 km traditional loop becomes roughly 1.8 km. PPK is a valid alternative to RTK in the field; the spec sheet actually rates PPK higher (H: 3 mm + 1 ppm / V: 5 mm + 1 ppm). In SLAM-only work with no GNSS, loop closures are still recommended to control drift.
Ground control points aren't mandatory for an RTK/PPK workflow, but they're recommended for QA/QC and to further improve georeferencing and accuracy. Use a minimum of 4 points, imported into CoPre and matched to the trajectory control points you collected in the field. They can supplement an RTK/PPK workflow, or — for SLAM-only projects — provide the georeferencing itself, either relatively or to absolute coordinates. At processing you can output to any coordinate system and apply geoid files to match your project datum.
What is Vi-LiDAR contactless measurement?
Vi-LiDAR lets the RS10 target points like a total station. You collect image data of the scene, tap the point of interest in the LandStar image, and the system calculates its 3D coordinate from the intersection of the RTK survey ray and the LiDAR point cloud — accurate to 5 cm within 15 m, with no physical contact and no prism.
Can the RS10 be used as a regular RTK rover?
Yes. The RS10 holder is removable for RTK rover mode, and it runs in CHCNAV LandStar 8 for topographic survey, point and line stakeout, elevation check and facade survey — the same workflow existing CHC RTK users already know, with minimal additional training.
How long does a battery last, and can I swap it mid-scan?
About one hour per battery. Internal super-capacitors support hot-swapping: when you remove the battery during collection, a 60-second replacement window appears on the tablet. Complete the swap within 60 seconds while keeping the device's position and orientation steady, and the scan continues uninterrupted.
Do I have to post-process the data?
Not necessarily. The RS10 runs real-time SLAM solving on board (its embedded processor is rated at 1.2 T of data computing power) so you can copy finished point clouds straight from device memory over Type-C. For maximum refinement — 2 cm point-cloud thickness and better than 1 cm relative accuracy — bring the data into CoPre for secondary optimization.
What software is included, and is there a subscription?
The RS10 works with SmartGo (capture & control), LandStar 8 (RTK field survey), CoPre (point-cloud processing) and CoProcess (feature extraction). The package ships with a permanent SLAM license and CoPre — contact Latnet for the current configuration and any optional modules.
