The Acuity AR1000 or AR2500 laser is appropriate for indoor or outdoor use and can be mounted to a vehicle. The laser can be configured to locate objects either vertically above or below the vehicle or horizontally away from the vehicle. The application can be used to map objects that provide vertical or horizontal obstructions. It can also be used to measure heights of object piles. The Acuity AP820 line laser can be used with the data capture application to build more precise 3D models of mapped objects
