ROCK R3 Pro V2 Accuracy Guide

How Accurate is the ROCK R3 Pro V2?

The ROCK R3 Pro V2 LiDAR system is designed to deliver high-precision results, especially for construction, surveying, and infrastructure projects where accuracy is crucial. In various real-world tests, the R3 Pro V2 has demonstrated outstanding performance, offering sub-centimeter accuracy. Let’s dive into the key factors that contribute to its accuracy and how it compares to traditional surveying methods.


Key Accuracy Metrics:

  • Vertical Accuracy: Achieved 0.34 cm mean accuracy in vertical measurements​  (Read: Accuracy Study)
  • Standard Deviation: Delivered a standard deviation of 0.49 cm when compared to 141 Total Station check shots​  (Read: Accuracy Study)
  • Point Density: Captures up to 1600 points per square foot, providing a highly detailed point cloud for analysis​  (Read: Accuracy Study)

Factors Contributing to R3 Pro V2 Accuracy:

  1. LiDAR Technology:

    • The R3 Pro V2 uses advanced LiDAR sensors that generate highly accurate 3D point clouds. This technology ensures that each captured point closely reflects real-world structures.
  2. Precise Ground Control Points (GCPs):

    • Ground control points are critical for aligning LiDAR data. By positioning base stations over known points, the R3 Pro V2 ensures that the LiDAR data is calibrated to real-world coordinates.
  3. ROCK Cloud Processing:

    • The data captured by the R3 Pro V2 is processed through the ROCK Cloud, which allows for precise post-processing, ensuring minimal deviations from the real measurements.

Accuracy Demonstration in Real-World Testing:

During a construction site test for a bridge inspection​(ROCK Robotic - R3 Pro A…), the R3 Pro V2 demonstrated its ability to deliver accuracy comparable to traditional methods like Total Station surveying:

  • Test Location: Pinn Rd Construction Site
  • Results:
    • 0.34 cm vertical accuracy (mean)
    • 0.49 cm standard deviation
    • Successful validation using 141 check shots from a Total Station, proving the system’s reliability.
