TerraVision

  • Overview
  • Benefits
  • Specifications

GSSI’s TerraVision™ is the most technically advanced GPR product on the market. This one-pass 3D system affords the fastest, most accurate data collection and target identification available.

TerraVision is a multi-antenna array system, with
14 antennas working simultaneously to gather data in real time. The power within this product lies in its ability to quickly and easily gather full 3D data in
six-foot paths. Results are then calculated in the field for immediate use.

Designed to collect several miles of data at a speed of five miles per hour, TerraVision delivers the full resolution of one scan per inch. At this resolution, even rebar mesh is detectable. As speed increases (up to 15mph), TerraVision automatically drops resolution and correctly smoothes the data to accommodate for scans that were not collected one inch apart.

Typical Uses of TerraVision include:

  • Large scale utility detection
  • Archaeology
  • High-speed airport runway inspection
  • Site assessments on a large scale
