Core Value Proposition
A cost-effective Visual Intelligence solution that transforms affordable sensor data (video, GPS, IMU) into actionable 3D/4D spatial intelligence through advanced SLAM and Gaussian splatting technologies—enabling organizations to digitize their physical assets without expensive LIDAR systems or pre-existing infrastructure.
Technology Architecture
Data Capture Layer
- Low-cost video cameras + GPS/IMU sensors
- Mobile collection platform (vehicle, backpack, or drone-mounted)
- Captures positional and visual data simultaneously
Processing Engine
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping): Solves the fundamental bootstrapping problem by:
- Building 3D maps from visual features while determining sensor position
- Enabling operation in GPS-denied environments (indoor, underground, urban canyons)
- Providing centimeter-level accuracy without external reference points
- 3D Gaussian Splatting: Converts multi-view imagery into:
- Real-time renderable 3D radiance fields
- Photorealistic scene reconstruction from novel viewpoints
- Temporal dimension capability for dynamic scene analysis
Output Deliverables
- Immersive 360° visual experiences
- Accurate 3D spatial models
- Time-series (4D) change detection
- Integration-ready formats for GIS, CAD, BIM platforms
Competitive Advantages
- Order-of-magnitude lower acquisition costs vs. traditional LIDAR-based Digital Twins
- GPS-independence enables coverage in challenging environments
- Real-time rendering via Gaussian splatting (vs. traditional photogrammetry workflows)
- Scalable deployment using consumer-grade hardware
- Rightshoring delivery model for cost-effective processing at scale
Target Applications
- Smart Cities: Infrastructure inventory, planning visualization
- Utilities: Asset inspection, network documentation in GPS-denied substations
- Transportation: HD mapping for autonomous systems, corridor monitoring
- Facilities Management: Indoor Digital Twins for large campuses, industrial sites
- Mining/Underground: Tunnel mapping, ventilation planning
Key Differentiator: While competitors require expensive LIDAR rigs, nfoldROI delivers comparable Digital Twin fidelity using affordable sensor packages, democratizing access to enterprise-grade spatial intelligence.
