Description
Meridian Lite
Mobile Mapping System
Urban data capture is at your fingertips with 75MP imagery + LiDAR, optimized for city-speed collection and rapid delivery.
Capture today. Deliver tomorrow.

Meridian Lite: Power and Precision at the Right Price
Mosaic, the industry leader in ultra-high-resolution 360° imaging technology, is proud to add the Meridian Lite Mobile Mapping System to our lineup.
The 75MP panos from rolling shutter sensors reduce your costs and speed up post-processing.
Ideal for large-scale, city scanning. Capture survey-grade LiDAR data with high-resolution imagery, all in one, easy-to-use MLS system.

The Meridian Lite solves common mobile mapping challenges
The Meridian Lite offers a flexible solution for your mobile mapping needs: an intuitive, easy-to-use LiDAR system and ultra-high resolution 75MP panoramic imagery.
Address these pain points:
- Expensive Systems?
Create higher ROI and achieve professional-grade mapping at an affordable price with the Meridian Lite.
- Confusing Gear?
The Meridian Lite is easy to set up and with a user-friendly design. Get on the road quickly and gather data with a single operator.
- Inconsistent Quality?
The Meridian Lite’s seamless integration and calibration deliver stunning 12.3K 360° imagery and precise LiDAR data.
- Data Overkill?
With Mosaic, only capture what you need. Smaller datasets, faster processing, faster delivery.
With the Meridian Lite, Less is More
The Meridian Lite is a streamlined, entry-level MLS system. It is an affordable solution, especially for city-scale mapping projects, creating GIS databases, and executing large, challenging mapping projects.
- Rolling Shutter Lenses
If you don’t need RGB colorized point clouds, the Mosaic 51 camera lets you lower your system cost while still collecting high-resolution 360° imagery + LiDAR for urban asset workflows.
- Lightweight LiDAR
While others chase 3–5 million pts/sec and end up with too much data that slows processing, transfer, and storage without adding real value, Mosaic Meridian captures around 800,000 pts/sec with 3 returns—enough for robust automation and clear interpretation.
- Single Operator Needed
You don’t need advanced knowledge of GIS to operate the Meridian Lite. A single operator with minimal training can install the system on the roof, collect data, and monitor the process from the vehicle’s cab.
