High-accuracy 3D measurement when and where others can’t go.
Subsea, nuclear, aerospace, civil engineering and wind tunnel sites — inaccessible, hazardous or simply too large for conventional metrology. DimEye delivers traceable 3D data with its proprietary Video Laser Scan™ and I-Photogrammetry™ technologies.
One measurement discipline. Multiple demanding environments.
Wherever access is limited, conditions are hostile and tolerances are tight.

Laser-scale accuracy from an HD video camera.
VLS™ combines video and laser data into a specialized high-accuracy 3D measurement system, built for the places where nobody can go and tripods, targets and total stations don’t fit.
Proof, in millimetres.
Thirty years of measuring the inaccessible.
DimEye (Dimensional Eye) develops the software and unique methodologies of close-range photogrammetry, uses off-the-shelf advanced hardware — and deploys them in person or teaches you how to deploy them. Every project gets the most accurate result possible with the most efficient method for that application.
Arnauld Dumont-Lunardelli is a Surveyor Expert Engineer with more than 30 years of experience in 3D measurement using Photogrammetry and Laser Technologies across various industries (Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Defense, Aerospace, Civil Engineering).
He managed 3D survey projects in the USA, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. He founded DimEye Corp in Los Angeles in 2009 to focus on applications for inaccessible environments.

Scale bars
Rigid bars carrying targets at a calibrated distance linked to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). Placed in the scene, they give the photogrammetric network its true scale and a check on accuracy.
Measurement tapes
Survey-grade tapes for quick control distances, site checks and independent verification of the 3D results.
Targets
Coded and uncoded targets that the software detects and measures automatically, with sub-pixel precision.
Calibration tool
On-site tool for Video Laser Scan™ calibration: relative positions and orientations of laser and camera.
- Rigid plate with coded and uncoded targets
- Dimensions: 500 mm × 400 mm
- Calibration certificate included (linked to NIST)

Lasers
The SS182 MKII DARK SABER with LED light, laser, and strobe is specifically designed for lighting applications on inspection systems and other operations where illumination and the ability to scale an image are required. This integrated subsea product enables the laser, LED light, and strobe to work in tandem, delivering crisp video images with remote control.
