The PANORAMO SI 3D optoscanner manhole inspection system from RapidView IBAK North America uses two high-resolution digital cameras with distortion-free wide-angle lenses to scan the manhole interior in a single vertical run. Like its companion horizontal pipeline scanning system, it transmits digital image data to the inspection van, where it can be viewed live or saved for later viewing and assessment at the office. Unlike video from a pan-and-rotate camera that shows the section of the view saved at the time of filming, the system provides a 360-degree view of the manhole that can be panned and zoomed for analysis
