In 2007, while completing his PhD in computer vision and automated road environment analysis, Jérôme Ninot envisioned a new generation of mobile mapping technologies. His goal wasn't simply to build another LiDAR system, it was to combine advanced algorithms, intelligent software, and engineering expertise to make reality capture faster, more accurate, and more accessible for survey professionals. From those early research projects, VIAMETRIS has grown into an international technology company designing both hardware and proprietary software. Today, that same vision continues to drive every innovation we develop: survey-grade accuracy, complete data ownership, and solutions built around the real needs of surveyors.
