Mobile mapping company, Vilnius, Lithuania
Mobile mapping services in Lithuania and the Baltics
AKYS is a Vilnius-based mobile mapping company. We mount a multisensor rig on a vehicle and record your streets while driving at traffic speed: 11K 360° street level imagery, dual high-density LiDAR, stereo depth and thermal, all hardware-synchronised and georeferenced to ±3 cm. One pass across Lithuania, the Baltics or the EU; no road closures, no tripods, no separate surveys to reconcile.
What mobile mapping is
Mobile mapping means capturing the built environment from a moving vehicle rather than from fixed survey positions. Instead of setting a scanner on a tripod, taking a reading, and moving it a few dozen metres down the road, the sensors travel with the car and a positioning system records where each measurement was taken. The output is a continuous, evenly dense georeferenced record of the whole route.
For a city, that difference is the difference between a survey and a basemap. Tens of kilometres of streets can be captured in a day, at traffic speed, without closing a single lane, which is what makes it realistic to map a district rather than an intersection, and to re-drive it next season to see what changed.
Tens of km per day
Capture happens at traffic speed. No road closures and no lane restrictions.
±3 cm georeferenced
RTK-GNSS with a 6-axis IMU. Every sensor stream hardware-synchronised.
Lithuania, Baltics, EU
Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and beyond. The rig drives to the project.
Automatic anonymisation
Faces and licence plates blurred by AI models before storage.
How a mobile mapping engagement runs
Every project follows the same four stages, from the first conversation to the moment your team opens the data in a browser.
Route planning
We agree the scope together: which streets, districts or corridors matter, and in what order. The route determines everything downstream, so it is settled before the vehicle moves.
Capture drive
The vehicle drives the agreed route at traffic speed. LiDAR, the 11K 360° camera, stereo, thermal and environmental sensors all record on one synchronised clock and one georeferenced trajectory.
Processing
Point clouds are built, faces and licence plates are automatically blurred for GDPR, and our custom AI models run automatic detection across the imagery.
Delivery
Point clouds, 11K panoramas, a browser-based digital twin and a coordinate-tagged asset inventory, from the same single drive.
What one pass captures
The rig is built so that a single drive answers geometry questions, visual questions and condition questions at once. The flagship sensor is an 11K Insta360 Titan; alongside it, dual LiDAR handles measurement while the AI models handle interpretation. Sensor-level detail lives on the LiDAR scanning and 360° Photography pages.

Why one multisensor pass beats separate surveys
The usual alternative is to procure the pieces separately: a LiDAR survey from one supplier, a photographic street survey from another, an asset inventory walked by hand from a third. That means three mobilisations, three capture dates and three coordinate frames that somebody has to reconcile afterwards. And by the time they are reconciled, the earliest dataset is already out of date.
AKYS records every layer in the same drive, on one clock and one trajectory. A pothole the AI flags in the 11K imagery is the same pothole, at the same coordinates, in the point cloud and in the digital twin. Nothing has to be aligned after the fact, because nothing was ever captured apart.
Automatic detection
Custom AI models flag road signs, potholes, cracks, faded or worn lane markings, poles, crosswalks, street lights and vegetation risk, each with GPS coordinates.
Lane defect audit
Lane detection recovers lane geometry along the route and grades marking condition, producing a road lane defect audit rather than a folder of photos.
Queryable, not just viewable
Semantic segmentation, motion tracking and 3D depth reconstruction turn the capture into something you can ask questions of.
Seasonal change tracking
Repeat drives in spring and autumn re-capture the same route, so change is measured against your own earlier data.
Frequently asked questions
What is mobile mapping?
Mobile mapping is the capture of streets and infrastructure from a moving vehicle. A rig of sensors (LiDAR, 360° cameras, stereo and thermal vision) is mounted on a car and records the surroundings while driving at traffic speed. RTK-GNSS and a 6-axis IMU log the exact position of every measurement, so the result is not a folder of photographs but a georeferenced 3D record of the route, accurate to ±3 cm.
Who provides mobile mapping services in Lithuania and the Baltics?
AKYS is a mobile mapping company based in Vilnius, Lithuania. We cover Lithuania (including Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda) as well as the wider Baltics and the European Union. Because the rig is vehicle-mounted, extending a project to another Baltic city is a matter of driving there, not of shipping a survey crew and tripods. Contact [email protected] or +37067772373.
How does a mobile mapping project run from start to delivery?
Four stages. First, route planning: we agree which streets, districts or corridors are in scope. Second, the capture drive: the vehicle drives the route at traffic speed, with every sensor hardware-synchronised and georeferenced. No road closures and no lane restrictions. Third, processing: point clouds are built, faces and licence plates are automatically blurred, and our custom AI models run detection over the imagery. Fourth, delivery: you receive the point clouds, the 11K 360° panoramas, the browser-based digital twin and the AI inventory.
What do I actually receive from a mobile mapping drive?
Four deliverables from the same pass: 3D point clouds in .las or .laz format for CAD, GIS and BIM; 11K 360° panoramas as street level imagery; a web-based digital twin you can explore in a browser; and an AI-generated asset inventory in GeoJSON or CSV, listing road signs, potholes, cracks, faded or worn lane markings, poles, crosswalks, street lights and vegetation risk, each with GPS coordinates.
Why is one multisensor mobile mapping pass better than separate surveys?
Commissioning a LiDAR survey, a photo survey and an asset inventory separately means three mobilisations, three dates and three coordinate frames that have to be reconciled afterwards. AKYS captures LiDAR, 11K 360° vision, stereo depth, thermal and environmental readings in the same drive, hardware-synchronised on one clock and one georeferenced trajectory. Every layer already lines up, so a detected pothole in the imagery is the same pothole in the point cloud.
