Rothbucher KS2 Laser Scanner Target Suitcase Kit for LiDAR, SLAM & 3D Scene Mapping

Select the Target Option for Your Kit

This Rothbucher KS2 suitcase kit is sold with different laser scanner target options. Each kit includes four targets of the selected type, so the buyer must choose the correct target version before ordering.

The core suitcase accessories remain consistent across the kit family, but the included scanner targets differ by printing layout, target face, offset, and suitability for different scanner workflows.

Available Kit Variants

Target Option Comparison

The right target depends on the equipment your agency uses and how the target will be seen during the scan. For many law enforcement users, the decision comes down to whether the target needs to be visible from one side, both sides, or across a mixed scanner environment.

RSL420M / RSL422M

These are the classic black-and-white Rothbucher laser scanner targets. The RSL420M is printed on one side with offset 0, while the RSL422M is printed on both sides with offset +1.5 mm.

Recommendation: For most law enforcement users, the RSL422M is the safer general-purpose choice because the target can be viewed from both sides, which is helpful during crash scenes, intersections, rooms, hallways, and multi-position scans.

RSL462M

The RSL462M uses offset +2 mm and is intended for customers using a variety of different scanners. Its front/back target configuration gives operators another option when working across mixed scanner or LiDAR workflows.

Recommendation: Consider the RSL462M if your team uses more than one scanner type, works with different software workflows, or needs a target style that supports broader scanner recognition requirements.

RSL463M

The RSL463M also uses offset +2 mm and is designed for users working with a variety of scanner types. Its alternate front/back target design may be preferred depending on the scanner, software, and registration workflow.

Recommendation: Choose the RSL463M when your scanner or processing workflow benefits from this target face configuration, or when it is specifically recommended for your equipment setup.

Quick Selection Guide

Complete Reference Control Kit for Public Safety Mapping

Modern public safety mapping often involves more than one tool. A reconstruction team may use a terrestrial laser scanner at a crash scene, a drone LiDAR payload for aerial coverage, a SLAM device for interiors, and a total station or GNSS workflow for control. The Rothbucher KS2 suitcase kit is designed to help bring those workflows together around consistent, repeatable reference points.

For law enforcement, that means cleaner scene data, easier registration between scan positions, improved repeatability during return visits, and a stronger technical foundation for reports, diagrams, reconstruction work, courtroom exhibits, and expert review.

What’s Included in the KS2-420M/422M/462M/463M-2 Kit

Each kit includes four laser scanner targets of the selected type, along with the core Rothbucher accessories needed to support indoor and outdoor 3D measurement workflows.

Why Mapping Targets Matter

Point clouds are only as useful as the workflow used to capture, align, and verify them. Rothbucher mapping targets and fixed points give operators a practical way to establish known reference locations throughout a scene, structure, roadway, or facility.

In accident reconstruction, targets can help link multiple scanner positions across a roadway or intersection. In indoor crime scene documentation, they can support repeatable reference points across rooms, hallways, and building levels. In drone LiDAR or mobile mapping, they can help strengthen the relationship between captured data and known control.

Rothbucher “One Point Fits All” Reference System

Rothbucher’s OPFA system is designed so that one physical reference point can be used with multiple mapping and survey instruments. When the correct offset is applied, operators can obtain the same survey point or XYZ coordinate across compatible tools.

This is especially valuable for agencies that combine several technologies, such as total stations, terrestrial laser scanners, SLAM devices, drone LiDAR payloads, mobile mapping systems, GNSS receivers, scanner spheres, reflective targets, and mini prisms.

Designed for Indoor and Outdoor Scene Mapping

Common Law Enforcement Applications

• Fatal and serious injury accident reconstruction
• Crime scene documentation and forensic mapping
• Indoor scene scanning with SLAM or terrestrial laser scanners
• Drone LiDAR mapping of crash scenes, disaster zones, facilities, and critical infrastructure
• Mobile mapping workflows for roadways, campuses, and complex outdoor environments
• Training facilities, tactical site documentation, and pre-planning workflows
• Repeat surveys where the same location may need to be documented again later
• Scene documentation workflows requiring stronger spatial reference control

Important Selection Notes

Rothbucher target and accessory selection should be matched to the agency’s scanner type, LiDAR payload, SLAM system, survey workflow, and accuracy requirements. MAXSUR can help agencies choose the correct kit configuration and related accessories for their specific mission profile.

Product specifications, compatible workflows, offsets, and kit contents may vary by configuration. Always verify the selected target option before ordering.
