Frankfurt’s Old Town Hall in 3D with the FJD Trion P2

A team documented the Gothic town hall on Römerberg with a handheld P2: one operator, no tripod, about ten minutes — then 3D Gaussian Splatting in Trion Model.

Point cloud of Frankfurt’s Old Town Hall scanned with the FJD Trion P2

On Römerberg in Frankfurt stands the city’s Gothic town-hall complex — more than six centuries of civic architecture. The job was to record the form at high fidelity for archive and visualisation, without a heavy setup on the square.

One operator, no tripod, ten minutes

The FJD Trion P2 weighs 700 g. With RTK on site, one operator covered the monument in about ten minutes, with no tripod or external power. Multi-SLAM (LiDAR, vision, and RTK/PPK) held the path against curved stone bases and shade. Three built-in cameras colourised the cloud live in FJD Trion Scan on a tablet, so gaps showed before export.

Handheld FJD Trion P2 used in a building environment
The P2 is built to be carried around large objects — the same logic as on Römerberg.

Gaussian Splatting and a denser cloud

In FJD Trion Model the dataset went through 3D Gaussian Splatting for photoreal display. HyperDense+ increased density up to 5–7 times, toward millimetre spacing — useful for inscriptions and surface erosion, not only massing.
