Leica Geosystems HDS Targets
HDS targets can be scanned and surveyed by traditional surveying instruments. They are easy to place on virtually any kind of surface and can often be left in place as useful reference points.
Leica Geosystems HDS blue planar targets allow intelligent, automatic identification and extraction by Cyclone software thanks to carefully designed differences in reflectivity between the target centre and the main target surface, plus tight manufacturing tolerances.
Leica Geosystems HDS Planar Targets

Planar targets come in two different shapes and sizes:
- 3"x3" Square targets are sized small for convenient use in digested areas and placement on narrow structures.
- 6" Circular targets are larger and are more convenient for acquisition at longer ranges or lower scan densities.
All planar targets are available with differrent backings for placement on a variety of surfaces:
- Adhesive backed targets
- Magnetic backed targets
Leica Geosystems HDS Tilt & Turn Targets

6" black & white, tilt & turn target*
Rugged planar tilt and turn targets are Leica Geosystems HDS' newest standard targets. They have a 5/8" female thread for mounting on target poles or magnetic mounts. They can be tilted and turned for a precise orientation to the scanner. They are available in two shapes and sizes and two colors:
- Small size blue 3"x3" square targets
- Large size blue 6" circular targets
- Large size black & white 6" circular targets
*The v-block magnetic mount not included with the tilt & turn target.
Leica Geosystems HDS Twin-Target Pole

twin-target pole*
The twin-target pole system contains two Leica Geosystems HDS flat targets and an accurate (20') vial for precise pole setups at control points. It allows quick orientation of scans to vertical, quick geo-referencing of small sites and prism* mount on top for easy target surveys.
*The prism is not included in the twin target pole system.
