Think 3D, Applanix combine on UAV-based airborne lidar mapping

November 27, 2017 - By

The Think 3D Stormbee multicopter integrated with Trimble’s AP15 provides efficiency, accuracy and performance for lidar surveys from unmanned vehicles. Historically, lidar-based aerial surveys were impractical for all but the largest unmanned systems. Because of Applanix’ development of small, lightweight and low-powered direct georeferencing solutions, airborne lidar scans from small drones are now practical, cost-effective, highly accurate and excellent options for lidar surveys, according... read more

Software steers autonomous vehicle testing

November 21, 2017 - By

Assessing the performance of autonomous systems under real-world conditions requires an ultra-precise ground truth reference against which to benchmark vehicle performance. A GNSS-plus-inertial post-processing software can provide this capability, taking real-time GNSS data — which are subject to outages, obstructions, weather-induced errors and more — from the vehicle and correcting the solution. This can improve meter-level data to centimeter-level, a... read more
