Applanix Direct Georeferencing for UAVs

Applanix Direct Georeferencing for UAVs – Everything you need to turn your UAV into a professional mapping solution.

Reduce cost and improve efficiency of aerial survey from UAVs with Directly Georeferencing!

GNSS-INERTIAL SYSTEMS

DG is used with cameras, LIDAR, and hyperspectral sensors on UAV’s for highly-efficient, automated mapping and surveying. Reduces – or even eliminates – GCPs, and reduces flight time and processing time required for generating final map products. The APX-UAV Product Line:

APX-15 UAV*: Single board GNSS-Inertial solution for DG from small UAVS

APX-15 EI UAV: Support for an external IMU for gimballed platforms

APX-18 UAV: Dual GNSS antenna configuration for low speeds/hovering, LiDAR

APX-20 UAV: External IMU for highest accuracy and higher altitude mapping

*Available with UASMaster.

Trimble GNSS Smart Target Base Station

An easy to use, survey grade multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS reference station with a foam Ground Control Target and integrated carrying case.

POSPac UAV, POSPac UAV Cloud

GNSS-aided inertial post-processing software for georeferencing data from the Trimble APX series of board sets.
