IMMEDIATE ANSWERS FROM AIRBORNE DIRECT GEOREFERENCING

POS AV is the foremost commercial GNSS-Inertial solution for airborne direct georeferencing. Used with digital cameras, film cameras, LIDAR systems, SAR systems, and digital scanners, POS AV precisely measures aerial sensor position and orientation hundreds of times each second, accounting for all motion variables at the exact moment of data capture. In real time or refined in post-processing with the highly productive POSPac Mobile Mapping Suite (MMS) software, the POS AV data is used to accurately georeference sensor data to the Earth or local mapping frame without the need for ground information, eliminating time consuming aerotriangulation steps. POS AV is ideally suited to support precision mapping work, especially over inhospitable environments and in rapid response capacities where ground control data may be unavailable or physically impossible to collect. POS AV integrated precision GNSS with inertial technology is supported by Applanix’ industry leading expertise and a continuous dedication to technological innovation. Offering a streamlined and automated data workflow with built-in quality control features, POS AV improves productivity in all aerial mapping applications.
