AUTOPILOT SYSTEM

▪ Easy in use autopilot system

▪ App which can be installed on mobile or tablet

▪ Manual flights possible

11

TRIMBLE GNSS / IMU

▪ APX20 Integrated system

▪ Needed to geo-reference LIDAR measurement points

▪ Survey-grade RTK GNSS designed for(manned) aviation

▪ < 2 cm position / 0.035° orientation error

▪ Includes-post-processing software suite for use without RTK ground station andoptimum accuracy

▪ No GCP needed!

12

TRIMBLE GNSS / IMU

▪ These pointclouds represent 2 flights of each 4 minutes▪ All pointclouds are automatically geo-referenced (no GCP’s)

BEEFLEX

• User can choose to export the entire project as a single file, or extract flexibly selected flight strips (click and drag, adjust size, delete, rename)

16

BEEFLEX

• BEEFLEX post-processes the data into the final refined geo-referenced point cloud in only a few minutes (*.e57 default, you can also optionally select *.las).
