用GNSS漫游者测量点云

Takeaways from JTRS Registered Surveyor on the Leica GS18 I GNSS RTK Rover

We measure the point cloud.

This is the slogan from JTRS Registered Surveyor, a professional land surveying company in Singapore that provides 3D laser scanning, land survey, aerial mapping and inspection, photogrammetry and imaging services. JTRS is continuously looking for innovative and creative ways to improve the surveying services the company provides.

The company's latest technology leap is being able to measure the georeferenced point cloud and points with its brand new tech acquisition – theLeica GS18 I GNSS RTK Rover.

"The capability of capturing images at the same time with real-time positioning from a single instrument, really changes the way we carry out surveying – It's a reality capture concept,"JTRS的所有者Jimmy Tan解释说。

此外,借助随之而来的倾斜补偿,它有助于获得RTK观察并迅速进行记录,这在夜间工作时像我们必须在机场跑道或MRT高架桥一样有用。我不需要额外的双手来握住手电筒在我平整杆子时发光的泡沫。”

除了测量点云外,GS18我还用功能强大的RTK漫游器授权JTR,结合了快速的RTK初始化,倾斜补偿的测量和视觉定位,这都是一个工具。借助GS18,我添加了他们的投资组合,JTRS能够提供新服务并改善公司的当前服务。

防弹工作流程

JTRS mostly uses the GS18 I for control surveys and quality checks in utility and construction projects. The tight accuracies needed range from 50mm to 100mm and for most QC projects within 40mm. For each project, the workflow with this versatile RTK GNSS rover is:

  • Capturing the data using either the pole tip or Visual Positioning with the GS18 I andLeica Captivatefield software
  • 使用办公软件的数据处理Leica Infinity
  • Creating deliverables with: Infinity (to process images to point clouds),Leica Jetstream(to publish the point clouds) and3D Reshaper(to do mesh modelling based on point clouds).

In Tan's words,“使用GS18 i,我只需要将相机指向我在步行时要捕获的主题。分钟时间。使用Infinity软件在办公室进行后处理所花费的时间为30分钟。我可以产生真正的颜色点云,我可以导出到正源于正驱动器并创建数字表面模型。还可以创建数百个TOPO点快速有效地从地理参与图像中。”

试验坑中的安全性和速度

进行试验坑或井井有条的调查可能非常具有挑战性。测量师通常需要遵循现场承包商的工作流程和时间表,因为需要回填沟槽,并且需要尽快重新开放道路车道。

When JTRS was tasked with a utility trench documentation, they saw it as an opportunity to put their new GNSS rover into a true test. Besides doing an as-built survey of trial pits and the underground utilities, the GS18 I allowed them to create a 3D point cloud and sequence it into a 3D mesh model.

The freedom of using both the pole tip and Visual Positioning to measure in the field and using simple workflow for processing in the office, pushes the boundary of surveying for JTRS to another level.

“测量使用GS18我从未如此激动人心. Once you capture the site using the Visual Positioning technology, you are able to validate the coordinates or levels of certain points. I am able to show the client confidently on the reduced levels of the existing pipe trough by selecting the point over the images that were captured in the survey controller –the CS20,"affirms Tan."Alternatively, I am able to post-process the captured data and generate the topo points list with coordinates and levels. All this is done in the comfort of my office’s air-conditioned environment."

GS18我的案例故事

质量控制检查调查的信心和准确性

For a building and scanning project that included the 3D scanning of 1,200 blocks, JTRS carried the quality check of the georeferenced scanned data with the GS18 I. Once again, the tilt and Visual Positioning technologies on the sensor made it possible to access previously unreachable points.
“在我们与HDB(住房开发委员会)的一个项目中,我能够在步行过程中使用视觉定位在步行过程中捕获的积分坐标。使用GS18 I,它很方便,可以快速进行调查,我可以立即获得结果离开网站。
When it was not possible to use the pole tip because it was too close to the building's edge and the RTK signal couldn't initialise we used the Visual Positioning method and walked further away from the building where there is RTK signal. Most of the time, we would use both methods if the site condition enables us to do so,"describes Tan.

Smoother workflow + higher quality deliverables = confident clients

JTRS is now able to work safer and save costs on manpower as the GNSS antenna is operated by only one person. To get ready to use the GS18 I on the field, the team needed no training and just one short introduction on how to process the images in Infinity was required.

"Clients are more confident in the quality of the deliverables. With Infinity, I am able to process the images into true point clouds with accurate georeferencing. With Visual Positioning, I can capture two images per second as I walk, and each image comes with global coordinates from a single source – the GS18 I. It is like flying the drone installed with a GNSS antenna and camera, except we are walking,"sustains Tan.

Opening new opportunities by measuring the point cloud

JTRS specialises in reality capture through 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry. The GS18 I adds to the company's motto of "measuring the point cloud" with an antenna that allows surveyors to capture sites freely and safely, carry QC for almost all its data and create multiple deliverables.

"We can further develop point clouds into a 3D mesh model – that's reality capture and it is very helpful in visualisation – many times better than a single point, single line or a 2D drawing. With Infinity you can also create Digital Surface Models. This is good for engineers or designers who can use this TIN model in their design work and easily extract heights and contours, water flows and more."谭说。

GS18我不仅在帮助改善JTRS提供的当前服务,还可以帮助公司提供新服务。能够更快地创建多个可交付成果,并减少资源,从而带来了更多的项目机会。

环境,社会和治理影响:工人安全

工人安全可能是特定调查任务的主要问题。例如,在沟渠中或附近工作可能是危险的:风险包括掉入沟渠,暴露于有毒烟雾中,接触埋藏的服务线,被机械击中等等。任何需要更少的人,现场时间更少的技术都可以确保工人的安全。我是为希望快速捕获环境的测量师设计的。他们稍后可以在办公室中确定要测量和这样做的点,从而节省昂贵且可能有风险的现场时间。
