Integrating aerial reality capture

Author:莫妮卡·米勒·罗杰斯（Monica Miller Rodgers）

Even just a decade ago, mapping, inspecting or any other type of surveying from the air would have been unheard of in the industry. Today, though, using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has become almost standard for various geospatial applications, such as volume calculations, powerline inspections and as-built documentation. UAVs are even making appearances in accident investigations, special effects development and other non-traditional applications.

无人机有几个好处，例如到达困难的领域和提高安全性，并以极高的准确性捕获任何项目的独特观点。不过，无人机的能力仅与项目整个生命周期的整体工作流程的能力一样好。这个想法是Leica Geosystems最新的空中现实捕获解决方案的中心。亚博ag真人规律

引入完整的集成以进行完整的理解

Leica Geosystemshas recently announced its latest UAV, theLeica Aibot. After entering into the UAV market in 2014 with the acquisition of Aibotix, a pioneer in professional UAV systems, Leica Geosystems, with its early market entrance, has learned many lessons in developing aerial reality capture solutions and applied that earned knowledge to its latest offering.

“As we revamped our UAV program, we focused on integrating entire processes into one comprehensive Leica Geosystems ecosystem,”Leica Geosystems无人机计划经理Valentin Fuchs说。“From surveying to inspection, the Aibot solution enables user to operate in one workflow while still offering open source compatibility.”

The complete workflow uses the M600 PRO by DJI, an industry leader in UAV manufacturing, while the software and sensor integration comes from the trusted Leica Geosystems offerings of Infinity for surveying, Cyclone for laser scanning processing, third-party 3D Reshaper for point cloud processing, and eventually ConX for construction. From flight planning to execution followed by processing with integration from other reality capture instruments to analysing, the user will end with an actionable data set. In less time with less costs, the comprehensive and innovative interface keeps the user in a familiar environment throughout the entire workflow.

个性化解决方案

The new UAV solution has been developed with segment professionals in mind, and it will be released in two versions:

1. Leica Aibot SX
   对于致力于捕获基础设施和资产的测量师，Leica Aibot SX专门在工作流程中起作用，该工作流程结合了其他测量技术，例如总站，激光扫描仪和GNSS。亚博5分钟快三
2. Leica Aibot CX
   For construction professionals on site, the Leica Aibot CX provides a level of accuracy previously unknown in the industry to capture a transparent view throughout the construction lifecycle of planning, designing and constructing.

“Professionals in surveying and construction have differing criteria, but what they do have in common is the need for quick access to accurate data,”said Fuchs.“With solutions designed to their particular needs, while also keeping our overall commitment to easy visualisation and digitisation of results, the new UAV solution has a unique place in all workflows.”

Fuchs also confirms more segment personalised UAV solutions are in the works. As these solutions continue to develop with the professional in mind, including UAVs in projects will become even more routine. Inside of one common interface, operators will find more efficiency and accuracy to grow their businesses and gain an entirely new perspective.
