Applanix introduces next-generation OEM solution for mobile mapping applications using GNSS-Inertial technology
Hardware and software platform delivers unparalleled accuracy and performance for system integrators
Denver, February 4, 2022—Applanix, a Trimble company (NASDAQ: TRMB), today announced the Trimble® AP+ Land GNSS-inertial OEM solution for accurate and robust position and orientation for geo-referencing sensors and vehicle positioning in landfill applications. land mobile mapping. This allows users to accurately and efficiently track and monitor fleets, produce high definition (HD) maps and 3D models, or act as a reference solution for testing advanced vehicle assistance systems. driving (ADAS), even in the most difficult GNSS environments.
The launch will take place during Geo Week in Denver, Colorado on February 6. Geo Week is an integration of the International Lidar Mapping Forum, AEC Next Technology Expo & Conference, and SPAR 3D Expo & Conference, and ASPRS Partner Events USIBD Annual Conference & Annual Symposium .
The Trimble AP+ Land is a complete solution for land vehicle applications that is small enough to easily integrate into the most compact mobile mapping systems. It is also compatible with virtually all types of mapping sensors, including single or multiple LiDAR systems, video cameras, photogrammetric and panoramic cameras and other similar sensors.
Configurable to meet the mapping, positioning, and direct georeferencing (DG) accuracy requirements of mapping and positioning applications in challenging GNSS signal environments, the Trimble AP+ Land solution includes:
- Applanix IN-Fusion+ GNSS-assisted inertial firmware with Trimble ProPoint™ GNSS positioning technology
- Two built-in survey-grade GNSS chipsets that can receive multi-frequency and multi-constellation signals
- Two custom-designed Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
- Distance Measurement Indicator (DMI)
- Compact size
- Low power consumption
- Support for optional RTK and Trimble CenterPoint® RTX real-time correction service
- Full integration and after-sales support through the Applanix Global support network
“We’ve taken the most advanced features of Applanix inertial technology and Trimble GNSS technology and bundled them into a powerful, compact and versatile solution optimized for mobile mapping and positioning applications,” said Joe Hutton, Director inertial technology, air and ground products from Applanix. “We remain committed to the success of our customers by developing flexible and scalable positioning solutions such as AP+ Land and more.”
The Trimble AP+ Land OEM solution is fully supported by industry-leading Applanix POSPac MMS post-processing software, which includes Trimble CenterPoint RTX post-processing for global centimeter positioning without the need for base stations . These capabilities make it an ideal solution for integrators to produce a highly efficient land mobile mapping system.
For LiDAR integrators, the Trimble AP+ Land OEM is compatible with POSPac MMS LiDAR QC tools. SLAM technology calculates the misalignment angles of the IMU relative to the LiDAR boresight and also adjusts the trajectory to achieve the highest level of georeferencing accuracy in the generated point cloud.
Trimble AP+ Land OEM solution and POSPac MMS are available through Applanix sales channels. For more information visit: mobilemapping.applanix.com.
