Joe Hutton, director of airborne products and inertial technology at Trimble Applanix, talks about leveraging direct georeferencing (DG) systems to enable “mapping anywhere” with little or no ground infrastructure. Not only can such DG systems enable mapping to be done with no or at least fewer GCPs, they enable the integration of camera, lidar and hyperspectral sensors into single mapping payloads with real-time or in-the-field generation of map products. The combination of these features, with the addition of improved in-field capabilities and licensing, opens the door for smaller, lighter, higher performing solutions and real-time, in-the-field actionable data.

Inside GNSS recently interviewed Steven Woolven, president of Trimble Applanix, on how his time with the company has evolved over the years. Recalling his first day on the job at Applanix, Woolven notes, “The company was using inertial technology, GNSS technology and other sensors to create what we now call a sensor fusion engine...it was the grandfather of the technology that is in all Applanix products to this day.” Talking about the ‘magic’ of the product solutions, he says “We’re good at making hardware, but that’s not really our core IP. What we do is make algorithms that solve people’s problems. We code them up, make embedded firmware, desktop and cloud software, and that, married with the hardware, is what makes the magic happen.” Check out the full article: https://bit.ly/3BfGgDL

Sisir Radar, a leading tech pioneer in India, achieved groundbreaking success in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology with Trimble's navigation systems. In 2023 the company became one of the first in its space to demonstrate low-altitude L-band (1-2 GHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with sub-metric resolution in just 11 months of operations—a significant achievement, explains Urmi Bhambhani, co-founder and chief technology officer. “The navigation system we used for this was provided by Trimble and they had a huge part to play in this success we achieved at breakneck speed,” says Bhambhani. “The main difference between SAR and a regular radar is, to get fine resolution, SAR uses velocity of the platform to synthetically create a larger aperture for the radar. For a successful SAR product, the navigation system is extremely crucial,” he said. Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/4ewoOt7 Sisir Radar

ApplanixPPK is a user-friendly web application cloud service designed for post-processing kinematic (PPK) differential GNSS positions for UAVs. Instead of depending on a single base station or RTK for trajectory optimization, Post-Processed Trimble CenterPoint RTX can be utilized globally, offering centimeter-level positioning within minutes after mission completion. This webinar illustrates the straightforward usage of ApplanixPPK to achieve optimal mapping performance from UAV payloads equipped with a GNSS receiver.

Applanix LiDAR QC Tools comprise a set of POSPac software tools designed to attain the utmost level of georeferencing accuracy with LiDAR sensors. These tools facilitate boresight calibration between the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and LiDAR sensor, trajectory adjustment, and the generation of LAS file point clouds. Primarily employed in the uncrewed airborne (UAV), land mobile mapping and indoor survey industry, this software is hardware-agnostic, functioning seamlessly with any LiDAR system. The LiDAR QC Tools leverage Applanix Point Cloud Data Adjustment (PCDA) technology. Applanix PCDA technology represents an advanced iteration of LiDAR Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM), founded on a robust global Voxel iterative least squares adjustment (LSQ).
