Accuracy
| RS1 | RS2 | RS3 | RS4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LiDAR range accuracy (mm) | 20 | 40 | 20 | 20 |
| GNSS\INS system | Mapping grade | Survey grade | Survey grade | Mapping grade |
| Dual Heading as standard | Each Routescene UAV LiDAR system option is equipped with dual antenna GNSS to establish heading. This is the best method and provides not only position and velocity but also a true heading which remains accurate even when stationary. Read more. | |||
| Absolute post processed accuracy at 30m range from scanner (mm) | 35 | 42 | 18 | 39 |
| Absolute post processed accuracy at 80m range from scanner (mm) | 85 | 50 | 31 | 87 |
Upgrade options
| RS1 | RS2 | RS3 | RS4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Include a survey grade INS sensor? This improves the accuracy of the overall system by approximately: | x2 | x2 | ||
| Include an RTK receiver in the Ground Station? | 1) This transmits Real Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections to the LidarPod in-flight and enables you to create a high accuracy point cloud immediately after the mission is complete. 2) Provides the ability to process using Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) and\or improves the accuracy of the overall system by having a very short PPK baseline. |
