GPS 2.0. – A real innovation in satellite positioning (Part 2)

In the previous post, we have introduced the challenges impacting network RTK GNSS surveying applications: Coordinates that are precise down to inches/centimeters are available for the user even within buildings or sites with limited sky visibility. The system keeps working properly in urban environments and within buildings, both are typical high multipath environments. The number oRead More…

GPS 2.0. – A real innovation in satellite positioning (Part 1)

We have been witnessing a great improvement curve in satellite positioning in the last decades. The increasing number of satellites, shrinking hardware, smarter software and affordable prices have resulted in GNSS technology with RTK precision becoming a crucial, if not the most important tool in a surveyor’s toolbox. The time might not be far when all these are going to be part of the toolbox oRead More…

The accuracy of Leica SmartLink and SmartLink Fill – a field test’s results

The Network RTK precise positioning method is one of the most widely used one in surveying practice. To gain the cm accuracy is based on a kind of „cooperation” of independent sub-systems like the GNSS satellite segment, the RTK base station network operator, the mobile telecommunication service provider and finally the rover producer. This set-up, however, might carry some risks for the user Read More…

Virtual reality and 3D point cloud technology

It is widely known that 3D point cloud technology is a fantastic and effective way of spatial data acquisition. Regarding the applications the opportunities are extensive, yet the basic demand normally is to derive some „traditional” mapping products like 2D plans, elevations, sections, profiles, etc. – a kind of static imagination of reality.
In addition, we may monitor slight changes in tiRead More…
