TS04B: FIG PLATINUM MEMBER SESSION -TRIMBLE

Enabling Geospatial Professionals to Conquer New Frontiers

Speakers: Stephanie Michaud and Anna Jarvis

As a market leader and technology innovator in the geospatial industry, Trimble Inc realizes it takes more than just a cool new product to transform the way the world works and create lasting change. It takes investment in the people who are leading and driving that change, and supporting the way they want to work with entirely new disruptive solutions.

Democratization of positioning solutions has been a persistent goal within the Trimble Survey and Mapping sector, especially for addressing Land Administration needs of mapping cadastre and people’s relationship to the land, all while maintaining data integrity and quality. Over the past year, several localized pilots have been launched in select markets worldwide (India, Brazil, and South Africa) to test the validity of a low cost, software based GNSS solution, paired with attribute rich survey software. In this session, we are excited to share the results and lessons learned while deploying these pilots.

As the cost of commercially available imaging sensors (LiDARs, cameras, etc.) continues to decrease, so has the cost of mobile mapping systems that use them, meaning there is more geospatial data available than ever which can be harnessed to make faster, safer, and greener decisions. Applications range from real-time detection of foreign objects on runways (FOD), high accuracy mapping for telecommunication companies planning locations for new fiber-optic cables, or contributing to real-time efficiency in a railyard.

Accuracy of the geospatial data and its collection efficiency are of utmost importance, and without the proper tools challenges can arise, especially in dense urban environments. The hardware and software solutions from Trimble Applanix provide the highest accuracy positioning and orientation measurements for mobile georeferencing in all environments, whether mapping from an aircraft, a UAV, land vehicle, or a ship.

Join the Trimble and Applanix teams as we share the many ways in which we are protecting our world, while simultaneously striving to enable geospatial professionals to conquer new frontiers.
