NovAtel SPAN - Aerial Photogrammetry Test Flight Results

Organisation: NovAtel

This paper demonstrates how NovAtel’s GPS/INS technology, SPAN (Synchronized Position Attitude Navigation), can be integrated into an aerial photogrammetry application, with the Inertial Explorer software package, providing post-processing capability. Flight tests were conducted using a Northrop Grumman LN200 IMU, which is one of four IMU types available for use with SPAN. Attitude accuracy is derived by comparison to an aerotriangulation (AT). Accuracy of ground points is verified by comparison to ground control points. Although this paper is primarily concerned with a photogrammetric application, LiDAR users can expect similar attitude accuracies.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
