Can Precis-BX316 work well for aerial photogrammetry with UAV without the need for ground control points(GCPs)?

Can Precis-BX306 work well for aerial photogrammetry with UAV without the need for ground control points(GCPs)?

Yes, the following solution can be used to replace the GCPs:

You can setup a base with our Precis-BX306, and then transmit RTK corrections from the base. After the corrections are received, it will output accurate (cm-level) positioning and heading info. In the application of aerial photogrammetry with UAV, after the camera take a picture, it will send a pulse from the PC (Prontor-Compur connection) port to the receiver, the accurate position (cm-level) will be saved.

The photos and their positions will be input to the mapping software (eg, PIX4D or Agsoft) to get an accurate map.

Do I need a specific camera to work or any camera?

No specific camera is needed; you can use any camera which has a PC (Prontor-Compur connection) port. And the synchronization between the shutters to the flash must be enabled. When the camera is taking a photo, a pulse is sent to the receiver through the PC port. The exact time when the photo is taken will be saved for post-processing.

Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement

Three Typical Situations of Earthwork Measurement Tips for earthwork measurement under different circumstances with Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA APP Earthwork calculations are essential in many survey projects, but the complexity of measurement and calculations causes many new engineers headaches. In general, earthwork calculation is divided into two parts: excavation and filling, which can also be simply understood as volume and capacity calculation. The following are the Tips for using the Tersus Oscar GNSS receiver and NUWA App for earthwork measurement under different circumstances. The powerful earthwork calculation function of the NUWA app can calculate the result and quickly; you only need to import the survey points and then input the reference altitude. Notes for measurement: When measuring points, we should measure as many points on the surface of the object as possible. The density of survey points needs to be strengthened in places where the terrain changes sig...

Introduction of Nuwa APP's location share function

Today we are going to introduce the Nuwa APP's location share function. It can share the centimeter-level accuracy coordinates obtained from Tersus receiver to other android apps. The following introduction takes a map app as an example. 1. Turn off GPS location on an android device and turn on airplane mode, open a map app and it cannot display any positioning results at this time. 2. Launch Nuwa app, connect a Tersus GNSS receiver, configure the receiver to receive satellite signals and correction data, and ensure the solution status is fixed and high-precision coordinates are displayed. 3. Under the submenu Project -> Settings, turn on [Location Sharing]. 4. After turning on this function, it will automatically jump to the android system setting interface. Find ‘Select mock location app’, click and select Nuwa. 5. Open the map app, it displays the positioning result at this time. Actually this positioning result is the high-precision positioning result of the Tersus receiver ...

How to Use Oscar to Collect Static Data for A Given Length of Time

Usually, we need to collect static data for a given length of time, for example, 2 hours. In the past, the surveyor had to record the start time and keep an eye on the clock all the time. The function of setting the static collection duration in Oscar GNSS Receiver can solve this problem. When setting the static survey, the surveyor only needs to enter the duration time, then start it, and no more attention will be required. When the time is up, Oscar will automatically stop recording, with no fewer or more data. Now we show you how to set the Oscar static collection duration on the OLED display of Oscar. 1. Turn on the Oscar, press the Power ON/OFF button and Function (FN) button, and go to Mode Config -> Static. The default option of Static is OFF, and you can press the Function (FN) button to switch it to “Auto” or “Manual”. 2. Go to Duration to set the collection time, for example, 120 minutes. 3. Set other options, then choose “Confirm”, and it will start to collect st...
