Description

Tersus UAV PPK solution includes BX316R PPK Receiver, AX3705 Helix Antenna and Tersus GeoPix Software. BX316R PPK Receiver supports multi-constellations and dual-frequencies. It has in-built 4G memory for GNSS observation data recoding. Very small and light AX3705 Helix Antenna is designed for UAV applications. Tersus GeoPix integrates the functions of GNSS observation post processing, Event Mark interpolation and geotagging in EXIF. By clicking one button after input all necessary data, the software will provide the result directly as input for image processing software.

Why use Tersus PPK solution for UAV photogrammetry

Tersus PPK solution dramatically reduces time and cost. It can significantly reduce ground control points (GCPs) or even eliminate the demand for GCPs. There is no need of real-time RTK correction in this solution. Tersus PPK solution combines forward and backward filter during post processing and it can provide more reliable positioning and higher fixing rate.

Features of Tersus GeoPix

Simple software interface and simple workflow
Automatic processing GNSS data and geotagging images by one button click
Show the result in trajectory plot and the images on online map
Provide PPK result in both EXIF and text file
The result can be directly used by image processing software, i.e., Pix4D, Agrisoft, etc.
Support Base Station data from CORS or other brands GNSS Receiver, i.e., RTCM3 and RINEX format.
