Backpack RTK
Fast, accurate, repeatable results without GCPs
Emesent’s Backpack RTK automates high-accuracy georeferencing and drift-correction for backpack-based scans, to deliver fast, accurate and precise scans while reducing or eliminating the need to lay out and georeference ground control points. Intelligently leveraging both RTK and SLAM to optimize results, Backpack RTK ensures the most reliable, robust point cloud. Combine with the 360 colorization kit for Hovermap to add a new level of reality and extract 360 degree images for additional context.
When the highest accuracy is not required, Backpack RTK also allows georeferencing in GPS-denied environments. Start a scan outdoors using RTK and then seamlessly transition to SLAM capture indoors during the same scan, without requiring indoor set up of control points. Also beneficial in forestry applications, construction progress tracking, and any project where small areas of the site have limited or no GPS.
RTK can also be used when deploying Hovermap by drone or vehicle.
Benefit from:
-
Automated georeferencing
Automated georeferencing as you scan and one-click correction in Aura post-processing eliminates labor-intensive and time-consuming processes.
-
The most reliable and robust point cloud
Reduces drift by seamlessly leveraging the optimal combination between RTK and SLAM.
-
A more accurate solution
Excels in environments traditionally more challenging for SLAM such as large areas with limited features or long, linear assets.
-
Outdoor to indoor scanning
In a single scanning session, georeference indoors by beginning and ending a scan with RTK outdoors.
-
Lightweight, intuitive set-up
Be up and scanning in minutes.
-
Ease of transportation
All equipment fits inside the sturdy, ergonomically designed backpack, including the GNSS receiver, for ease of transportation.
