Orbis360 provides mobile mapping services and web visualization of 3D data for various public and private sector clients. To best serve their clients with high-resolution imagery, Orbis360 needed the accuracy of the StreetMapper-V mobile mapping system with the high-resolution imagery of the Mosaic X.

Unlock a new era of precision and efficiency in aerial surveying with the seamless integration of IGI CCNS-5 and RIEGL LiDAR Scanners. This powerful combination brings together two industry-leading technologies to deliver unparalleled performance and versatility in data acquisition.

The IGI CCNS-5, renowned for its advanced Flight Management System (FMS), seamlessly integrates with RIEGL VQ airborne laser scanners, such as the new RIEGL VQ-1460 wide-area mapping system. The CCNS-5, together with its native mission planning solution IGIplan, provide a comprehensive suite of toolsets for optimal flight plan creation and execution of your airborne missions. It maximizes data acquisition efficiency, thus reducing environmental impact and contributes to overall flight safety.

Earlier this year, XEOS Imagerie Inc. of Quebec, Canada received delivery of their RIEGL VQ-1460 airborne laser scanning system in combination with an IGI CCNS-5 computer controlled navigation system. The VQ-1460 offers a linear scan pattern for high point density and ultra-wide area mapping, with an extremely high laser pulse repetition frequency of 4.4 MHz and an effective swath width of 60 degrees. The system is capable of long-range detection from as far away as 5400m, resulting in extremely high collection efficiency. At an airspeed of 150 knots and with an average of 8 points per square meter, the VQ-1460 can collect as much as 615 km2/hour. The outstanding productivity in combination with the IGI CCNS flight management system convinced XEOS Imagerie to upgrade to the latest benchmark in LiDAR collection efficiency.

“I am always looking for the best possible solutions for our aerial mapping needs and this combination with the great support provided by IGI and RIEGL has exceeded our expectations”, commented Tony St-Pierre, President of XEOS Imagerie Inc.

Whether it is large-scale topographic mapping, mountain surveying in complex terrain or low-altitude corridor mapping for infrastructure projects, this complementing technology empowers surveyors with the ability to tackle complex projects with confidence and precision.

Join the ranks of industry leaders who trust the synergy of IGI CCNS-5 and RIEGL LiDAR scanners to drive innovation and success in aerial surveying. Discover the possibilities of seamless integration and unlock new opportunities for your surveying projects today.

Changes:

>> Removed crash when changing label font or font size in visualization template editor

Changes:

>> Code Meter Update Period - Now the time period to update the time certificate of the Codemeter dongle can be pre-set by IGI to another value than 60 days.
>> Map/DTM Editor - Map/DTM Editor now has a better detection when a map or DTM in a mission planning is edited. If the stored map or DTM settings are changed, the modified state is displayed with a * in the dialog title.

Bugfixes:

>> Block DTM object was not named correctly - Previously a new Block DTM - converted from a Segment DTM - was named to Block Contour instead of the correct value Block DTM.
>> Map/DTM Editor showed black map - In some situations the Map/DTM Editor displayed a black
map. This is corrected now.
>> Relative path option in Map/DTM Editor - In some situations the "relative path" option for the file location was not pre-set correctly.

IGI and Vexcel Imaging are happy to announce the new interfacing of Vexcel’s Adaptive Motion Compensation (AMC) in combination with IGI’s industry-leading AEROcontrol GNSS/IMU systems. Both companies worked together to enable the AMC advantage for customers who operate the UltraCam cameras together with IGI’s AEROcontrol and CCNS-5.

IGI AEROcontrol is a GNSS/IMU navigation system for the precise determination of the position and altitude of an airborne sensor and/or multiple sensors constellation. This can be the position of the projection centre and the angles omega, phi, kappa of an aerial camera and/or any other airborne sensors. Military-grade technology consisting of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), based on fibre-optic gyros (FOG - IMU-IIf) or micro-electro-mechanical gyros (MEMS - IMU-m), and the IGI Sensor Management Unit (SMU) with the integrated high-end GNSS receiver.

Vexcel’s AMC is an innovative motion compensation approach that in addition to correcting image blur in the direction of flight (the so-called Forward Motion Compensation or FMC) also addresses blur caused by multi-directional camera movements during the flight. Additionally, AMC compensates for ground sampling distance variations in oblique imagery with fantastic results - through AMC, the 4^th generation UltraCam produces imagery of unprecedented vividness and sharpness.

Seamless Integration

The capability to combine UltraCam with IGI’s AEROcontrol for AMC is a straightforward approach and easy to apply to customers. All IGI AEROcontrol SMU and Compact systems can be retrofitted with AMC support. The first customers already received the AEROcontrol AMC enhancement for operation with UltraCam newest generation of cameras.
