Through the integration of cutting-edge Direct Georeferencing (DG) with sophisticated mobile mapping technologies, Trimble is minimizing the dependence on ground control points and mitigating errors that arise from difficult environments or multiple survey attempts.
Trimble’s advanced DG solutions combine high-precision GNSS corrections with mobile LiDAR and SLAM technologies, delivering accurate spatial data in real-time. This powerful synergy supports autonomous operations in both outdoor settings and areas where GNSS signals are weak, such as underground parking facilities and rail yards, where conventional mapping methods often fail.
Success stories from Railergy and NavInfo illustrate how Trimble’s DG and mobile mapping technologies enhance setup efficiency and improve positional accuracy. Railergy effectively utilized Trimble’s Applanix POS LV to develop a fully automated map of a rail yard without interrupting ongoing operations, while NavInfo leveraged Applanix LiDAR QC Tools and GNSS-inertial integration to create a highly accurate HD map for an automated valet parking system.
These innovations not onyl enhance mapping precision but also optimize workflows, lower labor expenses, and improve safety by eliminating data inconsistencies. Trimble’s DG solutions empower autonomous vehicles to accurately perceive their environment,enabling them to make instantaneous decisions on roadways,at intersections,and in intricate settings.
By dismantling obstacles to the production of high-quality maps, Trimble is hastening the adoption of autonomous systems across various sectors. Their dedication to advancing DG and mobile mapping technologies is setting the stage for a more autonomous future.
