WHY UAS AERIAL IMAGING?
M any surveying and mapping professionals across the world successfully use the Trimble UAS Aerial Imaging Solution for their applications because it is:

• A highly economic solution that enables aerial mapping, once reserved for the largest surveying & engineering firms, to be used by the masses
• A safe solution that enables surveying of rugged, hazardous, hard-to-reach or unhealthy areas without risking injury
• An efficient tool giving the ability to collect and process data faster than traditional terrestrial-based survey technology
• D esigned to quickly plan a flight and collect data, allowing rapid response to your customers’ needs
• An advanced technology that can easily be used to serve numerous professional markets and applicationsBUILT FOR ALL YOUR APPLICATION NEEDS Trimble UAS Aerial Imaging solutions are designed to drastically reduce time and cost to collect aerial data and guarantee the reliability you need for a range of applications including:

• Engineering & Surveying
• M ining
• C ivil & H eavy Earthworks C onstruction
• Oil & Gas
• Environmental & Landfill
• Public Agencies
• Agriculture & F orestry

W ithin each of these industries, aerial imaging can be used to perform a variety of tasks and produce a range of deliverables. Trimble UAS Aerial Imaging solutions are being used to perform boundary & topographic surveys, site & route planning, progress monitoring, as-builts, volume determination, vegetation health and disaster analysis. F rom a single flight, operators are able to generate feature maps, topographic contours, 3 D surface models, orthophotographs, and Normalized D ifference Vegetation Index (N D VI) maps for vegetation.



# T rimble VISION: M easure with S peed and S afety

Deliverables collected with Trimble UAS can be combined with Trimble ® VISION TM technology such as Trimble total stations and Trimble 3D laser scanners for a one-of-a-kind solution in the market. By combining data collected with Trimble’s leading edge photogrammetry technology, such as the Trimble UX5 Aerial Imaging Rover, Trimble VX TM Spatial Station, and Trimble TX5 3D Laser Scanner, users can visualize their project from multiple perspectives, measure points within the images and create 3D models of the infrastructure and terrain.

# A NEW STANDARD IN MAPPING – NO MATTER WHAT THE JOB

www.trimble.com/uasSMALL PLATFORM – HIGH IMAGE ACQUISITION QUALITY

The Trimble ® UX5 Aerial Imaging solution uses the latest developments in the ‘prosumer’ camera market, ensuring optimal image quality along with maximum photogrammetric accuracy. The UX5 camera has - unlike a traditional compact camera – a large imaging sensor that captures very sharp, color-rich images, even in dark and cloudy conditions. The camera and its custom optics give the UX5 the ability to capture data down to an incredible 2.4 cm resolution.
WORKFLOWS ENSURING EASE-OF-USE The all-new Trimble Access TM Aerial Imaging application runs on the Trimble Tablet rugged P C and allows users to plan their aerial missions, performing pre-flight checks and monitoring your flights – all with intuitive workflows that ensure reliable results. In the field, the operator is guided through the pre- and post-flight sequences with step-by-step digital checklists. M any of the Trimble UX5 checks are automatically verified by the software and do not require any interaction from the operator. The fast and intuitive workflow allows the Trimble UX5 to be ready to fly in less than 10 minutes ensuring minimal downtime.

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE To keep the Trimble UX5 users productive all day long even in harsh weather conditions, we have focused on a very robust design when engineering the system. C onditions such as heavy wind, light rain, heat and very cold temperatures are absolutely no challenge for the Trimble UX5 which makes it your dependable solution to gather quality data without compromising coverage.

# POWERFUL DELIVERABLES WITH TRIMBLE BUSINESS CENTER PHOTOGRAMMETRY MODULE

STATE-OF-THE-ART IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY Aerial image data collected with the Trimble UX5 and Trimble Gatewing X100 UAS can now be processed into powerful deliverables with the Trimble B usiness C enter (T BC ) Photogrammetry module.
B ased on advanced Inpho technology, the photogrammetry module provides a stable and reliable photogrammetric system delivering excellent results without requiring specialized photogrammetry knowledge or experience.
The T BC photogrammetry module works seamlessly with T BC standard and advanced survey modules, making possible to process complete mapping projects including aerial imagery, Trimble VISION imagery, GNSS and total station observations.

ADJUST AERIAL PHOTO STATIONS The aerial triangulation process adjusts the aerial photo stations, automatically finding matching tie points in overlapping images to correct their relative positions and orientations. Ground control points can easily be registered to correct the absolute position and scale of the photo stations.

M easure P hotogrammetry P oints
T BC ’s “virtual telescope” intersects points from multiple aerial photo stations and/or terrestrial Trimble VISION photo stations, to enable measurement of discrete points. Accurately and efficientlymeasure the locations of features including buildings’ corners, treetops, and utilities.

C reate 3D P oint C louds Automatically create 3 D point clouds from adjusted photo stations. The fully automatic process adapts parameters to guarantee precision, providing extremely detailed and accurate results at a speed of about 3 sec. per image with about 1-2 pixels height accuracy. C reate D igital S urface M odels 3 D digital surface models are created automatically from adjusted photo stations. A raster D S M created from the generated point cloud is refined using sophisticated interpolation routines, noise filtering, edge modeling and outlier detection to achieve rich detail within surface models.

C reate D igital O rthophotographs Automatically create ortho-rectified, georeferenced mosaics from adjusted photo stations. Rigid “True-Ortho” rectification combined with outstanding geometric feature-based seamline-finding andradiometric balancing result in perfect looking seamless orthomosaics. Radiometric single image corrections as well image group corrections are applied for perfect homogeneous colors and intensity, ready for GIS use.SPECIFICATIONS
