GeoSnap VN-TC

 

GPS, Yaw, Pitch and Roll Data for

Precise Position/Attitude Image Correlation

     

The Field of View GeoSnap VN-TC heightens georeferencing accuracy and streamlines the production of orthomosaics for Tetracam's ADC Micro, ADC Lite or Mini-MCA multi-spectral imaging systems.  This is accomplished by seamlessly fusing VectorNav's best-in-class VN-200 GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) with these systems to generate highly accurate position/attitude metadata that is correlated with each captured multi-spectral image. 

Accurate georeferencing is essential for site-specific treatment of vegetation problems.  The GeoSnap excels in this area.  The VN-200 GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) is capable of sub-degree attitude accuracy with pitch/roll accuracy of 0.25 degrees and heading accuracy of 0.75 degrees. (Accuracy values from VectorNav’s VN-200 datasheet). 

 

 

 

 

In addition to its accuracy, the GeoSnap VN-TC also possesses a number of parameter-based triggering features, such as distance based triggering, that enables the precise amount of along-flight-line overlap to be achieved independent of the wind conditions. The GeoSnap VN-TC can also be configured to only trigger image capture above a certain altitude, and when the magnitude of the pitch/roll angle does not exceed a set limit. The GeoSnap VN-TC augments Tetracam cameras to create a truly effective multispectral imaging system that can be mounted and used on any suitable aerial platform.

The unit fits on to the ADC Micro (pictured at left), the ADC Lite (pictured below left), and Mini-MCA systems (pictured below right).
