Version 4.0 of Applanix's industry-leading aided inertial post-processing software has arrived

RICHMOND HILL, CANADA - Applanix is pleased to announce the release of POSPac 4.0, the latest update to the company’s industry-leading aided inertial post-processing software. With several significant enhancements over previous versions, POSPac 4.0 promises to further build on previous augmentations to the user interface, while maximizing users’ success in extracting the best possible position and orientation data from logged aided inertial data.

In addition to all the capabilities found in previous releases and several new enhancements, POSPac 4.0 contains the following significant additions:

A new Position and Orientation System Calibration (POSCal) capability has been added to the POSEO (Exterior Orientation) module. This substantial enhancement computes the camera/IMU boresight angles and camera calibration parameters directly, eliminating the need for 3rd party aerotriangulation.

The new batch processing mode allows automated post-processing of multiple data sets. After specifying the location of raw data files and base station coordinates, the user can leave the computer unattended and perform other vital job functions. POSPac will automatically compute the smoothed solutions, optimizing filter settings for each data set without user intervention.

Commenting on this release, Tatyana Bourke, POSPac Product Manager said “at Applanix, we understand our customers’ need to maximize their return on time invested in both survey and data processing operations. With that in mind, we have focused our developments in version 4.0 on providing our users with tools to streamline their data processing operations. I believe that our enhanced POSEO module and batch processing capabilities will meet just that goal.”
