Applanix TrueHeave Technology provides significant cost reductions for POS MV Users

RICHMOND HILL, CANADA - Applanix is pleased to announce that its POS MV product line has been significantly enhanced by the introduction of TrueHeave™ technology. This improved filtering tool provides the hydrographer with a much more accurate heave estimate even in the most challenging survey conditions. This results in a significant reduction in heave artifacts in survey data, and eliminates the need to tune the heave filter to produce optimal results. In addition, TrueHeave dramatically reduces filter settling time as compared to a traditional heave filter, almost completely eliminating the need for line run ins. This means a savings of several minutes per survey line, and translates into a savings of hours or even days worth of labour and vessel costs.

Applanix releases first commercially-available Inertially-Aided RTK positioning system

RICHMOND HILL, CANADA - Applanix is pleased to announce that its POS LV line of products now features Inertially-Aided RTK positioning technology. By using raw satellite data (rather than receiver-computed position) to aid the inertial sensor, Applanix's POS LV products now reacquire RTK lock within seconds after an outage, and can maintain centimeter-level positioning in areas of frequent GPS outages. In fact, data from as few as one visible satellite can be used to aid the inertial solution. Similarly, POS LV users relying on traditional DGPS corrections will experience improved position robustness through areas of intermittent GPS availability.
