Increase surveying productivity with Leica Captivate through imaging and augmented reality

Leica Captivateempowers the Leica Viva TS16 and Leica Nova TS60 total stations as well as the Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation. All three instruments have one thing in common: comprehensive imaging capabilities. This article, along with a more detailed video, describes how imaging and augmented reality work and how these features help to overcome daily surveying challenges and in this way save time and money.

使调查任务更安全和更舒适的设备可大大提高生产力，并迅速支付。每天的困难，例如瞄准陡峭的角度或进行尴尬设置进行测量，花费了宝贵的时间。这种情况并不罕见地调查专业人员。

Aim the instrument without looking through the telescope

Leica Captivate’s imaging capabilities allow the instrument to be steered and aimed without looking through the telescope. Using the live view from an integrated camera, steering and aiming can be done with either the instrument’s display or remotely on the controller.

This improves and speeds up aiming in difficult situations where looking through the telescope is difficult or even impossible. In this way otherwise unfeasible tasks can be completed easily.

由于所有设计或测量数据都可以覆盖为现实视图上的增强现实，因此可以在测量过程中实时进行质量检查。

Furthermore, safety can be increased by fully operating the instrument from a distance and eye fatigue caused by repeatedly sighting through the telescope is reduced.

由于陡峭的测量角，无法通过望远镜看望远镜。使用嵌入的相机将仪器瞄准角落非常容易。

提高速度：图像笔记，完整的电子现场书籍

您是否曾经经历过这样的情况：

• 重要的现场信息在办公室里没有可用
• 现场笔记不完整
• 一个重要的细节是缺少
• 在时间压力很高的同时，无法正确引用草图？

Making field notes during surveying is often still done on paper, which is difficult to do in wet or windy conditions, and can easily become separated from the measurement data or become lost completely.

直接在现场中直接整理您的字段注释：只需拍照，将笔记绘制到照片上，然后将图像链接到测量点。

Leica着迷的成像和素描工具可以有效地帮助克服这种情况。通过使用照片自动记录点，可以轻松地在办公室中识别这些点。迷人的图像注释功能允许直接在现场的照片上素描。任何图像都可以直接链接到测量点，这意味着字段音符与测量结果一起很好地组织和保存。当转移到办公室时，所有信息都迅速可用，并使数据处理效率更高。

Reduces costly site returns: Creation of missing points in the office based on images

Another common situation: A measurement job is finished. Back in the office it turns out that an important point is missing. WithLeica Infinityand the imaging capabilities of Leica Captivate, this problem can be solved within seconds. The only requirement is that at least two images have been captured of the missing point from different setups. Based on these images, any missing measurements can be easily and accurately created. An effective way to reduce costly site returns.

Leica Infinity: This graphic illustrates the selection of the same missing point in two photos, shot from different station setups, which then can be accurately calculated.
