Leica Aibot v2.0 with oblique workflow

2020年9月，新版本2.0发布了Leica Aibot。这对测量师意味着什么？

New in Aibot v 2.0

With previous versions releases, we have focused on making the professional surveyor’s UAV workflows easier and safer while ensuring trusted survey-grade accuracy.

例如，在版本1.4版本中，我们专注于提高安全性和pilot awareness通过添加安全检查和更多遥测数据，以执行自动任务。我们还添加了Zeiss Ventum 21mm镜头的工作流程，并进行了许多小改进，以使workflow better for the surveyorswith, e.g. better integration between flight planning and execution and easier identification of the different missions for more efficient repeatability.

To ensure the surveyors can easily use RTK correction services, in version 1.5, we added theGNSS setup and managementto Leica Aibot skyCAPP app. Now, everything is managed in the same app from missions to settings and configurations. We also included asmoother workflow for support。如果需要支持，则用户可以在直接的任务中获取所有需要的文件。在所有版本中，我们还始终包括许多增强功能，以确保数据的准确性更好。

Now, it was time for a new version with a more significant leap. Among other smaller improvements, version 2.0 includes the much anticipatedoblique workflow。The oblique settings span over the entire workflow: planning, execution and data processing.

Here is a point cloud flythrough of a factory area that was captured with Aibot 2.0 in oblique and nadir.

为什么我们需要倾斜图像？

Including both oblique and nadir views together results in a more complete data set especially in areas where you have slopes, walls, vertical objects or building facades. Having the possibility to collect also oblique data reduces the need for additional technologies to collect that missing data.

Also, including oblique images to nadir projects has proven to increase the accuracy of the processed point cloud.

See data example below. A flythrough video in a point cloud that was created using nadir and oblique images collected with Aibot.

How is it done in Aibot?

Oblique imagery is now added to the same carefree workflow of Leica Aibot automated missions, and there is no need to learn a new system.

• 飞行计划：飞行员简单地为计划添加了新的部分，以左/右和后/后/后/后/后/背面的每个方向，并调整摄像头螺距角度以符合站点的需求。由于规划软件知道设置（主机，相机和镜头组合），因此可以根据所需的GSD等不同参数来定义计划。
• 飞行执行：一旦计划已经准备好了并上传到Aibot, pilot sees all needed orientations for each flight and can execute all or some of them. Naturally, also the flight reports show the status of each orientation. With this, the pilot can trust no data is missed.
• 数据处理：飞行数据和图像全部都上传到Leica Infinity中。无穷大将所有数据处理成一个数据集和点云。可以进一步分析无限云或导出以在其他软件中进一步使用。

Using this workflow, the surveyor can plan and execute their missions efficiently while ensuring the same trusted data that they expect for Leica Geosystems.

需要考虑什么？

Of course, more flight sections means more flight time and more images. The bigger the data set becomes, the more users will need processing time for results. It is good to remember that surveyor can choose which areas need to be collected also with oblique images and make the plan based on that. The rest of the area can be covered with only nadir to save time. Everything can be processed into one data set in the office, including terrestrial sensors.

Where do I get more information?

这个版本我们继续发展Aib徕卡ot further as the UAV solution for surveyors. We strive to offer the most trusted, reliable and traceable UAV 3D data for professional surveying applications. Ability to integrate UAV as part of the existing surveying ecosystem unleashes the value of the data collected from the air.
