BEYOND GNSS
Optimized Applications for CloseRange Data Collection
Given that Visual Positioning is most effective within a 2-10 meter range, it is
ideal for close-range surveying tasks. Industries such as construction, utilities,
and pipeline surveying bene昀椀t most
from this technology, where high-precision measurements are required in compact or dif昀椀cult-to-access areas. Key applications include:
• Topographic Surveys in Con昀椀ned Areas – Capture terrain data in locations
where traditional GNSS or total stations may be dif昀椀cult to set up.
• As-Built Documentation of Structures and Equipment – Precisely document site conditions, such as building
facades, infrastructure elements, or
utility placements, without needing direct access.
• Construction Veri昀椀cation – Validate
the placement and alignment of structures, formwork, and prefabricated elements without requiring physical contact.
• Pipeline Surveying – As-built pipeline
data, such as weld locations and joint
information, can be documented without requiring surveyors to enter the
trench, improving safety and ef昀椀ciency.
VISUAL POSITIONING
REPRESENTS A MAJOR
ADVANCEMENT IN SURVEYING,
ENABLING PROFESSIONALS TO
WORK FASTER, SAFER, AND WITH
GREATER PRECISION.
Conclusion
Visual Positioning represents a major advancement in surveying, enabling professionals to work faster, safer, and with
greater precision. With integrated cameras, advanced processing, and seamless
software compatibility, it is revolutionizing how surveyors collect and process
geospatial data. The Leica GS18i is a
prime example of how Visual Positioning is shaping the future of surveying,
enhancing ef昀椀ciency and accuracy in diverse applications.
As the industry adopts 3D Surveying
Work昀氀ows, professionals can take full
advantage of cutting-edge tools that optimize 昀椀eldwork, streamline data processing, and improve project outcomes. For
surveyors looking to maximize productivity and reduce 昀椀eld time while ensuring high-quality data collection, Visual
Positioning is an essential tool in today’s
geospatial industry.
