OxTS Georeferencer is a software tool developed by OxTS to combine INS navigation data with raw LiDAR data. It can be used alongside any OxTS Survey INS to create a georeferenced 3D Pointcloud.

OxTS Georeferencer takes a file collected with a LiDAR scanner (synchronised in real-time with an OxTS inertial navigation system), a processed navigation trajectory file from the OxTS INS, and some required configuration files, to create a LAS pointcloud file that can be viewed in many 3rd party LiDAR software packages.

Furthermore, thanks to our experience in calibration techniques, we have been able to develop a data-driven technique that helps system integrators and end users to start their work with confidence that their INS and LiDAR hardware has been installed precisely and accurately. This is the boresight calibration feature.

 

 

We offer the software free to download and provide example data for testing purposes. Using the data you can go through the process of georeferencing a pointcloud and use the boresight calibration tool to practise setting up your survey. You can download the test data and software from our support site and also view several support articles to help you get up and running – OxTS support site

We greatly value our customer’s feedback. Your feedback helps us drive the development of future products. If you have used OxTS Georeferencer please tell us about your experience by completing our feedback form here – OxTS Georeferencer feedback

OxTS Pointclouds

Case Studies and Brochures

Case Study: Klau Geomatics

Klau Geomatics required a way of boresighting the sensors on a new aerial surveying and mapping payload they were developing. Once boresighted, they then needed to somehow georeference the data to create an accurate pointcloud.

They turned to OxTS to help them create a solution that would ‘bridge the gap’ between their LiDAR data and non-OxTS navigation data.

 

Read Case Study

Case Study: Ordnance Survey

Ordnance Survey Case Study

Ordnance Survey were in need of a quicker, scalable and more cost effective way to collect georeferenced pointcloud data. They engaged with OxTS and local channel partner Datron Technology to understand what was achievable.

As a result they were able to create highly accurate pointclouds and reduce costs all whilst improving the efficiency of their mobile mapping operations.

 

Read Case Study

Case Study: Dronezone srl

Dronezone Case Study

To ensure passenger safety, OxTS Partner Dronezone were tasked with scanning an aging railway bridge to identify potential weaknesses in its structure.

Once they made the decision to survey the bridge using a UAV, there were a number of challenges they faced, specifically around payload weight, flight time, data processing and pointcloud accuracy. This case study details how they overcame them.

OxTS Boresight Calibration Brochure

Boresight Calibration Brochure

Failure to align the coordinate frames of an INS and LiDAR sensor precisely enough can lead to blurring and double-vision in pointclouds.

OxTS’ experience in calibration techniques has allowed us to develop a data-driven approach to boresighting. The method gives users the ability to calibrate the coordinate frames of their INS and LiDAR to a tenth of a degree in minutes.

LiDAR Surveying Brochure

LiDAR Surveying Brochure

OxTS inertial navigation systems provide users with absolute position and highly accurate inertial measurement information. This information allows them to georeference pointclouds from multiple LiDAR sensors.

These measurements help increase survey repeatability, cut down the time to survey, intelligently analyse data, improve final results and increase project ROI.

OxTS Georeferencer Process Flow

OxTS Georeferencer’s main function is to synchronise and fuse the OxTS INS and LiDAR data sets.

A LiDAR sensor can sense range to a target, but it has no internal knowledge of when or where it is, or where it has moved to since the last scan occurred. This is where the INS adds essential information:

  • Nanosecond accurate time (Survey grade GNSS receivers)
  • RTK/PPK accurate position (Survey grade GNSS receivers and tightly-coupled navigation engine)
  • Accurate heading, pitch, and roll (Survey grade IMU sensors)

Thanks to live accuracies being reported as well, the data can be intelligently filtered based on estimated position/orientation accuracy of the INS, allowing you to perform less clean-up of the data in post-processing.

OxTS Georeferencer Process Flow

Time Overlap Chart

The time overlap chart within OxTS Georeferencer gives surveyors the ability to both visualise their survey route on a map and choose the start and end times of their survey.

This feature provides added flexibility when it comes to deciding which parts of the survey they wish to view or present.

 

3D Hardware setup viewer

To help LiDAR surveyors input the correct relative rotation angles of their OxTS INS and LiDAR sensor, OxTS Georeferencer includes a 3D hardware setup viewer.

The LiDAR model in view will change depending on the user’s choice of sensor. This feature enables quick and intuitive survey configuration.

 

Global Coordinates

Process data in a range of coordinate systems including:

  • Local coordinates
  • ECEF
  • LLA (latitude, longitude and altitude)

 

Processing Options

Maximise the usability of pointclouds and minimise data size through a range of processing options.

  • Filter points by uncertainty keeping every point within a specified accuracy
  • Maximise the accuracy of the data while minimising data size with a Voxel sampling algorithm
  • Filter points by intensity and azimuth and elevation angle of the LiDAR
  • Filter points by speed and range from vehicle

Easier to create map files

Allow mesh surfaces to be easily reconstructed by adding the direction from which each point is surveyed into the pointcloud. Furthermore, users can view the vehicle trajectory as a pointcloud.

 

 

Processing advances

Advanced algorithms allows users to process pointclouds faster than ever before. Take advantage of improved precision and consistency of the boresight calibration feature which now utilises target dimensions.

Boresight Calibration

Boresight calibration is an essential part of INS and LiDAR integration.

If the coordinate systems of the two devices do not match perfectly then the georeferencing of LiDAR data will diverge over longer ranges and result in a less accurate pointcloud.

OxTS Georeferencer includes the ability to boresight supported LiDAR devices in order to ensure the user can produce clean and reliable data every time.

The results of running a boresight calibration are sometimes very clear, and sometimes marginal, but the objective is the same – align all sensors on the vehicle to the same coordinate system to ensure a high level of accuracy, regardless of a predefined test scenario.

A boresighted system allows for complete flexibility over the way you perform a survey.

 

“As an engineer I do not know a simple tool which could precisely measure angles between INS and LiDAR to a tenth of a degree. OxTS has solved this issue elegantly with the use of tools already present for LiDAR surveying. Running a 10 minute data collection between two reflective targets (which are cheap and easy to build) is the most difficult part. Given the well documented OxTS guides the next step is a simple matter of selecting the collected data files in OxTS Georeferencer and pressing the “Run Boresight Calibration” button. It really is as simple as that and after specifying the calculated angles the pointcloud accuracy improved significantly even visible to the human eye”

Andri Karo, Systems Integration Specialist, Skycorp Oü

Boresight Calibration Brochure

Precisely calibrating the angles between your survey (LiDAR, camera) and navigation (INS) devices is a critical part of any survey. If the angles aren’t measured precisely enough, it can have a negative effect on your final results.

Employing a data-driven technique can help you quickly and easily overcome this challenge.

Read the OxTS Boresight Calibration brochure to learn how this can be achieved.

Webinar: Improving LiDAR surveying applications with a data-driven approach to hardware set-up

OxTS Webinar Image

Earlier this year we presented a webinar where we discussed using data for boresight calibration. During the webinar attendees had the opportunity to:

  • Learn why this calibration is so important.
  • Understand how adopting a data-driven technique to calibration can help you streamline operations and increase ROI.
  • See example before and after calibration results.

The webinar was recorded and you can watch it back here.

Boresight comparison slider

Comparison1 – Full environment pointcloud

The below ‘full environment’ pointcloud clearly shows the difference between a boresighted and unboresighted pointcloud. The ‘before’ example suffers from blurring and double vision whereas the boresighted ‘after’ example is much clearer and the blurring and double vision has been eliminated.

Comparison2 – Targets only

The below before and after examples clearly show the difference between a boresighted and unboresighted pointcloud.

The examples below show two 80 cm x 80 cm square targets. In the ‘before boresight’ example you can clearly see the targets suffer from double vision and appear as four. However, once the angles between the INS and the LiDAR sensors have been calibrated using a data-driven technique, the double vision has been completely eliminated and the two targets are clearly visible and much sharper.

Comparison3 – Roadside survey

The view here shows a cross-section of a street taken during a roadside survey. In the ‘before boresight’ example it is clear to see that there is a discrepency in the angles measured between the east and west passes of the street.

However, in the ‘after boresight’ example the east and west passes are almost identical leading to a much clearer, precise pointcloud.

Check if your LiDAR device is supported for Boresighting and Georeferencing by taking a look at the ‘supported devices’ tab or by downloading the OxTS LiDAR Survey brochure

OxTS Georeferencer – now ready for any INS

Originally developed for use with OxTS navigation data only, OxTS Georeferencer is now available to use alongside any INS.

OxTS Georeferencer will take the navigation data from a third party INS (position, heading, pitch/roll etc.) and allow users to quickly and easily georeference raw LiDAR data from multiple sensor families. The resulting data can then be viewed in many pointcloud viewer software packages.

OxTS Georeferencer unlocked process map

Furthermore, users of OxTS Georeferencer, will now also be able to take advantage of the boresight calibration feature irrespective of the INS and LiDAR combination they’re using.

Request a free 14 day trial license of the ‘UNLOCKED’ version of OxTS Georeferencer and use the anyNAV feature to create an accurate 3D pointcloud using your own navigation data.

The software versions in this table relate to the following software version numbers – 1.0 = 20.1.15.34193, 1.2 = 21.0.15.0 and 1.4 = 21.06.04.0.

Please ensure you are using the latest firmware offered by the manufacturer unless it is stated otherwise that you need a different firmware.

NOTE: 3rd party INS devices are not supported due to the data manipulation for synchronisation and quality assurance; specific accuracy and status messages from NCOM are required for processing.

We are currently working on making many more LiDAR sensor models and manufacturers compatible with OxTS Georeferencer and the boresight tool. If you are interested in other LiDAR sensors being supported by OxTS Georeferencer, contact us at info@oxts.com. We may already be planning to integrate the sensor you want!

Example Pointclouds

The below pointcloud examples have been produced using OxTS Survey Inertial Navigation Systems and a Velodyne VLP-16 LiDAR sensor. The data was georeferenced using OxTS Georeferencer.

The example pointcloud data is free to download and use.

Open Road

This data was collected using an OxTS xNAV INS and a Velodyne VLP-16.

The LiDAR was mounted to the rear window of the vehicle in order to create the highest density view of the road surface in the resulting pointcloud.

Raw data files

The below raw data files are free for users to download and use. OxTS Georeferencer requires a LiDAR file (pcap or lcom), a navigation data file (ncom) and hardware configuration files (lip, lir and vat).

There are a number of raw data files available to use. These are from a survey completed using an OxTS Survey+ v3 INS and a Velodyne VLP-16 LiDAR.

Raw data files can be downloaded here

  • There are two NCOM navigation files. One of these is the full survey that includes both the boresight and the road survey. The other is cropped for the boresight only.
  • There are two LCOM LiDAR data files. One of these is the road survey and one is the boresight. These do not have to be recorded separately.
  • There are both calibrated and uncalibrated configuration files that have been calibrated using the boresight calibration functionality.
  • There is one VAT configuration file.
