Getting the setup of your inertial navigation system right is fundamental to gathering good mobile mapping data. Getting it wrong, can lead to bad or incomplete data. Sometimes that can be rectified in post-processing \u2013 but not always. So learning how to set up an INS for mobile mapping correctly is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your mobile mapping payload works as it should.<\/h5>\n\n\n

In this blog,\u00a0<\/span>we\u2019re<\/span> covering how to set up an INS for mobile mapping, specifically an OXTS INS, both on a land-based platform and an aerial vehicle such as a drone \u2013 so you can get the best possible data from your survey. <\/span>We\u2019ve<\/span> designed our devices to be as simple to set up as possible, from antenna placement and device configuration to boresight calibration for LiDAR surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: This blog is intended as a guide<\/span> to setting up OXTS INS hardware in general terms; for specific details of how to set up our devices, please download the relevant product manual.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

1) Pre-installation checklist<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The first thing to do is to make sure you have all the components you need, including your device, any mounting equipment you need, <\/span>your surveying sensor<\/span>, GNSS antennas, and so on<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It may sound\u00a0<\/span>obvious,<\/span>\u00a0but you will need to ensure there is room for both the GNSS\/INS and the LiDAR on the platform (this can be trickier with\u00a0<\/span>SWaP<\/span>-constrained platforms such as drones).\u00a0<\/span>You will also need a way to connect the sensors; we usually rely on a network switch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are various accessories<\/a><\/span> available from OXTS that you can use to help get your setup right, including mounting<\/span>\u00a0struts and antenna mounts for land-based vehicles. Additionally,\u00a0<\/span>a tape measure is vital as you will need to measure the distances between your various components to store in your configuration file later.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re missing any components, or aren\u2019t sure what you need, our support team can give you advice on how to set up an INS for mobile mapping.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
