Applications and services based upon GNSS are becoming increasingly embedded in modern society, to the extent that we Europeans, along with much of the rest of the World, have now become critically dependent upon their correct operation. In the event of GNSS problems, telecommunications networks…

As more GNSS satellites will be operational within the next few years, the confidence of the position and timing solution for the user is expected to increase. On the other side from the integrity point of view the user faces new problems. It has to protect itself against more potential failures that might occur…

The Survey of India (SoI) is the pioneer surveying and mapping agency for India. The organisation conducts surveys at regular intervals and generates classified and nonclassified topographic map sheets using a polyconic system of projection. Modern applications are now demanding maps at higher scales and precision.

Acontour map is made up of contour lines and depicts the shape of any portion of the earth surface. A contour line is an imaginary line drawn on the map to connect points with the same elevation or height, above or below the earth surface to form a continuous line shown in brown colour on the map.

Both the eBee and swinglet CAM have been designed with ease of use for the end user in mind. Our drones are hand launched then fly & land fully autonomously. Safety is high on our list of priorities at senseFly, which is why our systems were developed with a foam airframe and rear-mounted propeller to…

The 22nd July 2013 saw the start of the first combined meeting of the Cambridge Conference and UN-GGIM. Both these conferences bring together geospatial leaders from around the world to discuss the pressing matters that are most prominent in this ever changing industry.

Traditionally, photogrammetry required significant manual effort, which limited its utilization. Since digital photogrammetry was introduced, there has been a constant improvement of the camera systems and the processing workflow. More data can now be collected and processed.

It has been a journey

From apprehensions to aspirations,

Enthusiasm to endurance,

Potential to performance.

It is not about desires

But more of deliverables.
