SIRIUS PRO Aerial Mapping System.
High accuracy without ground control
The Sirius Pro delivers highly accurate aerial mapping results using
GNSS-RTK. Achieving 5cm accuracy without Ground Control Points (GCP)
means an increase in productivity when compared to other solutions.
In the traditional approach, placing GCPs and measuring them adds a
significant amount of extra time and cost to the project; the time dealing
with GCPs can be more than 50% of the whole project time. On projects
where the ground area access was impossible or extremely limited,
providing high accuracy mapping was a serious problem. Without
enough GCPs it was hard to match the accuracy requirements set by your
customer – rendering projects uneconomical.
Instead of GCPs, Sirius PRO uses GNSS RTK in combination with precision
timing technology to determine the exact location for each of the
positions at which a photo is taken. This precise positioning technology
allows the image locations to be used as the equivalent of GCPs.
Work in mountainous areas
Flight plan automatically adapts to an
elevation model
Cover areas that require more
than one flight
Save up to 30% flight time for large UAS
missions: Flight plan splits up automatically
and rejoins for post processing
Simple hand launch
The UAS is directly launched by hand, no
catapult etc. is necessary
Land in areas where automatic
landing is impossible
If obstacles or the dimensions of the landing
area prevent automatic landing, the
operator can easily land autopilot assisted.
The UAS is stabilized by the autopilot and
manually controlled by simple up/down,
left/right commands
Wind
The UAS is fully operational with wind of up
to 50 km/h (approx. 7Bft) with gusts up to 65
km/h (approx. 8Bft)
Rain
Use the UAS even in rain.
Temperature
Operate the system in hot or cold outside
temperatures from -20°C to +45°C
Light
High quality camera performs exceptionally
well under low light conditions
Auto Pilot and Assisted Flying
The auto pilot enables the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) to fly
autonomously. It steers the UAS during launch, flight and landing.
The assisted mode allows simple left/right, up/down commands supported
by the auto pilot. This unique feature allows even unexperienced pilots to
safely steer and land the plane manually.
SIRIUS PRO Project Workflow
The Sirius Pro comes with all software for a complete workflow.
Flight Planning
Plan the flight by using the Desktop flight
planning software. The flight starts after the flight
plan is transferred to the UAS.
Image Acquisition
During the flight the controller software ensures
that the UAS autonomously follows the track that
was planned before takeoff. The onboard camera
captures images automatically and these are
stored on the UAS.
Post Processing
After the flight single pictures are post
processed into orthophotos and DEMs.
These can then be easily analysed using
ImageMaster software.
