AUSA 2024: Quantum-Systems targets big 2025 with UAS developments
Quantum-Systems has been upgrading its UAS family, with new versions of the Vector, Reliant and Twister drones set for release throughout 2025.
Remote GeoSystems will provide direct support in all LineVision Desktop, Server and Cloud applications for the DJI Inspire 1 UAVs for HD and UltraHD video capture, the company announced on 20 August.
The newly launched capability enables operators of the DJI Inspire 1 and other commercial UAVs to create and deliver professional-grade, interactive video survey and inspection work products using GIS and CAD software such as Google Earth, Bing Maps, PLS-CADD and Esri ArcGIS Platform.
The development means that operators of supported systems only need to enable .SRT file logging during flight video recording. LineVision will enable operators to load or upload the video and GPS track of the flight to a map once the flight is complete. A cursor moves along the uploaded GPS track as the video plays, and users can click on points on the GPS track to navigate the video recording.
LineVision also features import/upload and ‘one-click’ geo-referencing of all the rich media, such as audio, photos, PDF, CAD files and Microsoft Office files. It features flexible mapping options, which allows the operator to incorporate and ‘stream’ background maps and data layers from their enterprise GIS and third-party map service providers.
All important data types can be saved in a proprietary Remote GeoSystems file for data portability and analysis in LineVision software.
