Aerial surveying and drone photogrammetry is rapidly becoming a vital part of any surveyor’s toolkit. Thousands of people use drone site flyovers every day to help boost efficiency and lower costs.

With Carlson PhotoCapture drone photo processing software, you can use flyover data to:
• Quickly generate interactive 3D maps of sites
• Capture highly accurate 3D site data in point clouds, orthophotos, and more
• Integrate LiDAR data from aerial or ground sources into photogrammetry projects
• Share site maps with customers – anywhere, anytime!
• Save man-hours in the field

GNSS CAPABILITIES
• Advanced multi-frequency, multi-constellation (GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BeiDou + QZSS) RTK GNSS performance with Carlson’s proprietary next-generation RTK engine, Gama
• Balanced & ergonomic; 25+% lighter than typical GNSS setups – ~6 lbs (2.7 kg) with tablet, cradle, pole, and antenna
• Gather live, centimeter-level positions directly into an Esri database with zero post processing
• Operate handheld without a pole for fast GIS work

Hybrid+ CAPABILITIES

The RTk5+ can be equipped with a specialized prism and used with the SurvPC Hybrid+ Module and any Carlson-supported robotic total station to take advantage of simultaneous GNSS and laser surveying.

Carlson Hybrid+ features include:

Follow Me: An alternative to optical tracking, follow Me continuously turns the total station towards the prism using the GNSS location.

Smart Lock: Automatically detects when you are slowing to take a measurement and locks on the prism

Smart Staking: Use the GNSS receiver as you make your way to your stakeout point; when you get close, the total station will automatically turn and lock on the prism for final staking precision

Cross Check: SurvPC will automatically cross-check your total station and GNSS positions and warn you when they differ

Hybrid-Resection: Setup anywhere using GNSS positions to calculate the total station occupied point and orientation; measurements from the GPS and RTS are time-synchronized for an accurate and simple one-tap resection measurement

The new release, boasting numerous improvements to existing features and many completely new capabilities, brings greater efficiency, enhanced data visibility, and a smoother user experience to land surveyors, engineers, and construction and GIS professionals.

“SurvPC 7 is a major update that puts more power in the hands of people working on site,” said Sarah Winter, Director of Carlson’s Field Software Programming Division. “It’s really a big step forward in field software, done without sacrificing the familiar efficient look and structure our users know.”

The new version comes loaded with new functionality, from the advanced averaging features that help users improve their GPS solutions and satisfy stringent survey requirements for GPS-collected data, to better reports, least squares adjustment in the field, and Esri ArcGIS capabilities. Completely new modules have been introduced for utilizing BIM files in the field, monitoring, and tunneling.

The advances in SurvPC 7 take advantage of the processing power of Windows 10 or 11. Carlson SurvCE, which runs on the discontinued Windows CE mobile platform, will continue to be supported, but will not receive major updates past version 6. SurvCE users will have the ability to crossgrade to SurvPC on compatible hardware.

A full list of compatible instrument drivers can be found at survpc.com/supportedHardware.

• SurvNet least squares adjustment in the field
• BIM Support for viewing and 2D/3D staking (IFC and RVT)
• Esri ArcGIS Online integration
• Enhanced graphical averaging with full data visibility
• Customizable report generation with field email option
