Surveying

HxGN SmartNet provides increased accuracy for surveyors, enabling work with GNSS/GPS rovers, drones, and 3D laser scanners.

Harnessing the power of advanced technologies, modern surveying integrates tools such as GNSS/GPS rovers, drone surveys, and 3D laser scanning to enable comprehensive and precise data collection. These technologies have brought a new level of efficiency, safety, and detail to surveying, transforming tasks from boundary determination and topographic analysis to 3D model creation and volumetric computations. All these applications rely heavily on one critical factor - accurate geospatial data. However, GNSS alone cannot guarantee the necessary accuracy. HxGN SmartNet offers Network RTK and PPP corrections that refine positioning from metre-level to centimetre-level, establishing the accuracy required to produce high-quality deliverables across GNSS and GPS-enabled applications.


GNSS/GPS rovers

From determining land boundaries to executing topographic and geodetic control surveys, asset mapping, and more, GNSS/GPS rovers make many surveying applications more efficient with one-man operation. In addition to faster work, RTK rovers with tilt compensation and imaging capabilities allow surveyors to measure points from safe distances, keeping them out of harm's way. Given the important role of these tasks, maintaining a high degree of accuracy is critical to quality results. HxGN SmartNet offers GNSS/GPS corrections that mitigate errors and improve positional accuracy from metre-level to centimetre-level. With Network RTK services for all GNSS/GPS devices and PPP corrections for a growing number of RTK rovers, HxGN SmartNet enables surveyors worldwide to achieve reliable precision.

Drone surveys

Drones have revolutionised surveying operations by providing efficient, detailed, and high-resolution aerial data collection for applications like topographic surveys, volumetric analysis, construction progress tracking, and more. The output, whether georeferenced imagery, digital surface models, point clouds, or 3D textured models, rely heavily on the accuracy provided by GNSS/GPS positioning for geospatial precision. HxGN SmartNet's Network RTK corrections enable centimetre-level accuracy, which is crucial in applications where even minor errors can have significant consequences. Through HxGN SmartNet, drone surveys can achieve the high degree of accuracy needed to ensure deliverables reliably represent the surveyed area and meet quality standards.

3D laser scanning

Many surveyors are adding 3D laser scanning to their tool kits and expanding their service offerings to include point clouds and 3D models. For applications like asset mapping, as-built models, and more, high-accuracy GNSS/GPS corrections are crucial to capturing quality, georeferenced data and placing combined scans in a real-world coordinate system. Whether integrated GNSS/GPS on mobile mapping devices, measured ground control points for stationary scanners, or RINEX data for post-processing, HxGN SmartNet has services that help surveyors make the most of reality capture technologies.
