Sanjay Gangal, CEO and president of AECCafe recently conducted an interview with Hans-Martin Zogg, Business Director of Total Stations at Leica Geosystems, which is part of Hexagon. Zogg spoke about the new Leica AP20 AutoPole which is product solution designed to increase the productivity of Leica Total Station users, and boost speed, accuracy and safety on the jobsite.
Sanjay: Tell us about the Leica AP20 AutoPole.
Han-Martin: The Leica AP20 AutoPole is an absolutely unique solution, which we have just announced. The AP20 is an enhancement to the productivity of our Total Station users, and is easy to use. When we develop product solutions at Leica Geosystems, we always want to address actual customer challenges. And with the AP20, we actually address three main customer challenges, which occur when customers are using Total Stations in the Total Station workflow. The first challenge is, when you measure the Total Stations, actually you need to hold the prism pole always vertical. So this slows up the measurement process. (more…)

Amritha Narayanan, Pix4Dcatch Product Manager, provided information on the new ViDoc RTK rover from Pix4D, an industry leader in photogrammetry. The company is announcing the commercialization and worldwide exclusive distribution of the viDoc RTK rover, enabling ground-based RTK-grade 3D scanning with iOS mobile phones and tablets through the Pix4Dcatch app.
Conceived by vigram GmbH., a German company led by professional surveyors, the viDoc RTK rover is designed for accuracy and works with Pix4Dcatch for image acquisition. The hand-held RTK rover is a replacement for more expensive ground surveying equipment but is no less accurate in its mission to to achieve 3D, actionable results. Users can couple the viDoc RTK rover to Pix4Dcatch via Bluetooth and connect to any NTRIP service of their choice. They can walk around their area of interest to acquire high-precision positional data for individual images.
This solution brings together the power of RTK accuracy with the combination of LiDAR and photogrammetry. It can be used with the following support devices: iPad Pro 11 2020, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max equipped with LiDAR sensors.

Better cloud and remote GIS tools, virtual and augmented reality have now blossomed in response to the demands put forth on our industry by the pandemic. Gaining access to analysis-ready geospatial data at a scale and with granularity never before possible is on the horizon. We thought we already knew about digital twins, but now we find out they are finally born? This is the way of the future and much more, we learn by checking in with companies Blue Marble and Omnisci, two companies with a finger on the pulse of what to watch for in geospatial.
