Leica IPAS20

• Provides a significant reduction in the production time and cost of airborne sensor data allowing efficient and automatic data processing
• Increases productivity of geospatial data collection and processing allowing fast turnaround of mapping projects
• Eliminates the need for aerial triangulation (AT) for a wide range of photogrammetric mapping projects, especially in areas where it is difficult to access or perform an AT
• Reduces the need for ground control and facilitates data QA/QC
• Provides reliable and accurate results, plus better use of flying conditions, for more productivity and shorter field operations time

Any System

• Film frame cameras like RC30, RC20
• Digital frame cameras
• Line scanners
• LIDAR sensors
• SAR
• Any other airborne sensor

Anywhere

• Greatest flexibility and support to perform many project types all over the world
• Accommodates several IMU types providing performance, cost and exportability options

Leica IPAS20 Features

Delivers direct georeferencing for airborne sensor data

• Calculates - in real time - position, velocity, roll, pitch and heading at high data rates and accuracies
• The high-accuracy, real-time attitude improves the real-time application performance when used as input for gyro-stabilized mounts

Flexible and scalable airborne system

• Flexible interfaces support various sensor types, as well as multi-sensor systems with up to four sensors
• Choice of different Inertial Measurement Units (IMU)
• Latest GNSS technology including GLONASS
• IPAS20 can grow with technology and your future needs for system compatibility, upgrade, replacement and improved technology 

Highly automated operation and simplified data logging

• Automatic sensor release according to trigger configuration
• Sensor release according to the flight plan when FCMS controlled
• Simplified logging of GNSS/IMU data and events to internal memory and CF cards and/or to an external device via Ethernet

Perfect data interfaces between all workflow tasks

• Streamlined data interface from flight planning to flight evaluation

Powerful IPAS post-processing software

• IPAS Pro software blends IMU data with GNSS trajectory to provide robust, post-mission solutions
• IPAS CO is Camera Orientation software providing the exterior orientation for the camera frames using the IPAS Pro solution

High-quality hardware
