End-to-end workflows
- 01Surveying & Mapping
Feature survey with capturRTK™
Points, lines and photos in one pass with a tilt-compensated RTK rover.
- Capture
- TS30 on the pole with a base or TAP™ corrections. Walk and code the features; photo-tag with capturRTK™ where a picture says more than a code.
- Process
- Check the control points, then clean codes and photo links in the field software.
- Deliver
- Coded feature file for CAD or GIS with the photo record attached.
- 02Surveying & Mapping
As-built surveys
Verify what was built against the design with a robotic total station.
- Capture
- Set up and resect the TAS-Z6 on site control; measure the as-built positions.
- Process
- Compare measured points with the design model and flag deviations beyond tolerance.
- Deliver
- As-built drawing set and a deviation list the client can act on.
- 03Surveying & Mapping
Bathymetric surveys
Riverbeds, ponds and reservoirs mapped from an unmanned survey vessel.
- Capture
- Plan the survey lines, launch The Duck and record depths against RTK positions.
- Process
- Apply water-level and sound-velocity corrections; grid the depths in the project datum.
- Deliver
- Depth model, contours and volumes.
- 04Reality Capture
Scan-to-BIM
Capture existing buildings and turn the point cloud into a BIM model.
- Capture
- Walk the building with the MVP S2. TightSLAM™ keeps the scan anchored to GNSS wherever it is available.
- Process
- Register, clean and classify the cloud; export in the project coordinate system.
- Deliver
- Classified point cloud ready for modelling in the client's BIM tool.
- 05Reality Capture
Underground mine survey
Tunnel mapping where there is no sky, anchored on surface control.
- Capture
- Anchor at the portal on surface control, then scan drives and stopes with the MVP S2.
- Process
- Register the underground scan to the mine grid and merge it with the surface data.
- Deliver
- Drift volumes, convergence checks and as-builts in an open exchange format.
- 06Reality Capture
Forestry inventory mapping
Stem counts, heights and diameters from a handheld scan of the plot.
- Capture
- Define the plots, then scan under canopy with the MVP S1.
- Process
- Extract stems, heights and diameters from the point cloud.
- Deliver
- Inventory report per plot, with the cloud as evidence.
- 07Precision Agriculture
Precision spraying
Repeatable auto-steered passes with TAP™ corrections and section control.
- Capture
- Load the field boundary and prescription; the AG993 auto-steers each pass on TAP™ PPP.
- Process
- Section control switches nozzles at boundaries and overlaps.
- Deliver
- Coverage map and application record per field.
- 08Construction
3D grade control
Excavate to design in real time with GNSS machine control.
- Capture
- Load the 3D design. Dual-antenna GNSS gives heading and position at the bucket tip.
- Process
- Dig to grade with live cut/fill guidance in the cab, to <3 cm RTK.
- Deliver
- Progress and as-dug surfaces to the office with ExtremeSite Manage.
- 09Robotics & Autonomy
Robotic mowers
Boundary-wire-free mowing with a multi-frequency RTK module and dead reckoning.
- Capture
- Integrate the MX206. Multi-frequency GNSS plus wheel-odometry dead reckoning holds position through GNSS gaps.
- Process
- Map the lawn once; plan the mowing pattern from the RTK boundary.
- Deliver
- Autonomous mowing with full coverage and no boundary wire.
Deliverables and QA
What comes out, and how it is checked
Coordinates you can defend
Every workflow starts on site control and ends in the project datum. Control-point residuals are reported, not hidden.
Point clouds anchored to the grid
TightSLAM™ and capturRTK™ deliverables carry real-world coordinates from capture, so registration is a check, not a rescue.
Reports straight from the field
Field software produces the coverage, deviation or inventory report on the day, with the raw data kept for audit.
Open formats
Deliverables in the formats the client's software already reads.
Every workflow runs on our own stack
Antares™ silicon, ExtremeRTK™, TAP™ PPP, visionRTK™, TightSLAM™ and capturRTK™ — developed at Tersus.
