NEW TRIMBLE R12 RECEIVER BOOSTS SURVEYING PERFORMANCE
Timble introduced the TrimbleR12 GNSS receiver, a high-performance
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying
solution. Powered by an all new Real Time Kinematic (RTK)
and Trimble RTXpositioning engine, it features ground-breaking
Trimble ProPointTMGNSS technology that empowers land surveyors
to quickly measure more points in more places than ever
before. Surveyors who work in challenging GNSS environments
can use the Trimble R12 receiver to help reduce both the time
in the field and the need for conventional techniques such as
using a total station.The new state-of-the-art Trimble ProPoint
GNSS technology allows for flexible signal management, which
helps mitigate the effects of signal degradation and provides a
GNSS constellation-agnostic operation. In head-to-head testing
with the Trimble R10-2 in challenging GNSS environments such
as near and among trees, and built environments, the Trimble
R12 receiver performed more than 30 percent better across a
variety of factors, including time to achieve survey precision
levels, position accuracy and measurement reliability."As a
leader in the field of GNSS technology and innovation, Trimble
dedicated many years of intensive research into developing the
Trimble R12," said Ronald Bisio, senior vice president of Trimble
Geospatial. "This has culminated in a first-class solution,
which enables our users toextend the reach of their systems
to places where other RTK GNSS systems experience degraded
performance."AvailabilityThe Trimble R12 GNSS receiver is available
now through Trimble's Geospatial distribution channel. For

D-SITE - DRONES -
SYSTEMS OF INFOR-
MATION ON CUL-
TURAL HERITAGE
D-SITE is the first International
Conference
dealing with
the use of drones in
the field of Cultural
Heritage. It is directed
to researchers
working in the
field of UAVs production and in the use of drones for Heritage documentation
and for experts that work in this field, finalizing innovative
documentation services that integrate and complete the existing
practice.
In the last few years, the use of UAVs is becoming increasingly important
in many areas related to the science of architectural survey, topography,
engineering and architecture. Used for monitoring and surveying,
drones are an opportunity for the development of increasingly
effective systems for the documentation.
The event aims to provide a framework of the State of Art of this
phenomenon, laying the foundations for the development of innovative
systems of analysis and growth of innovative methodologies with
a multidisciplinary nature.
The use of UAVs is increasingly widespread in activities related to Heritage
documentation. In recent years the development of methodologies
of data integration, obtained through surveys that exploit drones
to reach privileged observation points, has been witnessed by the
numerous computation platforms, software and tools, that populate
the exchange. The definition of increasingly reliable methodologies
and procedures of close-range photogrammetry has produced considerable
results in the survey of Architectural Heritage. Nowadays,
several Universities and Research Centers, together with enterprises,
are working to optimize documentation services whose goal is, in any
case, the representativeness of technical data aimed at the project
development.
Parallel to aerial documentation, even the application of remote
controlled terrestrial drone systems is renewing the inspection and
survey practices in architecture and on territory, overtaking barriers
and access dimensions to sites and contexts in emergency otherwise
impractical for human operators. Surface rovers and submarine robotics,
equipped with controlled cameras and implemented survey devices,
in terms of stability and compartment, contribute to complete
an extremely scientific and innovative field, where the central theme
of robotics applied to Cultural Heritage documentation is expanded
and consolidated in correspondence to the international categories
of UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems), USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicles)
and UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles).
Drones, in the wider terms of their definition, are now used for documentation,
management, protection, maintenance, and monitoring,
integrating imaging systems or measuring instruments that contribute
to define three-dimensional databases on Cultural Heritage. This conference
is promoted with the aim of collecting recent experiences on
that topic and of providing a moment of reflection between academic
and enterprise realities for the promotion of updated frameworks for
the development of research in the architectural survey field.
The event will consist of three days, 17-18-19 June 2021, and it will be
organized through training workshops, exhibition-stands of the main
companies operating in the field of drone production and connected
survey systems that will be able to realize demonstrations and illustrate
the latest news in this field. These events will then be joined by
interventions describing research activities and documentation projects
conducted through the use of drones.
The Conference will be held on 18 and 19 of June, with guest speakers
and participants from organizations and national and international
research institutes that will describe the specific research activities in
the different conference sessions.
