Quantum-Systems GmbH, a number one Munich-based drone manufacturer, has unveiled an modern survey-grade UAV solution in collaboration with Phase One and Trimble. The Phase One P5 128-megapixel camera has been seamlessly integrated into Quantum Systems’ flagship Trinity Pro mapping drone, marking a big advancement in UAV-based mapping and surveying capabilities.
The development and surveying industry faces challenges: including time constraints, resource limitations, and potential costly fines attributable to project delays. Traditional surveying methods are sometimes time-consuming and will fail to fulfill the required data quality standards. A shortage of surveyors within the industry has contributed to those problems.
Quantum Systems’ Trinity Pro UAV, with over 75,000 flight hours of proven reliability, offers a light-weight design and prolonged flight capabilities, increasing productivity and helping address the shortage of surveyors. The Trinity Pro enables rapid surveying of large-scale areas with a single flight, offering a ground speed of as much as 18 m/s and operational altitudes starting from 60 to 120 meters AGL.
The Phase One P5 camera is purpose-built for aerial surveying via drones, offering industry-leading resolution and accuracy while meeting metrical calibration standards. This camera seamlessly integrates into the Trimble Business Center (TBC) workflow, setting a brand new standard for engineering surveying.
The combination of the Phase One P5 camera into Quantum Systems’ Trinity Pro UAV provides construction engineering professionals with survey-grade data accuracy, high detail, and accuracy, minimizing post-processing efforts and streamlining data collection. The collaborators hope that the joint solution will provide a necessary tool for construction engineering, improving efficiency and productivity.
Robert Leake, Head of Business Sales at Quantum Systems, expressed the importance of this collaboration, saying, “We’re proud to introduce a pioneering solution that not only addresses the profound challenges faced by the surveying and construction industry but additionally sets latest benchmarks for efficiency and precision. Our collaboration with Phase One and Trimble has yielded a game-changing survey-grade UAV solution. Achieving this level of quality, detail, and accuracy inside a fixed-wing platform is a primary within the industry. We’re opening latest horizons for engineering surveying professionals, and we’re excited to be on the forefront of this revolutionary step forward.”
The Phase One P5 Camera is on the core of the answer. The P5 has 128-megapixel resolution for exceptional precision and data reliability. Michael Messerschmidt, Director Product Management Unmanned at Phase One, emphasized the camera’s efficiency, stating, “Each Phase One P5 camera undergoes factory metric calibration and is supplied with a calibration certificate. When integrated with the Trinity Pro system, the Phase One P5 swiftly and accurately covers large survey areas, leading to significant time and price savings in comparison with traditional mapping and surveying methods.”
The electronic global shutter, precisely calibrated lenses, and sensor reduce the necessity for extensive post-processing and software corrections, ensuring the preservation of high-quality data.
With the launch of the Phase One P5 camera and the entire survey-grade UAV solution, Quantum Systems, Phase One, and Trimble are offering professionals in the sphere of aerial engineering surveying the chance to work with unmatched precision, providing data of remarkable accuracy for a wide range of applications.
