South INNO8

The Unique UAV Photogrammetry Algorithms from SOUTH is Adding 10 Advantages to Traditional GNSS RTK

More Points Collected in Less Time, With Less Blind Spots

More Efficient 10 Advantages than Traditional RTK

• SOUTH Group has accumulated a decade of experience in the development of UAV photogrammetry solutions. This has led to the creation of a unique and efficient photogrammetry algorithm for INNO8. This allows INNO8 to directly collect both image and coordinate data. Users can capture still photos or shoot videos while walking. With just one group of photos or a video, users can obtain coordinates for all target points within the measurable range, measuring hundreds of points in few minutes.
• Compared to traditional photogrammetry equipment, INNO8’s data acquisition speed is faster. A er collecting photos or videos, users can perform real- me automatic processing by using data collection App on controller. This allows users to obtain coordinates without the need for PC post-processing software, especially in me-sensitive situations.
• Compared to traditional RTK, INNO8 has a broader working range and fewer blind spots. By photogrammetry function, surveyors can remotely measure points that are without GNSS signal or poor signal quality, from a well-signaled position. Points without satellite signals, such as spaces under rooftops, can now be measured. Previously challenging blind spots or places with severe multipath effects like dense tree areas or construction sites to Traditional GNSS RTK with multiple obstacles, are now easier to measure.

Easy to Learn, Effortless to Use, and Uncomplicated for Re-measurement

More User-friendly than Traditional RTK

• When surveyors process photos in the controller App, they simply need to click on the same point in just three photos to calculate the coordinates. This operation is quite easy to learn.
• A notable feature of photogrammetry is labor-saving. When using INNO8, surveyors can achieve remote measurements at distances of up to 10 meters or even more (in ideal condition), eliminating the need to physically approach each measurement point. This working method significantly saves the surveyor’s physical effort, reducing the labor involved in fieldwork.
• In cases some data needs to be remeasured, surveyors do not have to return to the field. They can simply click on the saved photos to obtain coordinates, making re-measurement a hassle-free process.

Wide Applications, Abundant Output, Satisfying Return in Investment

More Versatile Traditional RTK

• Utilizing visual positioning, surveyors can work at a rapid pace in the field. Image data can be stored for a long period and reused at any time. These features are particularly suitable for unconventional GNSS measurement tasks such as recording accident scenes and excavation sites for urban public facilities.
• When using in conjunction with SOUTH UAV, SGO, or other third-party post-processing software, INNO8 not only outputs coordinates but also various types of data such as images, 3D models, point clouds, and supports multiple coordinate systems. This feature meets your diverse application needs for various types of data and provides a richer output of results.
• Considering the investment perspective, INNO8 stands out as a more cost-effective and versa le op on for surveying tasks, compared to other measurement equipment such as laser scanners.

Your Safety, We Care

Safer than Traditional RTK

• During measurements along the edges and central areas of busy roads, safety risks are present for surveyors. To minimize these risks, surveyors can utilize INNO8 visual positioning to maintain a safe distance from hazardous locations while completing their work, ensuring maximum safety.
• During measurements, the potential hazards of conducting surveys near water bodies, like rivers and lakes, should not be underestimated. Visual positioning aids users in mi ga ng risks in comparable scenarios, ensuring their safety. Ensuring a secure working approach is not just a personal requirement but also a necessity for the well-being of your family.

Three Types of Image Data Processing Modes

— Carefully Designed for Your Challenging Work Requirements

Cloud Server Online Processing, Balancing Performance and Efficiency

Designed for Urban Surveying

When surveyors have a high-quality internet connection, they can process image data online through the network and cloud servers. INNO8 can obtain coordinate data for image measurements with 2cm accuracy in just a few minutes. This processing mode balances high accuracy and fast processing speed.

Data Controller Offline Processing, What You See is What You Get

Designed for Field Surveying

When outside the coverage area of internet, surveyors can achieve offline processing of image data through the data controller app. This processing mode boosts the fastest processing speed by saving me of uploading image data, providing 4cm accuracy results within 30 seconds.

Desktop Software Processing, Leave More Time for Fieldwork

Designed for Users with Tight Fieldwork Schedules

Sometimes, surveyors have limited me for fieldwork and need to collect the maximum amount of data in the shortest possible me. In such cases, they can choose not to process data on-site but instead use desktop data post-processing software to process image data a er returning to the office. This working mode offers richer measurement and calculation functionalities, comprehensive data applications, allowing users to focus on data collection outdoors, achieving the highest point acquisition speed, and making the most of their me.

3D Modeling—Broadening Your Working Power is Our Duty and Privilege

One-Man 3D Modeling

Eyes on Now, Be Prepared for Future

With INNO8, single-user standalone opera on is sufficient to achieve 3D modeling, visually presenting geographic information data such as coordinates, areas, and volumes. Model data can be transformed into different formats and applied with various coordinate parameters based on actual needs, making it adaptable to a wider range of application scenarios.

Complement for UAV Survey Data

Ensuring a Smooth Journey for Your Success

SOUTH’s 3D modeling technology are fully utilized and transformed in INNO8. The results of image measurements by INNO8, can be seamlessly integrated with data outcomes from DJI and other brand UAV. UAV surveys often face challenges of data gaps, leading to incomplete model outcomes. In such cases, surveyors can use INNO8 to collect image data on the ground and incorporate it into aerial survey data as a supplement, thereby enhancing the overall model outcome.

One Data, Multiple Uses

Work in Your Preferred Way

Surveyors can import the data outcomes from INNO8 into SOUTH UAV and other third-party modeling software for 3D modeling. SGO (PC version) and SurvStar (Android App) will also support 3D modeling function in the future. Users can choose the software that best suits the current scenario and task requirements to achieve the highest work efficiency.

AR Stakeout

Stakeout with Intuitively Live-view Video Display

Experience INNO8 AR stakeout by following the real- me, real-scene guidance on the data controller display without continuously watching on the compass or leveling the pole. In addition to points, INNO8 can handle staking out lines and curves with AR, which broaden its applications and is suitable for more complex work demands. With AR stakeout, you can now achieve quick and precise stakeouts with ease.
