CHC Navigation Introduces the i89: A Compact, Efficient, Pocket-Sized Visual IMU RTK Receiver
EXTREME GNSS PERFORMANCE VISUAL POWER ON TOP
CHC Navigation (CHCNAV), a global leader in geospatial solutions, has introduced the i89, a premium, compact IMU-RTK GNSS receiver with visual surveying and 3D modeling capabilities. The i89 GNSS module, powered by CHCNAV iStar 2.0 algorithms, incorporates advanced ionospheric modeling algorithms to achieve high-integrity RTK fix positioning, which is especially critical in regions of intense solar activity. The integration of video photogrammetry into the CHCNAV i89 represents a significant leap forward in achieving comprehensive 3D mapping and surveying projects. More than just an add-on capability, this integration effectively bridges 3D GNSS IMU-RTK surveying and 3D LiDAR + RGB airborne surveying, combining complementary data sources for a more accurate visual representation.
"The i89 Visual GNSS Rover is an ideal solution for surveyors looking to perform high-precision 3D surveying and modeling tasks quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively." Said Rachel Wang, Product Manager at CHC Navigation. "In the era of convergence towards 3D surveying, mapping, and engineering, the CHCNAV Visual GNSS RTK Series is proving to be the affordable 'must have' surveying system that enables field crews to perform a wide range of tasks from simple point measurement to complex volume calculation and joint 3D reality capture."
