Applanix A Trimble Company
In just a few short years, Applanix has emerged as a high-tech
leader in the field of integrated inertial/GPS technology for
commercial applications. Founded in 1991 it has evolved from an
engineering services provider to the Aerospace and Defense
sector, to a developer of highly sophisticated off-the-shelf
Position and Orientation (POS) systems for various commercial
industrial applications. With the development, marketing and
sales of these products, Applanix has developed expertise and
gained a solid reputation in its niche markets, which is unique
worldwide. No other company has been able to offer a complete
turnkey solution that provides absolute position and
orientation, and provides the same quality and accuracy as that
of our systems.
In the spring of 2000, Applanix was named number 90, of the top
100 most profitable companies by Profit Magazine. The company
also received the Top Exporter Award from FedEx Canada.
Applanix has integrated inertial navigation methods with GPS
(Global Positioning System) technology, to create systems that
measure very accurately the position and orientation of moving
vehicles in dynamic environments. Our leading-edge technology
replaces more traditional, less cost-effective and less accurate
surveying methods in applications such as road profiling and
surveying, aerial photography, railroad surveying, and marine
mapping.
Applanix has made a significant impact on the surveying and
mapping community. Not only have we changed the way in which
measurements are taken, but we have also opened up entirely new
applications that have never before been possible, such as
airborne laser scanning. The innovative quality of our products
enables other companies to innovate, as we provide an essential
component of their system. Without POS, data collected by such
sensors as airborne laser scanners would be unusable.
Because our products provide real-time digital data as the
survey vehicle is moving, accurate three-dimensional models and
maps can be turned around very quickly. What previously took
weeks or months can now be accomplished in a matter of hours,
resulting in substantial cost savings, and greater efficiency of
operations.

Products
Pos Av
Pos Lv
POS LV - Position and Orientation System for Land Vehicles -
is an aided inertial system that generates accurate
real-time position and orientation data used in conjuction with
van-mounted road sensors to enable surveys of highway quality
to be carried out at normal traffic speeds.
Pos Tg
POS TG - Position and Orientation System for Rail Track
Geometry - is an aided inertial system that
generates accurate real-time position and orientation data
used in track geometry cars to enable faster, more efficient
studies of railbed conditions.
Pos Mv
POS MV (Position and Orientation System for Marine Vessels) is
an aided inertial system designed specifically for integration
with multibeam sonar systems for the production or seafloor
maps. It is currently in use with several of the world's
largest commercial, academic and military marine survey
organizations.
Integrated Inertial/Gps Position & Orientation Sys
Pos Ls
POS LS - The Position and Orientation System for Land Survey is
a backpack-portable aided inertial positioning system, designed
for use in the most challening positioning environments. The
self-contained inertial sensor allows POS LS to provide accurate
positioning data under urban or tree canpy, in buildings and
even under ground.
Dss Digital Sensor System
A mapping quality alternative to large-format sensors, the DSS is a ready-to-use, medium format, digital camera system. It is specifically designed to generate directly georeferenced digital imagery, for aerial survey and remote sensing applications requiring a fast, cost-effective solution.
