Once you finalize the flight plan (in the office with the FPES software), transfer it to the on-board control computer and link it to the airborne GPS, the ASCOT LCD displays instructions on flying the aircraft during approaches, turns and along the planned flight lines. ASCOT also controls both the gyro-stabilized mount and the camera, including the photo annotation. Outputs include flight reporting and GPS data ready for post-processing or use in triangulation systems.
ASCOT is designed to work with a variety of aerial survey systems, including the RC30 Aerial Film Camera and the PAV30 Gyro-Stabilized Mount.
Features:
- Computer-aided set up of flight lines, photo centers and frame annotation
- Precise camera triggering
- GPS-supported navigation, recording of raw GPS phase measurements and data annotation
- Computer-aided documentation and analysis of photo flights
- Tools such as RINEX conversion, stationary GPS recording, and sun elevation angle display
- Dual camera systems and other multi-sensor configurations
