Accurate mapping and geo-referencing require reliable position and orientation data, particularly when GNSS signals become unreliable or temporarily unavailable. Epson's high-performance MEMS IMUs provide precise motion and orientation information that can complement GNSS, LiDAR, cameras and other positioning technologies in demanding mapping applications.
AMCORIS supports engineers in developing inertial sensing solutions for aerial surveying, corridor mapping, mobile mapping and autonomous systems – combining Epson sensor technology with application-focused integration and design-in expertise.
Use Case Overview
Mapping systems combine multiple sources of positioning and environmental data to create accurate spatial representations of the real world. Precise orientation information is particularly important for airborne and mobile mapping systems, where even small errors in attitude can accumulate into significant positioning and geo-referencing errors.
Epson MEMS IMUs provide continuous roll, pitch and yaw measurements that can be combined with GNSS, LiDAR, cameras, odometry and SLAM algorithms. This enables robust positioning and orientation estimation during dynamic motion and helps maintain mapping accuracy when GNSS availability is temporarily reduced.
