Applanix

Applanix is a company specializing in the design, manufacture, and support of products and solutions that enable positioning and orientation for mobile mapping and autonomy. Its core expertise lies in integrating technologies such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and other sensors to provide accurate and reliable georeferenced information.

Applanix systems are used in a variety of applications, including:

• Airborne Mapping: Collecting high-accuracy geospatial data from aircraft for applications such as surveying, infrastructure monitoring, and environmental mapping.
• Land-Based Mobile Mapping: Georeferencing data acquired by vehicles equipped with sensors like LiDAR and cameras for applications such as road surveying, city modeling, and asset management.
• Marine Surveying: Determining the precise location and orientation of vessels and underwater vehicles for hydrographic surveys, offshore construction, and resource exploration.
• Autonomous Vehicles: Providing positioning and orientation information for self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and other autonomous platforms.

The company's products typically consist of hardware and software components that work together to process sensor data and generate accurate position, velocity, and attitude (orientation) information. Applanix's POS (Position and Orientation System) technology is a key element in its solutions.

Applanix is a subsidiary of Trimble Inc.
