E N D
The Inertial Navigation System • Provides locational and directional data. • Location determined by a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. • Direction determined by an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). • Important information to have for this kind of camera system.
Considering the Options • Still at initial stages of consideration. • D3 suggested two brands: The MicroStrain 3DM & the NovAtel SPAN. • Both can be used with RS232 port.
Enclosure Consideration • Some models contain the GPS and IMU in a single unit, others separate them. • May have noteworthy impact on size and design of the system enclosure.
Price Consideration • Not an inexpensive device: • Basic 3DM: $745.00 • 3DM-GX1: $1495.00 • Will not need most advanced unit for our purposes.
