Ready to Cut Field Time Without Cutting Corners? 

Other applications use GNSS PPK solutions to lower cost, increase accuracy, and verify precision or position without requiring radio signals that complicate equipment requirements, drive costs, and increase the opportunity for detection or interference. InTerra SmarTargets utilize this same PPK technique along with our rapid retrieve solution to download only the necessary CORS data just-in-time to process. InTerra SmarTarget® is Information Accelerated™. No more delays waiting for point control.

"It is very easy to place the targets and get the system in collection mode. No advanced training or special settings, like our other GPS high end units."

XRAM INC
Decatur, Alabama

"It is possible to send out an individual that has no knowledge of GPS settings and have them place these units at key points and turn them on. It is very hard to do this wrong, which is a good thing!"

XRAM INC
Decatur, Alabama

"We did hard core testing of these units against our own high end GPS tools. We tied into the targets with Opus based coordinates and used this for our baseline testing. The subsequent results we obtained using the Interra units were amazing! The x/y/z values met our tight tolerance specifications."

XRAM INC
Decatur, Alabama

"Our end surface results also met our expectations and the client's requirements. The orange and black cloth targets worked well for us, being completely visible in both the colorized Point Cloud and the imagery."

XRAM INC
Decatur, Alabama

"The software was very easy to install. Additionally, it was very easy to unload and process the units. Again, this software does not require that you are an expert on GPS settings or values."

XRAM INC
Decatur, Alabama

"All of our projects are required to be in State Plane coordinates. The Interra toolset allows us to go to a project without having to bring our high end GPS, which requires a specialist that can setup and run the more advanced hardware. Using these tools to capture data and be in the real world location is critical to everything we do because we can backdrop GIS information, such as parcel data, flood plain zones, soil conditions, etc."

XRAM INC

"Well organized, fantastic quality and feel of the units."

TruePoint
Toledo Ohio

"Very portable and easy to setup in the field. Very easy to set all units in the office and link them into a PC. Great that these are also in a good quality box for travel."

TruePoint

"Easy to setup in the field, just placed them on the ground and turned them on."

"The design of the entire system is focused on ease of use, ruggedness, and supporting the personnel in the field."

Xram, Inc
Madison, AL

"Ease of use and having it “just work” by pushing a button allows the field crew to focus on the project and not the equipment."

Xram, Inc
Madison, AL

"Knowing that you will have survey grade data to use at the end of the day without having to use high end and expensive GPS equipment is a plus. And they are well designed to stand up to everyday use in the field."

"The interface is about as simple and straight forward as it can be. So simple, you feel that you are missing something, but you are not. They are just built to work."

Xram, Inc
Madison, AL

"The cloth targets were a plus. Targets are not cheap and having targets come with the system just adds more value. Moreover, having two color schemes for the targets allows us to place them on the various surfaces such that we can ensure when we reduce the data that we can see the targets in the drone collected images."

Xram, Inc
Madison, AL

"The software was downloaded from the InTerra website and installed without any issues or confusing questions. The software was clearly thought out and like the units themselves, it is what I would term “wizard driven” to step an end user through the data reduction process easily."

Xram, Inc
Madison, AL

"Like the units themselves, the developers worked their magic by handling the hard and complex calculations with ease. The interface and data processing capabilities makes it easy on the reduction team to get what they need and focus on the project instead of fighting software. On our first project using the units, we prepared our normal control network using OPUS so that our work would be tied to a known coordinate system. When we deployed the units, we used our GPS RTK units to take shots at the base and top of the InTerra SmarTargets. We wanted to make sure we had an abundance of checks and cross checks on the project as well as the InTerra SmarTargets. Our results indicated the targets processed the data to within 0.1 feet in elevation and were within 1 centimeter on horizontal accuracy."

Xram, Inc
Madison, AL

"Our conclusion was that we can utilize the SmarTargets on future jobs without requiring a $10K GPS rover and cloth or paper targets. We simply set control like normal, distribute the targets, and collect them when we are completed with our flight. Easier, safer, less expensive, and requires less training for personnel."

"The overall concept is great, and is more portable than aeropoints and I do like how your software works to get solutions."

Frontier Precision
Maple Grove, MN

"The system did meet my expectations and did do exactly what you advertised."

Frontier Precision
Maple Grove, MN

"The simplicity is the strength of the setup and the ruggedness of them gave me confidence it wouldn’t fall apart if they were ever dropped."

Frontier Precision
Maple Grove, MN

"The interface was great, didn’t really struggle much with getting it all up and running, the online manual is great, the documentation does the job and explains things well."

Frontier Precision
Maple Grove, MN

"... for the smaller firms, agriculture, people who don’t want to spend or have the real need to spend the 30K+ for a Trimble R12i…this set up is completely solution for GCP/Checkpoints."

Frontier Precision
Maple Grove, MN

"But in the market today RTK/PPK has been much more prevalent, there is still always going to be a need for ground control points for verifications. But there are not many affordable options when it comes to a unit that just collects static data for PPK processing."

"Nothing but good things to say about you and your team"

NOAR Technologies
Clawson, MI

"Included components like data cables, USB hub is convenient and easy to use. Included data cables are perfect for hooking into the units while in the case."

NOAR Technologies

"Extremely easy one button operation. Simple enough to place and power on."

NOAR Technologies

"The two tone cloth targets are highly visible at altitudes up to 400’ AGL."

NOAR Technologies
Clawson, MI

"Simple installation, easy to navigate wizard. Local user version, no subscription would be the easiest to sell and the most popular method among users."

NOAR Technologies
Clawson, MI

"Extremely accurate, comparable to Propeller Aeropoints/surveyed data."

NOAR Technologies
Clawson, MI

"Removing the need for an on-site surveyor is a huge asset to any UAV team. It lowers the cost for the project, makes scheduling easier, and reduces time in the field. InTerra targets are a great way to guarantee the accuracy of any capture. Easy to setup, easy to process, excellent results."
