InTerra Releases “Datum”: A Cutting-Edge GPS Base Station for Precision Drone Surveying

Huntsville, AL – February 10, 2025 – InTerra™, a leader in drone surveying technology, has officially launched Datum, a high-precision GPS Base Station designed to revolutionize ground control for surveyors, construction professionals, and civil engineers. Released today, Datum enhances positional accuracy and streamlines workflows for professionals seeking survey-grade precision with minimal setup time.

Setting a New Standard in Drone Surveying
In the world of construction and surveying, precision is everything. A single miscalculation can lead to costly delays, material waste, and even structural issues. That’s why ground control points (GCPs) play a vital role in ensuring accuracy in mapping and modeling. While GCPs can be sourced from various systems, having a local base for them provides unmatched benefits that can significantly impact the success of a project. Datum is built to address these challenges, offering an integrated solution that eliminates inefficiencies and ensures reliable, repeatable accuracy.

As a seamless companion to InTerra’s™ industry-leading SmarTarget GCPs, Datum delivers real-time correction data, enabling surveyors to achieve sub-centimeter precision in even the most demanding environments. By establishing a local base, Datum provides improved accuracy, reducing errors caused by regional discrepancies in geospatial data and ensuring site-specific customization for more reliable measurements.

“Datum represents a major step forward in simplifying high-accuracy drone surveying,” said Larry Donelson, CEO at InTerra™. “By combining Datum with SmarTarget, we’re providing professionals with a powerful, easy-to-use ecosystem that ensures precision without the usual complexity.”

Key Features of Datum:

Enhanced Accuracy: Provides real-time GNSS corrections to achieve sub-centimeter precision.
Seamless Integration: Designed to work effortlessly with SmarTarget, optimizing workflows.
Rapid Deployment & Efficiency: Reduces setup time, allowing surveyors to start work immediately and keep projects on schedule.
Cost Savings: Minimizes reliance on external correction services, reducing operational costs and eliminating travel expenses for remote setup.
Flexibility & Adaptability: Designed for both small and large-scale projects, with the ability to quickly adjust to evolving site conditions.
Seamless Equipment Integration: Enhances connectivity between drones, GPS devices, and total stations for uninterrupted data accuracy.

Expanding Industry Access
InTerra™ continues to expand its reach through key industry partnerships, including SISO Air, Datumate, and gNext making Datum and SmarTarget the solution for accuracy in construction management and asset inspection to improve operational accuracy and efficiency.

Join the Future of Surveying
Datum is now available for purchase through InTerra™ and our partner/resellers. To learn more or schedule a virtual demo, visit www.interra5d.com.

gNext and InTerra Partner to Increase Survey Accuracy

Huntsville, AL, USA – February 3, 2025 – gNext, a global AI-driven photogrammetry platform specializing in asset management and infrastructure inspection has partnered with InTerra, a leader in the drone mapping and surveying industry, known for its innovative SmarTarget product.

This collaboration allows gNext customers to increase their survey accuracy with physical ground control points that get scanned during data collection.

Setting Manual Ground Control Points with gNext

gNext is popular with engineers, inspectors, and asset managers because of how easy and intuitive it is to use. With 40+ ready-to-go asset types, processing your data requires no photogrammetry skills or manual tie points—something that sets gNext apart from other photogrammetry and asset management systems. You can add ground control points manually in the gNext Platform in accordance with the coordinate reference system you’ve chosen. Many customers add ground control points to their models this way, but for customers that are looking for an even simpler way- that’s where InTerra SmarTargets come in.

Simplify Ground Control with gNext and InTerra SmarTargets

For customers looking for plug and play accuracy- the SmarTarget ground controls simplify how GCPs are processed.

“InTerra SmarTargets are GPS-enabled ground control points you place in various locations throughout your project, which will be highly visible in aerial data—providing precise locations and measurements from your collected images. From the image locations, the model stitches together with increased accuracy. They work best if you strategically place them across the center of flight areas as well as by the high and low points of the terrain,” according to Larry Donelson, CEO of InTerra.

Benefits of the Collaboration

“Through our partnership with InTerra, we’re pleased to offer another option for ground control points that allow our customers an easy integration with InTerra SmarTargets into their gNext models,” stated Russ Ellis, President of gNext.

“SmarTarget was designed to simplify and accelerate the process of achieving high accuracy in drone mapping,” stated Larry Donelson, CEO of InTerra. “Proudly Made in the USA, SmarTarget integrates seamlessly with the gNext platform. We’re making it easier than ever for users to integrate precise ground control points without the hassle of complex manual workflows. It’s a game-changer for professionals who demand reliability, accuracy, and dependability in their projects.”
