Glenn added that the local operators are often skilled
agricultural scientists but have no background in GNSS
positioning. The simplicity of the Trimble solution enables
them to quickly establish accurate control and then focus on
the work of crop assessment. "Our dealer helped us overcome
our lack of deep background in surveying or GNSS," he said.
"They helped us set up a very nice streamlined workflow that
works reliably and gets the job done."
Accurate 3D models enable assessment of plant heights, elevation and slopes in
test plots.
Supported by precise GNSS, high-resolution imagery enables assessment from
field level (top) down to individual wheat plants (bottom).
"We use the Trimble R2 with
CenterPoint RTX. It does a great
job for us for being able to quickly
measure the coordinates of our
ground control points."
