SimActive will host a live interview on Thursday, June 12, bringing together two industry experts to explore the impact of advanced positioning systems on mapping accuracy. The session, titled “Does Better Positioning Really Improve Mapping Accuracy?”, will feature Eric Andelin, CP, Senior Workflow Advisor at SimActive, and Dr. Mohammed Mostafa, Lead Technical Authority for Mobile Mapping at Trimble Applanix.

This free webinar will take place at two times to accommodate global participants: 10 AM CET and 10 AM PST. Attendees can register at the link provided above and at the end of this article.

Focus on Positioning Systems for Mapping

The discussion will focus on how high-accuracy positioning systems improve the quality of large-scale mapping projects. These systems play a critical role when integrated into aerial triangulation workflows using software like SimActive’s Correlator3D.

“High-accuracy positioning systems, such as those developed by Applanix, are crucial for ensuring the quality of large-scale mapping projects utilizing new sensors and multi-sensor systems,” said the event announcement.

These systems help produce precise outputs such as digital elevation models (DEMs), orthomosaics, and 3D models. They also provide alternatives to traditional ground control points by offering direct georeferencing, which is useful in areas where ground control is not possible.

Guest Expert Shares Real-World Insights

Dr. Mohammed Mostafa, a recognized authority on positioning and sensor integration, will join the session to share his technical knowledge and experience.

“Dr. Mostafa joins us to share his expertise in these technologies and how Correlator3D enables optimal outcomes,” the announcement said.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• Choosing the right positioning systems

• How to integrate those systems with mapping sensors

• Importing positional data into Correlator3D

• Measuring and understanding mapping accuracies

This session is geared toward mapping professionals, drone operators, and geospatial engineers who want to improve the accuracy and reliability of their deliverables.

How to Attend

The webinar will be live on Thursday, June 12, with two available sessions at 10 AM CET and 10 AM PST.
