Leica Infinity : One Step Transformation - RTK Field Data to Local Ground System

00:00 Intro to One Step ( also called Transformation, Calibration or Localization)

Leica Infinity Office software has a lot of power to QC RTK and TPS data. The One Step Transformation is included as a standard feature under the TOOLS- COORDINATE SYSTEM section, and include with the Core level of Infinity. This is a powerful tool for RTK operations when "warping" or transforming into another firms set control (also use to verify existing control is good to avoid errors and ID points that could be out of tolerance, or disturbed, before the job starts.

The 1 Step Transformation is a great feature and is worth the basic cost of Infinity. When people ask "Why do I need Infinity?" there are several reasons, this video one solid answer to justify adding Infinity office Software to your firm to support your Leica RTK units.

00:45 Reason to perform a 1-Step and why to use Infinity (the 1 step can also be done directly on the CS20 in the field-as well) Infinity allows the office RPLS to review the data, include the points to match that he determines to be the best fit -in the office. Infinity provides more tools for the QC process . RPLS can then compute and reload new 1 Step Transformation on the Filed RTK units

02:20 Geometry overview on # of points required for 1 step

04:30 Infinity- create a project and Import ASCII file of local control points

06:00 Infinity- Create a Project and Import RTK raw field Data

06:40 Clean up RTK field data, check CQ values of points used for 1 Step

07:45 Tools- Coordinate system-Manger define "1 step"

09:00 Define Parameters to be used for 1 Step

10:00 Match Common Points RTK (WGS84) to Local (Ground)- and check residuals

12:30 Find point with larger residual and "remove" and re compute

13:00 Review results and store transformation to Infinity Manger for other projects and ability to upload to SD-USB for other RTK rovers

13:45 Report of transformation-results and residuals- save to PDF

14:20 Export new 1 Step transformation to SD card to load on other rovers

15:00 Copy new 1 Step to current Infinity projects to transform RTK data, then export Ascii with new Coordinate system from Infinity

17:30 Transfer Coordinate system from SD to Internal Memory of a CS20 controller to be used by RTK field crew
