Changelog of NAVIGATOR

NEW FEATURES

• NAVIGATOR Improved bar above MNT icon: The MNT levelling accuracy is now displayed in 3 colors only: high accuracy (dark green), medium accuracy(orange), low accuracy (light red). This makes it better understandable. The values of high, medium and low accuracy are user definable.
• NAVIGATOR manual: Updated for this version and different improvements.
• NAVIGATOR Terrain following mode: Display interpolated heights instead of height of next image position.
• NAVIGATOR Manual selection of next flight line: added button "-" .
• SensorHandler PHASE ONE: New Phase One iX Capture integration: Allow camera triggering on iX Controller MK6 and remote triggering.
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: SYNCH_COUNT is not anymore the number of cameras detected by RiACQUIRE but the number of activated cameras in SensorHandler.
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: Each scanner and each camera can be activated or deactivated during the flight. No resetting of the software is needed any more. For such cases there is also no need to define different integrations settings in RiACQUIRE.
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: Settings of if behaviour when leaving the corridor: Simplified by reducing two options to one options.
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: Introduced new option: Add segment number to RiACQUIRE record. Before the segment number was automatically added to the line number.
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: Improved option for triggering images. It can be selected between RiACQUIRE or IMU triggering images. The former option AP+ is not necessary anymore.
• SensorHandler APPLANIX AP+: Triggering images is now entirely the responsibility of the handler of the camera. Only the port of the event must be defined.
• SensorHandler APPLANIX POSAV: Triggering images is now entirely the responsibility of the handler of the camera. Do NOT check any more "Camera is controlled by Applanix"!
• SensorHandler APPLANIX POSAV: The check box "Camera is controlled by Applanix" is only needed for special integrations where the IMU needs to detect when an image has to be triggered.
• SensorHandler APPLANIX POSAV, AP+, NMEA: If the IMU does not provide an update rate of at least 10Hz then a warning appears. The update rate must be set in the IMU configuration.
• SensorHandler UltraCam: In ImageTakings file the stored position was the one when the image has been successfully stored. To improve accuracy now the position of the IMU event is stored.
• SensorHandler NMEA: Speed and ground track can be received also by RMC (not only by VTG). But the preferred one is VTG.

FIXES

• NAVIGATOR crashes when opening big projects: Fixed when changing from one project to another big project.
• NAVIGATOR was slow in loading big projects.
• NAVIGATOR Major performance improvements when changing flight lines.
• NAVIGATOR Major performance improvements when opening large projects.
• NAVIGATOR did not load flight plans when line ID was higher than 6000.
• NAVIGATOR Fixed splash screen for Riegl branded licenses.
• NAVIGATOR Reset a flight line which does not have any image positions.
• NAVIGATOR Improved zoom behavior in terrain following mode.
• NAVIGATOR fixed: terrain layer can be in another projection than the project (flight lines, images).
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: Better wording for the three options on the possible scanner states. The options are the following: Change between initializing-working-logging; change between working-logging only; manual mode: don't change automatically.
• SensorHandler RiACQUIRE: The behavior of the various possible scanner modes has been revised.
• SensorHandler CWIS-II: Improved handling.
• SensorHandler UltraCam: legacy camera support.
• All executables are now signed.
• Visual C++ redistributable will be installed if not available.

NEW FEATURES

• Riegl: lines can now be flown if they have no images (lines only).
• Show / hide lines is now more intuitive for operator.
• Further improved automatic zooming.
• Flying in North up mode: when aircreft is within corridor then display changes to head up (can be configured).
• Flight lines can be selected also by a clicking the map.
• Improved functionality of the buttons for selecting the next or previous flight line. It also considers the case when line-sequencing is activated.
• Optimized coloring of speed and heading information to ensure that all airplane related parameters have the same color.
• Report: Separate report pages for imaging and scanning.

FIXES

• Fixed crashes of the NAVIGATOR in case the pilot display gets disconnected and again reconnected.
• Settings folder was not listed in NAVIGATOR's ini settings dialog.
• Reset all flight lines not working.
• Fixed input elements for defining the next flight lines (the button ‘<-‘ now just removes the last entered digit, the button ‘C’ clears the complete input).
• Fixed adding of flight projects with a warning in case the project path is too long.
• Fixed issue where a planned azimuth bigger than 360° was visualized.
• Fixed saving of the setting for switching on/off the pilot display.
• Fixed obsolete error message when creating a report.
• Fixed issue where the SensorHandler hangs, if RiAcquire gets closed before the connection of the SensorHandler specific Riegl RiAcquire handler gets closed.
• Fixed issue when using POSAv where manual initiated triggers were not released.

SENSORHANDLER RIEGL:

• added new command to prevent that one camera is triggered too late (for multi camera systems)
• fixed: logging mode is running before new line record will be created

NAVIGATOR:

• new zooming behaviour
