Step-by-Step Guide to Visual AR Stakeout with Orion ONE
1. Establish a Fixed Solution
Before starting the Visual AR Stakeout, ensure that your device is receiving RTK correction data stably and has a fixed RTK solution.
Due to the large image data size, the AR stakeout function needs to utilize the WiFi connection for data transmission. If you are using CORS mode and the WiFi was previously used for Internet access, please insert a SIM card into the collector to ensure uninterrupted Internet connectivity during AR operation.
If you are using internal radio mode, then you don't need to worry about the network connection.
2. Initialize IMU
The IMU tilt function must be initialized before using Visual AR Stakeout. Go to Survey >> Point Survey, click the IMU button to turn on tilt function, follow the prompt in the software to shake the pole and finish initialization.
3. Import Stakeout Points and Enter AR Stakeout Interface
Import or enter your stakeout points into the system, then select one point and click Stakeout to navigate to the stakeout interface.
Click the AR stakeout icon, and your controller will automatically jump to the Wi-Fi connection interface. You need to connect your collector to the Orion ONE's WiFi for image transmission.
Select the WiFi named after your Orion ONE SN and enter the password (12345678) to establish the connection. Once connected, return to the stakeout interface, where you'll see the live image from the Orion ONE camera.
4. Follow Software Prompts and Stakeout the Point
- Ensure Proper Orientation: The software will prompt you to ensure the receiver is facing backward. Based on the camera feed, it will indicate the location of the stakeout point.
- Align the Stakeout Point: As you approach the stakeout location, the software will highlight the target on the screen.
- Final Adjustment: Align the tip of the rod with the stakeout point location. Once aligned, click the survey button to complete the stakeout.
With the Orion ONE's Visual AR Stakeout feature, surveyors can easily visualize and stake out points with AR guidance. By following these simple steps, you can greatly enhance your surveying efficiency, streamline workflows, and reduce the chances of errors in the field.
