7D RTK GPS Positioning Technology

Dimensions are Position (X,Y,Z) When precise positioning matters, Novariant's patented 7D™ RTK GPS positioning technology manages seven dimensions of information at any instant. The seven dimensions are Position (X,Y,Z); Orientation (roll, pitch, yaw) plus time. Common GPS technologies communicate 2D (X,Y) or 3D (X,Y,Z) position. Other systems have additional logic that infers orientation by measuring position over time, then calculating the resultant orientation - optionally augmenting with inertial sensors. 7D positioning directly measures this information at every instant in time. The measurement is instantaneous, with no delays in calculation, no speed limitations, no multiple sampling, no motion required nor direction change restrictions. This enables more effective vehicle control. This 7D technology is what enables the Logic7D intelligent machine control.

RTK (Real Time Kinematic) GPS is the most precise form of Global Positioning System technology that delivers centimeter level accuracy (sub-inch). Novariant's 7D RTK GPS is centimeter accurate in all dimensions.
