Nav Cam with V-LOC Visual Localization

Model NAV CAM, V-LOC

Pre-calibrated target-tracking camera with V-LOC software, which computes asset-relative position, heading and attitude from open-source tags; 3 mm / 0.3° typical accuracy at 3 m.

Description

Nav Cam is a pre-calibrated camera for target tracking supplied with Forssea's proprietary V-LOC visual localization software. V-LOC calculates the relative coordinates of assets from open-source tags affixed to them, and a web user screen provides real-time tracking and integration with third-party equipment. Nav Cams are available for sale and rental.
