KUBA vs GeoAce

KUBA-Mobile is an attractive data collection software, which allows on site collection of inspection data of road structures (bridges, galleries, support walls, etc.) and tunnels. It is companion application of bridge management system KUBA. Mostly visual inspection findings related to deterioration processed e. g. cracks, bleaching, corrosion traces, etc. as well as other findings e. g. insufficient concrete cover can be recorded in a structured way by means of catalogs, texts, photos and sketches. The automated synchronization process ensures a complete transfer of data with the main system KUBA. Apart from findings, deterioration processes causing observed defects can be recorded. For these purpose damage zones (grouping of findings) are attributed to a deterioration process. The damage zone is recorded in terms of its severity and extent. The severity of damage (stage of the deterioration process) is expressed by a condition state, whose range is from 1 (best) to 5 (worst). For tracking purpose one can assign recorded findings and their photos to a damage zone. The damage zones can be drawn on georeferenced sketches and thus localized on the map. The developer company of KUBA-Mobile and main system KUBA, Unit Solutions (http://unit.solutions) has numerous years of experience in development of innovative and user-friendly software solutions, as well as providing IT-services within the management of civil infrastructure. The technical concept and design of the main system KUBA and KUBA-Mobile is developed by Infrastructure Management Consulting (www.imc-ch.com).

GeoAce is a super-easy-to-use surveying application, for both surveyors and non-surveyors, who want to accurately collect geospatial data or locate (stakeout) such data on-site. GeoAce turns your smartphone or tablet into a precise, centimeter-accurate surveying system, without the need to use GNSS receivers or total stations. It uses Visual SLAM positioning and Augmented Reality technology to accurately determine the position of your smartphone/tablet in space and collect 3-dimensional data at the same time directly in the video stream. It doesn’t rely on GNSS positioning, so it can be used also indoors, under tree coverage and even in underground mining. You can connect external GNSS receivers to further increase the versatility of the application and accuracy. You can upgrade your GNSS receivers from Leica, Trimble, eSurvey, Stonex, Emlid and others with GeoAce to an Augmented Reality rover working everywhere, even in areas where GNSS usually wont work. The results are ready to use drawings in PDF and standard CAD & GIS formats. GeoAce doesn’t require a network connection and all processing and exporting is done on the device.
