Leica IPAS Freebird – Improves flight economy and simplifies GNSS-IMU processing. The new generation of Leica Geosystems' leading IPAS GNSS-IMU processing software, sets new standards in efficient data acquisition and accurate image georeferencing.
Leica IPAS Freebird no longer requires a continuous lock of satellites. It frees up your mission planning because it allows much tighter turns between flight lines. The results are up to 25% improvement in flight economy for sensor missions and several minutes of time savings per turn.
Leica IPAS Freebird offers the easiest way to achieve accurate image georeferencing by using GNSS raw measurements and tightly coupled GNSS-IMU processing in one step.
And best of all: it comes standard with all Leica Geosystems imaging and LIDAR sensor systems.
Leica IPAS Freebird allows you to put together one and one – simplified GNSS-IMU processing in one step!

Previously, GNSS-IMU processing for accurate image georeferencing required two steps: In a first step, GNSS trajectory was processed using GrafNav/GrafNet software. This required a continuous lock of 5 or more satellites. In a second step, IPAS Pro blended the trajectory with the IMU data.
Now, the all new Leica IPAS Freebird with IPAS TC allows you to combine those steps into one by using GNSS raw measurements and tightly coupled GNSS-IMU processing.
