2.5.5. Intel® High Resolution Imaging Payload
The Intel® High Resolution Imaging Payload consists of a Sony RX1R II camera with a
Topcon B111 GNSS receiver. When the Intel High Resolution Imaging Payload is
connected, the external Topcon receiver is used as a redundancy backup receiver for
the internal GPS receiver and for geo-referencing the images during post-processing.
The internal GPS receiver has precedence over the Topcon receiver and is used for
positioning the UAV in-flight. If for any reason the internal GPS receiver fails the
external Topcon receiver takes over.
Notes
The use of the Intel Imaging Payload requires Intel Falcon 8+ UAS firmware
version package 1.2 or higher (see “Firmware update” on page 61).
