NEW SE-2 GPS Modules Ricoh Optimises 500SE GPS-Enabled Digital Camera.Ricoh has launched major hardware and firmware enhancements to its 500SE GPS-ready camera. The new features provide improved GPS and data-collection capabilites. To provide the best solution for GIS workflows that require quality images, the new SE-2 GPS moules for the 500SE provides superior GPS reception, capabilities and accuracy. The SE-2 modules incorporate state-of-the-art GPS components into a small power-efficient, and ruggedised housing that attaches to the side of the 500SE, providing and all-in-one geo-imaging solution. ![]() Unlike other GPS cameras and imaging devices with built-in GPS, the 500SE was designed with a modular approach, to ensure the camera's capabilities follow the rapid technology curve in the GPS industry. The new SE-2 modules are available in two versions. The SE-2g provides GPS capability (replaces SE-1 module), while the SE-2c offers GPS plus a 3-axis compass for direction (azimuth) information (replaces SE-3 module). Key advantages of the new SE-2 modules are its small form factor, significant power saving capabilities and faster GPS fix times, due to its new helix antenna. The SE-2g and SE-2c are also less expensive than the previous modules. To further enhance the camera's data-collection capabilities, Ricoh has also announced a new firmware release for the 500SE that allows it to collect up to ten attributes of field data via an easy -to-use on-board data dictionary or by utilising the camera's barcode scanning feature. Additionally, an unlimited number of data dictionaries may be stored on the camera to provide a virtually unlimited amouint of data to embed into images as they are captured. This image meta-data becomes attribute data in GIS mapping applications such as ArcGIS. The new firmware also allows up to three attributes as well as GPS position, azimuth and UTC (satellite time) to be imprinted directly onto images as they are captured.
