Boost field productivity and data capture with Spike and Esri’s Survey123 for ArcGIS®

Spike is a smart laser measurement solution for all types of geospatial applications that seamlessly integrates with Esri’s Survey123. Survey123 is a simple and intuitive form-centric data gathering app for creating, sharing, and analyzing surveys. Integrating Spike with Survey123 allows you to quickly and easily measure areas, heights, widths, and the offset location of the objects you need to document, simply by taking a photo with your smartphone or tablet, all within the Survey123 app.

• Spike provides a photo verifiable record of the feature being measured, delivering increased confidence in field surveys and measurements.

• Spike allows you to measure distant objects that are either difficult or not possible to reach.

• Typical ROI on Spike is 3-5 uses in the field.

The Award-Winning Measurement Solution for Collecting GPS/GNSS Location and Measuring Objects from a Distance

Survey123 for ArcGIS®

Collect data faster with Spike, reducing your field collection and measurement time to minutes. Faster data collection time leads to faster turnaround for reports and analyses. Photos and measurements are saved, and can be remeasured at any time.

Save Time

By integrating Spike and Survey123, photos and measurement data can be automatically associated with GIS features in ArcGIS. Field crews can boost their productivity while in the field, and catalog features or assets faster and safer.

Integrate with the Esri ArcGIS® Platform

Replace expensive and complicated GPS handheld devices with Spike and cut your field data acquisition costs. Capture remote GPS location and measurements during field surveys without ladders, bucket trucks, or expensive GPS equipment.

Cut Costs

With Spike, you can capture 5x more geospatial data than commercial smartphones and tablets. By capturing real-time measurements from a photo, including GPS location, distance, and areas, you can provide more accurate surveillance, inspection, reporting and analysis. End user confidence is increased by using the photo documentation.

Improve Reporting

Capture measurements with Spike from a safe location and distance. There is no need to access the object in order to take measurements. Simply stand at a safe distance, aim the Spike laser at the object you wish to measure, and take a photo from your smartphone or tablet.

Safer Field Operations

Measure areas and lengths of photographed objects. Once on-site, capture a photo of an object, such as a building, using your smartphone or tablet and Spike. Then, draw measurements on the photo, such as area, height, width, and length using the Spike mobile app. These measurements can be used to determine building heights, and dimensions of windows and doors for urban tactical operations.

Photo Measure: real-time measurements from a photo

Spike captures and stores the location of the mobile device and the location of the target object with the distance offset along with a georeferenced image. Target the Spike laser on the feature you wish to locate. Take a photo of an object and Spike will estimate its XY location by combining the distance to the object from your camera plus the direction (azimuth) of the photo taken.

GPS/GNSS Location and GPS/GNSS Location with a Distance Offset

Survey123 and Spike work seamlessly together. The Spike device is first attached to a smartphone or tablet. Using Bluetooth, the Spike device connects to the Spike mobile app. A Survey123 survey configured with a Spike question type will open the Spike app so measurements can be taken on top of photographed objects. Measurements from the Spike app are then sent into the Survey123 app and stored within the survey so they can be uploaded into ArcGIS.

Add a Photo Verifiable Record to Survey123

The Spike laser device connects with your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Spike’s laser rangefinder works jointly with your smartphone

or tablet’s camera, GPS, compass, and connection to the Internet.
