The FIG Congress 2026 will be held from 23–29 May 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. As one of the most influential global events in the surveying and geospatial industry, the Congress brings together professionals, researchers, and industry leaders to exchange knowledge and advance innovation under the theme: “The Future we want: The SDGs and Beyond.”
The FIG Congress provides a comprehensive international platform covering the full spectrum of professional fields within the global surveying community, while also promoting professional practice, standards, and collaboration across disciplines worldwide.
Hi-Target will participate as an exhibitor at Booth 56, where we will present our latest advanced surveying solutions, including the V700S SLAM RTK, V600L Laser RTK, and HTS-820 Robotic Total Station, demonstrating cutting-edge capabilities for modern surveying applications.
Hi-Target Technical Presentations at FIG Congress 2026
This year, Hi-Target will present three technical reports within the FIG Congress technical programme:
Efficient and On-Demand Unmanned System for Hydrography and Risk Management.
This paper presents the iBoat USV, a rapid and cost-effective USV multibeam solution for hydrographic surveys. It demonstrates the system’s ability to efficiently collect high-density bathymetric data for mapping, bridge inspection, and risk management in complex water environments.
Efficient One-Person Engineering Surveying with a Vision-Enhanced Robotic Total Station : Applications in Cadastre and Construction.
This paper presents a vision-enhanced one-person robotic total station workflow for engineering and cadastral surveying. Based on the HTS-820 and SP20 pole system, it integrates AI-assisted target recognition, GNSS/IMU positioning, and optical-tilt compensation to enable efficient centering, tracking, and seamless indoor–outdoor stake-out. Case studies show improved accuracy and efficiency, particularly in long-distance and dynamic surveying scenarios, offering a cost-effective solution for wider adoption.
GNSS-Based Machine Guidance System for Improving Surface Mining Efficiency
This paper will be presented as a poster. It presents a high-precision machine guidance system for mining drill rigs by integrating GNSS, IMU, and laser sensors with a digital terrain model. The system enables real-time drill bit positioning, visual trajectory tracking, and remote supervision, improving drilling accuracy, safety, and overall operational efficiency.
We warmly invite all attendees to visit our Booth 56 during FIG Congress 2026 and join our technical sessions to explore the latest advancements in surveying technology. We look forward to engaging discussions, knowledge exchange, and showcasing how Hi-Target solutions contribute to a smarter and more connected geospatial future.
