The Basic Filter Point Cloud Task (PCT) allows you to define one or more point filters and assign the set of points matching the point filter to a classification. This PCT is useful for conducting simple reclassifications of point data in a LIDAR project. Reclassifying points from the old Model Keypoint class 8 to the…
When creating a project in GeoCue there is an option on the Project Creation Dialog to Auto Create Layers. The layers that are auto created can be selected within Environment Builder. Within Environment Builder go to Environments and specify the Environment that needs to have layers auto created when a project is created. In the…
This technical note explains how to launch an external application with a TerraScan project from GeoCue 2014 and later. In doing so one may provide a means to pass a TerraScan project to MicroStation Connect before the full support is implemented in GeoCue 2016. One may also use this command to pass a TerraScan project…
There may come a time when a user has two LIDAR datasets. One that represents the project area that is very dense and the other a sparser dataset from a ground survey. The ground survey data can be used to determine vertical accuracy once it is in the correct format to be used in LP360.…
The following is how to run a point cloud task on features that are selected in the main view. Select the features that are going to be used for the task Within the task if there is an option for Input Geometry make sure it is set to Tool Geometry If there is no option…
Problem: Dropped images from Pixhawk drone flight and can’t georeference with dataflash logs. Probable Resolution: Create a new “Position File” that provides a row for each image filename, lat, lon, and elevation using our tool XYZsFromCAMEvents. Provide the “Image Folder” and the “Dataflash Log”. The default file is named “FlightLLAs.txt”. It DOES NOT create a “geotagged” folder, nor write…
It may seem that there is an edge mismatch between Digital Elevation Model(s) (DEM) created with LP360 that is showing up when the grids are viewed in different software platforms. For instance, a user might see an offset between grids such as in the example below: After further research into the matter it turns out the issue is…
We have added quite a few tools to LP360 (Standalone)/Topolyst aimed at small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) data processing (and small area LIDAR, of course). Here are a few tips for defining stockpile toes for volumetric computations. Automatic Toe Extraction with Overhead: You will note that the automatic toe extraction Point Cloud Task (LP360 Advanced…
Problem: When adding files to the map some of the LAS files won’t load and you are presented with the following messages about “Duplicate File IDs”. Caller’s Message: Adding layer to the map failed (22705) Exception Information HRESULT: 0x80004005 Description Duplicate file ids Caller’s Message: Exception Information: HRESULT: 0x0 Unable to retrieve extended COM error…
Symptoms: With some older installations of GeoCue Federator the app_tracelog.svclog log file can become quite huge taking up a lot of room on the hard drive. Probable Resolution: You may delete the app_tracelog.svclog found in “C:\Program Files\GeoCue\GeoCue Federator Server”. In order to prevent a large file from being created again, you can edit the “GCFederator.WindowsServiceHost.exe.config”…
