There are lots of drones to choose from for mapping purposes, but a couple of stand-outs from DJI are the Phantom 4 Pro and the Inspire 2. They both provide excellent flight times and they also have mechanical shutters. This is important to eliminate the geometric distortions inherent with electronic rolling shutters, which are typical…
We have added a new monochromatic display mode in LP360 as well as rearranged the hillshade options to a more logical arrangement. A monochromatic display is just what it implies – a solid, single color display of all points regardless of attributes such as class or return number. This mode of display is ideal for…
Beginning in 2017, additional grouping tools were introduced to enable new methods of conducting above ground classifications, beyond the usual classification routines. These tools rely on group logic – grouping above ground points with probable relationships with the goal of designating a single group of points per physical object. In short, the usual classification routines…
TerraScan provides from the ability to synchronize MicroStation views by making one view dependent on a master view. The dependent view then updates when the master view changes. One advantage of this tool is that it allows the visualization of the same location using different attributes simultaneously, which can be extremely useful for quality assurance/quality…
Beginning in 2014, some grouping tools were introduced to TerraScan. Those tools applied to mobile LIDAR applications as they were aimed at classifying moving cars and trees. In late 2016, additional grouping tools were introduced to enable a new method of conducting above ground classifications in airborne LIDAR datasets beyond the standard classification routines. Prior…
In 2016 we added a very powerful new tool to LP360 (standalone version) called Feature Analyst. This is a tabular-driven tool that synchronizes a table view of Features, Feature Parts and Vertices with their graphical representation in the Map and Profile views. This tool has improved the creation, editing and quality checking of features such…
The AirGon Sensor Package (ASP) software suite is part of the AirGon software workflow and is used to process Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) information from the AV-900 ASP hardware for Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) direct geopositioning (wow, that is truly a mouthful!!). Last year we introduced the Bring Your Own Drone (BYOD) Mapping Kit to…
