Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. Viewing uploaded images on the Reckon website is a great way to view orthomosaics and hillshades. If a user needs to download an image, to view it offline, or in LP360, this can be accomplished by downloading the image…
Classify by Features is a useful way of assigning classifications to points using a spatial relationship to other features. Any vector layer that exists in the Map can be used to classify points that are either within a specified distance of polygon, linear, or point features or any points completely within a polygon feature. 1.…
GeoCue Group recently partnered with the National Park Service (NPS) in a pilot project to assess culturally significant areas within Gettysburg National Military Park using small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). The area of interest (AOI) for this project was the western face of Little Round Top. Little Round Top was the location of a defensive…
When importing adjusted photo heights into PhotoScan, the photo name is used to attach the adjusted image height to the photo in the PhotoScan project. The photo numbering system used by DJI aircraft starts at DJI_ 0001 and goes up to DJI_0999. When the number of photos exceeds DJI_0999, the photo count starts back over…
This workflow is for AirGon Drone Mapping Suite customers who do not use Loki and instead use ground control points for accuracy. To process images in PhotoScan using control points, it is important for the image heights to be relative to the same vertical datum as the control points. Some drone models cannot determine their…
One of the steps in AirGon’s PhotoScan processing workflow is to build a 3D mesh. The mesh building step usually consumes more memory than other steps in the workflow and can lead to a memory error if the capacity is exceeded. The source of this problem can sometimes be traced back to the selection of…
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…
Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. In addition to viewing orthos and other image layers in Reckon, users also have the option to download the layer to a local drive. The following steps describe the process for downloading an image layer from Reckon. Step 1 –…
Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. To download data from Reckon, first select the date from the drop down menu that corresponds to the data you wish to download. The layers associated with this date should be displayed in the Table of Contents on the…
This workflow is for reprojecting, shifting, or scaling in x, y, and/or z direction, for LAS data. This is useful for converting: Geographic Spatial Reference System (SRS) to Projected SRS and vice versa. Projected SRS to another Projected SRS Different measurement units: US survey feet, international feet and meters. Removing vertical bias from LAS data…
