LP360 has many tools for analyzing stockpiles and terrain. With these tools, it is possible to calculate average stockpile height and quantify this on a pile by pile basis in an automated fashion. The Volumetric Analysis point cloud task (PCT) has the ability to calculate a height dataset when the base and hull is known.…
Executing the Reproject LAS Point Cloud Task encounters the error, “Error setting up the transformation: Missing geoid file for source vertical coordinate system.” The spatial reference system (SRS) must be properly set on the LAS Layer as that is where the Reproject PCT will be looking for the information. For example, if the original LAS…
A common issue that is encountered when trying to take a bare earth surface generated from LIDAR or photogrammetric point cloud datasets into other programs is that those other programs cannot handle the volume of data. LP360 currently provides four options that can be used to thin the bare earth dataset to allow you to…
Starting the Create True View Trajectory process results in a Trajectory File Time Range Warning, “Warning: The Post Process Trajectory File start time was AFTER the start time of the first flight line. Geocoded LIDAR may not cover all of your flight lines. Continue and create all possible Trajectory Files?” This check was put in…
Attempting to run POSPacCloud to process the trajectory solution for a TrueView 3DIS results in an error message stating, “POSITION_FILE_PARSE_FAILED”. Verify the project path contains no special characters as the Applanix POSPacCloud utility cannot handle them. If you do have special characters, close TrueView EVO, take the special characters out of the path, then re-open…
Attempting to run the LP360 installer through Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, formerly System Center Configuration Manager and Systems Management Server (SCCM) results in an error, “This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the package to basic.” LP360 requires the…
The classification of a LIDAR data point consists of both a classification and a classification flag. The classification flag allows for a point to be simultaneously flagged for particular uses while maintaining the classification of the point. For example, a model key-point can be flagged as such while maintaining the ground classification. Classification flags are…
The following is a brief explanation for how to set filters for classification flags in LP360. The Live View Filter allows the user to set flags for: single class, multiple classes, single flag, or multiple flag combination scenarios. For this example, we will review setting the Live View filter for displaying these flags. The same…
Canopy Height Model (CHM) is important for a variety of uses. The distinguishing factor of this model is that it is a height above ground model and does not represent absolute elevation. We can produce this model in LP360 with the following workflow that incorporates Point Cloud Tasks (PCTs) and the export function. Note: the…
GeoCue Client encounters the error message, “Unable to contact the specified repository server (Server name and IP address). A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond IP address.” The GeoCue server is not running. There are…
