One of the common requests we receive from our GeoCue users is to add the ability to archive or off-line projects when they are completed. Once a project has been completed and fully delivered to the customer, it needs to be transferred effectively out of production operations to an enterprise data archive. Archiving a completed…
Building a Simple Corridor We will use an example of building a road corridor. For this exercise, we have created a new project in the NAD 83, Zone 16 N meters horizontal coordinate system and ellipsoid, meters for the vertical system. To this project we added a reference raster layer and imported the Madison County…
Service pack 5 for GeoCue 2014 enables some capabilities to process your LASA v1.4 files from start to finish using TerraScan for CE. We leverage GeoCue’s ability to launch a TerraScan project for an external application and a registry edit to direct GeoCue to use the TerraSlave for CE. To facilitate use the links below…
Sometimes it may be useful to “cookie-cut” LIDAR points by polygons. The polygons may represent rectangular grids, such as quarter quads, or can be irregularly shaped. Cookie-cut allows you to use a shape file of one or more polygons. An attribute from the Shape file can be used to name the various files. This is set…
A quick and basic way to get information about projection information, GPS time and the number of points within an LAS file is to run the LDDump executable. The program is designed to pull the information directly from the public header block of the LAS file, provided the header has been correctly populated with the…
LP360 includes a Point Cloud Task (PCT) that will automatically digitize the toe of a clean stockpile and can allow for the classification of overhead structures such as conveyors. This tool saves considerable time when computing stockpile volumetrics. A “clean” stockpile is one with a clear demarcation of the boundary from a 3D perspective that…
If you’re i/o bound, which is usually the case with LIDAR or photogrammetric point cloud processing, you need to figure out what kind of i/o you’re doing at the bottleneck. Case 1: If you’re just waiting for a single tile to load, your slowdown may be from low RPM HDD, but more likely you’re hitting…
Point data can be exported into Bentley’s MicroStation design file format using the LP360 Export Wizard. LP360 uses a seed design file as the basis to create the new design file with the points in it. Hence, the working units of the seed file affect the generated point DGN file. The seed file used by…
Symptom: Receive an error message, “Error Writing Global Parameter Sets File (14761): Apply Rail Extractor Parameter Set Error(14759)” while trying to save the advanced Rail Parameters Point Cloud Task. Probable Resolution: This error message generally occurs when one of the specified parameters is not valid. Verify the entered values to continue.
Windows 10 continues Microsoft’s trend to lock down security and permissions on computers as Microsoft attempts to thwart malware. In doing so, locations that were once accessible for programs and users alike are now off limits unless explicitly granted permission each time they are accessed. The “C:\Program Files\Common Files” is such a location, as is…
