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…
Problem: When attempting to authorize a floating license in the LP360 License Administrator you receive a activation error, “Failed to access Windows Services Manager (24221)”. Probable Resolution: The user does not have the necessary administrative permissions to create a service in Windows as deemed by Microsoft. Ensure that the user logged in is an administrator…
In some cases it is necessary to log some additional information from the GeoCue command dispatch system (CDS) in order to evaluate the system performance. Applies to GeoCue 2014 Service Pack 5 and later. When enabled, GeoCue will creat a .csv file in RemotingLogs folder under Common folder as defined in database manager for each…
WMS (Web Map Service) is an OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard which is widely supported: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms WMS layers can be added into LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360, Mission Planner, LIDAR Server and Reckon. LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360 and Mission Planner all display WMS data as a layer. These different programs provide users the ability to display…
GeoCue is a workflow management tool that by its very nature has some data management features to it as well. When working with files within GeoCue files are either stored on a network path that is referenced within the program or files are stored in the GeoCue warehouse. Projects may contain large quantities of data…
The Downstream Constraint method is used to create 3D polylines that are guaranteed to flow in the downhill direction. This method is useful for creating breaklines that hydrologically enforce streams in a downhill direction. The first step in the conflation method is to perform a drape of the geometry to the LIDAR surface. The drape…
