GeoCue offers limited support for Mean High Water Tidal Datums. In GeoCue 2013, thirty-eight Mean High Water project areas (aka VDatum project areas released by NOAA on 13Aug2013) are supported and others will be added as they become available from NOAA. The twenty-five older VDatum project areas are also still included in the product. Transformation…
In the previous articles we provided an introduction to coordinate systems, geoids, datums and projections. This background information was needed in order to delve into more details on transformations and changing projections in the various software packages to help you do more with LIDAR data. This article will provide the information into transformations and changing…
The NOAA Mean High Water (MHW) files (mhw.gtx) and the corresponding TSS files (tss.gtx) can be used to create GeoCue vertical datum grid files that support the Mean High Water Tidal datum in GeoCue. One MHW/TSS pair exists for each of the thirty eight NOAA defined coastal project areas. This note describes the GeoCue workflow…
Geoid models in GeoCue are grid-based. The required file format is simply a rectangular grid of geoid undulation values, N, where h = H+N, with h representing the ellipsoid height and H the geoid height. The grid contains only undulation values. The grid points are required to be at regular geographic intervals in latitude and…
The GeoCue production environment includes tools for tracking and reporting project management metrics. We have seen over the years that organizations that closely monitor project metrics respond sooner and react more effectively when problems arise in production, essentially taking advantage of GeoCue as an early warning system to flag corrective action based on actual performance.…
GeoCue’s ongoing software development in support of optimized geospatial processing workflows includes research into Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) technology. GPUs, on both local and remote nodes, provide additional processing power for churning through mountains of imagery and LIDAR data. Stating the obvious, GPU technology has been around for a while. But what is less obvious…
LIDARgrammetry is a term coined by GeoCue for using the intensity information as the source data for generating stereo models of the project area directly from the LIDAR data itself rather than from ancillary imagery. By creating appropriate stereo pairs from the LIDAR intensity images, it is possible to generate stereo models that can be…
GeoCue includes a command for launching ESRI’s ArcMap product. This command is called “RUN_ARCMAP” and can be found on the Commands tab within Environment Builder. The checklist step can be customized using the following parameters, or additional parameters when configuring a checklist step to run the RUN_ARCMAP command. To pass a file or group of…
KBA-01010-B7T9C3 Problem Dispatch Manager is showing Health Check Pending Error for machines. Solution 1. Is the client machine turned on and connected to the local network? The GeoCue Server sends a test connection to the client machine to determine if the two machines can talk to one another. If the client machine has been turned…
