With the release of TerraScan v017.001 for CE, TerraScan should now be preserving the projection VLR information in the LAS header. However, when processing with TerraScan, either directly or indirectly through GeoCue, there are some scenarios in which VLRs can be stripped from your data, or at least appear to be removed. Scenario 1: Reading…
There are two tools in GeoCue that can be used to update the coordinate reference system information found in the header of an LAS file. Both of these tools are normally found in the Utilities tab of standard LAS Working segment checklists or may be added to your custom checklist using Environment Builder. Update Geocoding…
An important evaluation to make when performing a QAQC analysis of a LIDAR data set is a control point comparison. Typically, this refers to checking the vertical accuracy of a LIDAR data set. In regards to vertical check/control point location: “Unlike horizontal checkpoints, vertical checkpoints are not necessarily required to be clearly defined or readily…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
