GeoCue’s repository of articles covering tools, tips, and workflows for processing point clouds in LP360 Drone.
In LP360 Drone, formerly TrueView EVO, the user has a number of options for post-processing the trajectory solution. Applanix SMARTBase is one method that requires no local base station and produces centimeter level accuracy in network. What is SMARTBase? Applanix SMARTBase is a web service that uses existing ephemeris data from public base station infrastructure…

A brief overview of the installation process when updating LP360 is as follows, details in the Update Guide: The following document covers the upgrade process for the LP360 family of products; LP360 (64-bit), and LPViewer. For new installations, or troubleshooting tips, please see the full Installation Guide.
LP360 is a 64-bit Windows® desktop application used for many years by the LP360 Geospatial community for processing traditional aerial, mobile, and terrestrial tripod laser scanner data. The LP360 Drone community is the focus of this Users Guide containing the LP360 workflows for processing and exploiting TrueView, microdrones® and guest sensor drone data. Formerly called…
There are many tools and keyboard shortcuts that exist within the LP360 product suite, including LP360 for ArcGIS, LP360 Geospatial, LP360 for sUAS, TrueView EVO/LP360 Drone. Remembering all of them and where to find them may prove difficult, particularly for beginner or casual users. To help we’ve created tool guides that provide the names of…
Strip Calibration can be used to estimate constant parameters, the boresite angles, but would not be suited to remove inconsistencies in the point cloud generated by dynamic sensor trajectory errors. Please refer to the method and context behind Strip Adjustment and how to use Strip Adjustment for correcting dynamic sensor trajectory errors. Strip calibration should not…
A Ground Control Point (GCP) is a monumented point for which geodesic coordinates are known with a controlled accuracy and precision. It can be provided by a National Geodetic Authority or made by the user. Several topographic survey techniques can be used to determine the coordinates of a GCP (GNSS, geodetic network adjustment from distance,…
Attempting to run POSPacCloud to process a sensor trajectory solution in LP360 Drone, formerly TrueView EVO, results in an authentication failed error, “An error occurred running POSPacCloud.exe: C:\Program Files\Applanix\POSPac Cloud\POSPacCloud.exe AUTHENTICATION_FAILED Unexpected character encountered while parsing value:” Please ensure POSPacCloud has installed when you installed LP360. Or manually install using the POSPacCloud setup, POSPacCloud_PROD_v0.0.xx.zip, available under…
What is a Point Cloud Task (PCT)? A function (Extract ground, Conflate Line) that operates on points, rasters, and/or vectors. A task can be a filter and/or an extractor. A filter classifies or changes the classification values for points (e.g. classify ground). An extractor extracts information from the point cloud data into vector, image or…
