About Summarizing Individual Point Attributes When using the Point Cloud Statistics Extractor , all attributes of the point cloud can be summarized using basic descriptive statistics such as minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation. The field codes used for each descriptive statistic is ‘MN’, ‘MX’, ‘AV’, and ‘SD’ respectively. The following lists the point attributes…
About Extracting Point Densities and Area When using the Point Cloud Statistics Extractor one may export point density and the area used to calculate those density values. There are two types of point densities to export; an overall point density and if grouping by an attribute, the density related to only those points within a…
Extracting Header Attributes About Extracting Header Attributes When using the Point Cloud Statistics Extractor one may use the Extract By Files option. One can then select a number of header attributes to save in the extracted summaries. The following is the current list of exportable header attributes and their corresponding field names: File name: FName…
About Extracting Point Counts When using the Point Cloud Statistics Extractor one may toggle various point counts that are tallied during the summarizing of the point cloud. The following describes the type of point counts you may export and each field name associated with that count: Point Count (PntCnt): the number of total points used…
The new “Classify Non-Visible Points” mode introduced in LP360 2016 allows the user to choose whether or not they classify non-visible points. Example: Water is off in the display filter, everything else is on. In the Selection filter all classification classes are on. Case 1: Toggle set to not classify non-visible points. Result: Only selected…
Sometimes, when a Conflation Type Point Cloud Task is executed for multiple features, it can appear to delete executed features when the feature type is changed. This occurs when the PCT is configured to run using Tool Geometry and the Output mode is “Append”, and the user changes the type of feature being created.…
LP360 is a family of point cloud exploitation tools for both native Windows (“standalone”) and the ArcGIS® desktop platform. LP360 for ArcGIS is the world’s most popular point cloud (such as LIDAR and dense image matching) visualization, editing and information extraction tool set for ArcGIS®. It is available directly from GeoCue Group Inc.1 (www.geocue.com) and…
As taken from the ArcView™ 3.2 Help System The ASCII Raster File format is a simple format that can be used to transfer raster data between various applications. It is basically a few lines of header data followed by lists of cell values. The header data includes the following keywords and values: ncols – number…
As taken from the ArcView™ 3.2 Help System The Binary Raster File format is a simple format that can be used to transfer raster data between various applications. It consists of two files, the IEEE floating-point file and a supporting ASCII header file. The header file must have the same name as the data file,…
