InstallPyYAML: Requirement Already Satisfied

Trying to run the Create Orthomosaic from Photo Package keeps prompting the user that, “Additional Python components are required. Run: ..\installPyYAML.bat”. However, that has been run already and running it again states, “Requirement already satisified: …in c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\python…”, where %username% is the Windows login of the user that ran the installPyYAML.bat the first time. Delete the…

RIEGL system message: WARNG:OPTIME_FILE_IS_READ_FROM_BACKUP

The Cycle Log from a TrueView 3DIS containing a Riegl laser scanner contains a diagnostic message (DIAG), “RIEGL system message: WARNG:OPTIME_FILE_IS_READ_FROM_BACKUP”. This is a warning message from the Riegl laser scanner that can result if the scanner was not shut down properly during the previous run. This can happen if the TrueView encountered a hard…

Z Bump – Debias Operation Validity Testing

A common practice amongst GeoCue customers (and internally) is to use previously established control points to compare with an sUAS produced point cloud to gather absolute accuracy statistics. The vertical mean error from these statistics is often used to “Debias” a dataset. This is simply shifting the point cloud data to match the measured control…

Proximity Classifier Point Cloud Task

The Proximity Classifier Point Cloud Task found in LP360 and True View EVO classifies points based on attributes of a proximal point. A couple of use case scenarios could be: Classifying a new dataset based on an older one for datasets from multiple collect times. Classifying a subset of a larger dataset, then incorporating the…

Must be a valid positive number.” Upgrade to v2020.2.33.3 or later to avoid encountering this error. This was a bug we introduced when we introduced the new diagnostics logging tab in the v2020.2.33.0…

Retained Photo Station Layer in True View EVO

Retained Photo Station Layer Settings allows the user to specify the photos to be kept for geotagging and export to photogrammetic software packages using Export Photo Package. The notion of “Retained Photo Stations” creates a layer of photo stations (remember for a True View 3DIS there are two photos per photo station) on a new…
