GeoCue’s repository of TrueView tools, tips and workflows for the TrueView line of drone mapping products. Includes former AirGon products such as Loki and ASPSuite.
The TrueView GO is designed primarily as a handheld SLAM-based LiDAR system for walking applications. However, it can be mounted on a vehicle for corridor scanning if proper speed and mounting practices are followed. This article provides guidance on optimal travel speed, setup tips, and quality assurance steps for car-mounted TrueView GO workflows. Recommended Travel…
For TVGO indoor scans (using SLAM), performing loop closures is recommended for optimizing the point cloud. This overlap help minimize “drift” in the resulting point cloud. Since the same area is covered multiple times it will be recognized and keep the scan aligned properly. When a loop is preformed, ensure that at least 20% of…
Problem: While trying to copy the raw data from the TV540, you may encounter an error while importing the data using the TV540 Data Copy Tool: No images available in the TV540 Data Copy Tool, however the images are available inside the sensor ALPHA_CAM hard drive memory. The error is related to the images not…
The TrueView Web User Interface provides a user interface (UI) of the TrueView payload through any standard web browser. With this interface the user can monitor the system operation, readiness for data collection, and change settings. It also helps with troubleshooting by providing additional information about errors and issues. For installation and operation of your…
Flight Planning for LiDAR provides instructions for planning a flight to be used for LIDAR collection with a TrueView 3DIS. This section will provide guidelines for flight planning, followed by specific instructions for flight planning applications. The second section contains the TrueView Mission Planning Spreadsheet which can be utilized for calculating the line spacing, point…
1. Introduction This article is meant to give recommendations for a corridor mapping project with UAV. Corridor mapping refers to the process of capturing detailed spatial data along a linear path such as a road, railway, or powerline. These missions typically involve long flights with relatively few flight lines and present unique challenges. Example of…
Summary –> Avoid planning a mission when the KP Index forecast is 4 or higher. What Is the KP Index? The KP Index measures geomagnetic activity on a scale from 0 (quiet) to 9 (extremely disturbed), based on data from ground-based magnetometers. This index reflects the impact of solar flares and other solar events that…
TrueView firmware v2.2.0-21 (ffb8a694) added payload profiles, which can be saved and loaded onto a TrueView payload to quickly change parameters and settings. These settings include Proximity Mode, Proximity Mode Distance, Save directly to USB drive (TV535), enable camera, Web UI Wi-Fi, Lever Arm values, GNSS antenna type, etc. Profile settings can be accessed by…
With True View GO 116 and 132, you can get the following error: Due to prolonged failure to acquire satellite signals, the device is locked and cannot be used normally. Please wait in an open area for the device to acquire satellite signals normally. It is an error message that happens when the sensor has…
