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 answer to this question will depend on the Structure from Motion software being used. The two primary components are: The ability to use high-accuracy geotags. Loki provides highly accurate geotagged images with accuracy values written to the XMP metadata. We also produce a simple .csv text file for applications unable to read that…
Prolog: I am writing a new whitepaper on model constraints in LP360 (any reference to LP360 where I do not add the term “for ArcGIS,” I am talking about the standalone version. This document is extracted and heavily revised from a series of articles that I wrote for the GeoCue Group Newsletter in 2013. The…
Using Loki, AirGon’s precision positioning system, very accurate georeferenced imagery can be collected using DJI drones over an area of interest. The positions from which those photos are captured are output from the ASP Suite workflow as geographic locations, described by latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates. Image-to-point cloud software applications such as Agisoft PhotoScan and…
The Agisoft Lens User Manual provides information and guidance on the use of Agisoft Lens. Agisoft Lens is an automatic lens calibration software, which uses an LCD screen as a calibration target. It supports estimation of the full camera calibration matrix, including non-linear distortion coefficients. Estimated calibration parameters can be saved in human readable file…
LP360 has a Point Cloud Task (PCT) that can reproject raster layers, create pyramids, and JPEG compress. The PCT is named Reproject Raster. When we reproject an existing orthophoto to a new coordinate system, or re-write to a different unit, the user can choose to output uncompressed, or JPEG compressed. If JPEG compression is selected, the user…
Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. AirGon’s Reckon is a cloud-hosted data management system that brings ease to the complicated process of data delivery. From quoting a customer to the final data delivery, Reckon serves as the hub for interactive project management. One of the…
The Loki contains circuits that are always powered. The faint glow from the LEDs are a result of this, but has only a minor impact on battery discharge rate. Loki, if not being used, will discharge in approximately 3 weeks and will shut down until reconnected to USB power. We recommend fully charging Loki no…
