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…
Problem: We experienced a crash with our UAV and Loki system and would like to verify the Maxtenna is functional. Procedure: Put the Maxtenna on a Loki and take it outside Turn on the Loki Wait until the green antenna light comes on Wait about a minute Plug the Loki into a computer and check…
To download the DJI log file (DAT file) from your aircraft, you will need to use the following steps: Connect your aircraft to your computer with USB cable that was provided with your aircraft. For Inspire 2 and M200/210, be sure the switch near the USB port is set to “Computer”. Phantom 4 Pro –…
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…

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 first things for any project is to identify and quantify the area of interest. We are…
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…
If the drone pilot leaves the Loki unit on while swapping batteries on the drone when flying larger sites then there will only be a single SBF covering the multiple flights. Each take off and landing of the aircraft is considered a flight. This is not the recommended workflow and can create problems when post-processing. …
The focal length field in ContextCapture requires a focal length in mm instead of pixels. To convert a known focal length in pixels to mm: F(mm) = F(pixels) * SensorWidth(mm) / ImageWidth (pixel). For an X4S, the image width in pixels is 5472. Context Capture indicates the sensor width is 13.2 mm, so the equation…
