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.
Problem: A check of the ASPSuite License shows Current License as “Unlicensed” and shows Available Licenses as “0 of 0”, but the Check Out License button is enabled. Attempting to check out a license in this state will result in an error, “Failed to checkout roaming license. Failed to checkout the license for ASP. Reason:…
Beginning with version 2017.1 of LP360, users have the capability to edit the attributes (Add fields and values) of shapefiles. In LP360, fields are added/removed via the Schema Editor and values modified using Feature Analyst: The Schema editor is used to manage the fields of the shapefile, hence it is used to add/remove fields: A…
Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. Viewing uploaded images on the Reckon website is a great way to view orthomosaics and hillshades. If a user needs to download an image, to view it offline, or in LP360, this can be accomplished by downloading the image…
Classify by Features is a useful way of assigning classifications to points using a spatial relationship to other features. Any vector layer that exists in the Map can be used to classify points that are either within a specified distance of polygon, linear, or point features or any points completely within a polygon feature. 1.…
When importing adjusted photo heights into PhotoScan, the photo name is used to attach the adjusted image height to the photo in the PhotoScan project. The photo numbering system used by DJI aircraft starts at DJI_ 0001 and goes up to DJI_0999. When the number of photos exceeds DJI_0999, the photo count starts back over…
This workflow is for AirGon Drone Mapping Suite customers who do not use Loki and instead use ground control points for accuracy. To process images in PhotoScan using control points, it is important for the image heights to be relative to the same vertical datum as the control points. Some drone models cannot determine their…
One of the steps in AirGon’s PhotoScan processing workflow is to build a 3D mesh. The mesh building step usually consumes more memory than other steps in the workflow and can lead to a memory error if the capacity is exceeded. The source of this problem can sometimes be traced back to the selection of…
There are lots of drones to choose from for mapping purposes, but a couple of stand-outs from DJI are the Phantom 4 Pro and the Inspire 2. They both provide excellent flight times and they also have mechanical shutters. This is important to eliminate the geometric distortions inherent with electronic rolling shutters, which are typical…
Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. In addition to viewing orthos and other image layers in Reckon, users also have the option to download the layer to a local drive. The following steps describe the process for downloading an image layer from Reckon. Step 1 –…
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…
