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.

One use of the Classify by Feature functionality is that you can apply a buffer to the feature and reclassify the points that fall within the XY buffer. If you use the feature as a surface instead then it activates the buffer in the Z axis, instead of the XY. When your input shape is 3D…
In the last quarter of 2016, we introduced (under our AirGon brand) the Bring Your Own Drone (BYOD) Mapping Kit. This kit contains all the software one needs to turn a low-cost drone such as a Phantom 4 Pro or an Inspire 2 with x4s camera into a serious mapping platform. Our presales technical team…
LP360 is a family of point cloud exploitation tools for both native Windows (“standalone”) and the ArcGIS® desktop platform. LP360 for ArcGIS is the world’s most popular point cloud (such as LIDAR and dense image matching) visualization, editing and information extraction tool set for ArcGIS®. It is available directly from GeoCue Group Inc.1 (www.geocue.com) and…
As taken from the ArcView™ 3.2 Help System The ASCII Raster File format is a simple format that can be used to transfer raster data between various applications. It is basically a few lines of header data followed by lists of cell values. The header data includes the following keywords and values: ncols – number…
As taken from the ArcView™ 3.2 Help System The Binary Raster File format is a simple format that can be used to transfer raster data between various applications. It consists of two files, the IEEE floating-point file and a supporting ASCII header file. The header file must have the same name as the data file,…
In the standalone version of LP360, one may add raster files using the ‘Raster Tab’ of the ‘Add Files’ dialog. Then navigate to the desired Raster file(s). The following are the currently supported raster file formats: TIF (*.tif) JPEG (*.jpg) PNG (*.png) GIF (*.gif) BMP (*.bmp) MrSID (*.sid) JP2000 (*.jp2) ECW (*.ecw) IMG (*img) Binary…
