A Framework for Control Strategies

We do a significant amount of Research and Development (R&D) in drone mapping.  Our AV-900 rotary wing system has an L1/L2 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that we run in the Post-Processed Kinematic mode.  This gives us the location of the AV-900 Survey System antenna to within a few centimeters relative to a local base…

Problem: Receive either a “Classify is Complete” or a “ClassifyByGeometry function fails” with an overall message, or by feature messaging, indicating “Geometry not within read/write loaded point extent (10075)”. Probable Resolution: The warning message indicates that the LAS files intersecting with the indicated feature are not open for read/write, hence, no classification based on that…
