Exporting the Current Profile Line

About Exporting Profile Lines Sometimes it may be useful to export the current profile line to a file for use in other software applications. The Export Profile command will export the draped line to the current export file you specify. Learn more about setting up profile export How to Export Profile Lines Export Profile Command…

Profile Export Properties

About Profile Export Properties You must select an export file to export profiles to before exporting profiles. The current supported file formats are 3D Polyline Shapefiles, AutoCAD DXF, MicroStation DGN, and ASCII XYZ files. If a pre-existing file is selected, profiles are appended to that file. Otherwise a new file is created. If XYZ files…

Export Cross Section XYZ values

If you used the cross sections point cloud task in LP360 to automate the generation of your cross sections your only output options were Shapefile and DXF. What if I need those cross section XYZ values in another format. Option 1: Use the manual profile export available in the profile view to export your profiles.…

Redlining in Reckon

Reckon has been deprecated and replaced by LP360 Online, including the LP360 Portal and LP360 Cloud. AirGon Reckon (“Reckon”) is our cloud hosted collaboration portal for small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) or “drone” mapping. It has been designed from the ground up for scalability in the cloud. Hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS), it provides…

Monitoring Borrow Pit Volumes

Introduction: A borrow pit is an area where soil and/or rock is removed, added or both for use at some other location (for example, in obtaining fill dirt for highway construction projects). The arrangements for borrow pits usually requires auditing the amount of material change in the pit (volumetric change). A point cloud derived from…

Engineering vs Cartographic Contours

Contours are polylines that are used to connect locations of equal value and show how values change across a surface model. Most of the time, elevation values are associated with contours, but any continuous data can be used, for instance: precipitation, pollution or even atmospheric pressure. When talking about contours it is not uncommon to…

The Right PC for Point Cloud Processing

When you purchase a metric mapping kit from AirGon, you receive all of the hardware (sUAS and accessories) and software you need for planning, flying and processing a mission with the exception of two items: A PC on which to load the software applications The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment needed for collecting ground…

Volumetrics – Do it Right!

We have more and more customers computing volumetrics using LP360 in combination with point cloud data sets derived from Dense Image Matching (DIM). Note that I will use DIM to mean both the process of generating a point cloud from a dense set of overlapping images as well as the product point cloud itself. Thus…

Mid-Pulse Blues

We have been doing a lot of experimenting with various airplane and camera configurations for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). We are very interested in the effect of camera quality on metric analysis. For example, does a better lens yield a more accurate surface model when extracting a dense image matching point cloud using an…
