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.
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…
An important aspect of planning and executing a small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) mapping project is planning and collecting ground control and check points. We are a software and systems company, not a services company so we have limited tools (and knowledge, for that matter) for carrying out this part of a mission. Nevertheless, we…
Several of us in the company are avid model airplane enthusiasts, actively flying various types of models. We have been debating the merits of fixed wing “flying wings” versus gliders. Which of these is the better mapping platform? In fact, I covered this topic from a stability point of view in a recent “Random Points”…
As we outlined in a previous “LP360 – Under the Hood”, we have added volumetric analysis to LP360. This feature was first released with 2013.2 at the end of last year with an enhanced version in our recent Experimental (EXP) release. An important element of the analysis associated with volumes is the generation of cross-sections.…
As most of you are aware, the United States has one of the world’s most restrictive policies for the operation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Rather than partition UAS into various categories based on the potential hazards to the National Air Space (NAS) and to persons/property, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has decided that government…
As we stand up our new small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) software and services subsidiary, we are exploring a wide range of technologies. So far, we have more questions than we have answers. We thought we would simply list some of these to give you an idea of our focus. We would be extremely interested…
This is the third installment in our series on the new Point Cloud Task (PCT) mechanisms introduced in LP360 version 2013.2 released in December of 2013. We have previously discussed the new Input/Output Manager (IOM) and the Conflate tool. We now will cover the Volumetric Analysis tools. First of all, allow me to mention that…
MS-DOS is short for Microsoft Disk Operating System and is a non-graphical command line operating system, which was eventually replaced by the Windows Operating System. While this original operating system is rarely used nowadays, the command shell known as the Windows Command Line is still used and recommended – particularly for batch processing. LP360 has…
