In LP360 Drone, formerly called TrueView EVO, the user has a number of options for post-processing the sensor trajectory solution for a TrueView, microdrones, or guest sensor. Here is a quick comparison chart of the options. For more details on each method click on the name in the header to take you to their descriptive posts.
| Single Base (Local) | Single Base (Cloud) | SMARTBase (Cloud Only) | PP-RTX (Cloud Only) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TrueView Business Model | Classic/Owned | Classic/Owned, Traditional, and Rental | Classic/Owned, Traditional, and Rental | Classic/Owned, Traditional, and Rental |
| Consumes LP360/True View Points* | No | Classic – Yes Traditional – No Rental – No | Yes | Yes |
| Availability | Moments after mission | Moments after mission | Highly dependent on the surrounding CORS stations for the solution. This could be available shortly after the flight, usually shortly past the hour, or could take up to 24 hours for the CORS station data to become available for download. | 1hr after mission |
| Horizontal Accuracy | 2-5cm *APX-15 UAV Spec Sheet | 2-5cm *APX-15 UAV Spec Sheet | 2-5cm *APX-15 UAV Spec Sheet (see note) | <3cm |
| Vertical Accuracy | 2-5cm *APX-15 UAV Spec Sheet | 2-5cm *APX-15 UAV Spec Sheet | 2-5cm *APX-15 UAV Spec Sheet (see note) | <6cm |
| Mission Duration | No Restrictions | No Restrictions | No Restrictions |
Standard RTX: 30 min for full accuracy Fast RTX: 10 min |

| True View Operational Considerations | POSPac desktop may only be used with owned systems | Good for user’s own base stations or single CORS close to the project area. | Verify complete project area falls within the network. Note: The accuracy for single base and SMARTbase is similar if the network of base stations for the SMARTbase are nicely distributed and baseline is not too far. | In areas where Fast RTX is not available, PP-RTX will not be a viable post-processing option if your drone does not allow for longer than 20 minute flights. We will be implementing a process in the future to accommodate this processing option. |
*Please note, for a “classic/owned” TrueView unit, post-processing the sensor trajectory using a local base station is done using POSPac Desktop and does not consume LP360 or TrueView Points. For a rental or traditional TrueView unit, post-processing is done using POSPac Cloud, even when using a local base station, but no longer consume TrueView Points. LP360 or TrueView Points are required for any type of system when using the cloud-based subscription processing options Applanix’ SmartBase (VRS) or Trimble PP-RTX instead of a local base station. Your LP360/TrueView Points pool can be managed and monitored using the web portal. Additional points can be purchased via the LP360 Store, Reckon portal or by contacting us directly. Purchased LP360/TrueView Points do not expire, but they cannot be refunded.
