This article is a continuation of the discussion of breaklines in LP360 (the standalone version). In last month’s installment we discussed the overall concept of data modeling, especially the Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). In this installment, I will discuss the general concept of adding constraints in the form of breaklines to these models. Read more...

This document is extracted and heavily revised from a series of articles that I wrote in 2013. The big change is that, at that time, we only had enforcement in the standalone version of LP360. Now, we are essentially feature-complete with new tools in standalone LP360. Not only are all of the breakline creation tools present, but we also have a very rich set of 3D feature edit tools.

LP360 now has a full set of feature analysis and editing tools for working with the geometries of features – points, lines and polygons – in your project. This article discusses how LP360's feature analyst can be used to verify and analyze the results of building footprints extracted from your point cloud data. Read more...

The information in this article is meant to be a thought exercise, not a mathematically precise discussion, of the elements that affect photogrammetric accuracy. I find it quite useful for making “rule of thumb” decisions regarding accuracy planning. Read more...

One of the most common questions we are asked by our customers is, “how much data processing should I do myself?” Here, we break down the two major problems that companies often experience when they bring data processing in-house. Read more...

Since GeoCue Group Inc., is the North American reseller for Terrasolid’s software suite, we work with the majority of LIDAR production shops in the US and Canada. We continue to find that the Terrasolid Suite is a primary production tool. Amar Nayeggandhi, who is the Vice President of Geospatial Technology Services at Dewberry, tells us how Terrasolid continues to be a dominant tool in LIDAR production. Read more...
