GeoCue's Earth Sensor Portal gives users the capability to make an historical image archive available for browsing and download is an effective way to keep this type of valuable historical data alive. Read more...

GeoCue discusses new features to be added to processing software LP360 version 2020.1 Read more...

Terrasolid has been steadily adding new tools over the years to simplify the process of getting point clouds from other data sources into the product, for correcting the spatial information into real world coordinates, as well as adding more algorithms to work with a wider variety of point cloud datasets.

GeoCue 's True View 410 Drone LIDAR + Imagery sensor is available in two different business models, standard purchase or subscription. This article helps you decide which business model is the best fit for your company. Read more...

GeoCue evaluates most surveyors wants when surveying with drone LIDAR, but we take a closer look at surveyors want versus what they need. Read more...

GeoCue tests to see how well the True View 410 Imagery/LIDAR sensor (3D Imaging System, 3DIS) could perform when mapping relatively steep terrain. Read more...

Here are 5 important aspects to consider when building a business case for purchasing or subscribing/renting a 3D Imaging system, True View sensor. Read more...

GeoCue President and CTO, Lewis Graham, outlines drone mapping considerations for checking precision and accuracy using GeoCue's True View 410, 3D Imaging Sensor. Read more...

GeoCue presents a simple situation where a user wants to measure volume of a stockpile scenario to highlight basic volumetric analysis collected with 3D Imaging Sensor, True View 410 and processing with True View Evo. Read more...

We always realized the advantage of quick processing but now a few customers are as well. We have recently been involved in two separate operations where rapid “flight to data” was a requirement. Read more...

As an example, we will run ground classification on a highway project we recently flew for the Alabama Department of Transportation (AL DOT). During a heavy rain, a section of Alabama route 231 was heavily damaged by ground sliding under the pavement. We were asked to do a True View 410 flight and provide a ground model. Read more...

Do not be satisfied with only a network vertical accuracy report for your LIDAR data. This will only reveal horizontal issues if the check points were placed on sloped surfaces. Read more...

There are two True View-specific elements that have already been added to Reckon: managing True View Points and managing sensor calibration files. True View Points accounting is keeping up with the points you are automatically allocated (for subscriptions sensors) or purchase (for both owned and subscription sensors). These points are consumed for processing subscription model sensors and for certain ad hoc processing modes for “Owned” sensors. Read more...

The reason that we call the True View series an Ecosystem – you get all the components from GeoCue, including the full post-processing software stack and have a single contact for support. We do not sell you a single product; we provide you a complete end-to-end solution for producing high quality output analytics. Read more...

True View 3D imaging System (3DiS) use Applanix APX Position and Orientation Systems (POS). The POS is a GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation System that provides the precise position and orientation of the sensor at a rate of 200 observations per second. This information is needed to “geocode” LIDAR and determine the exterior orientation of images. Applanix supplies sophisticated software called “POSPac” for post-processing the POS data. POSPac is a rather complex software package so we (GeoCue) have wrapped POSPac (local or Cloud, depending on your business model) within our post-processing software, True View Evo. This reduces POS processing to a simple input wizard. Read more...

TerraScan and TerraPhoto have long had tools for creating 3D vector models from LIDAR, as well as nadir and oblique imagery. Terrasolid has continuously added to the toolset to make the process more efficient and expand the capabilities. The addition of automatic building and other above ground feature classification, along with automatic building vectorization and quality control workflows have made traditional airborne laser scanning useful for creating 3D city models for creating and updating city databases, including comparisons to existing city footprint information. Read more...

We keep emphasizing that the True View 410 is a 3D Imaging System (3DIS), not just a drone LIDAR system. So what exactly is a 3DIS? Well, we coined the term so we get to define the technology! Read more...

GeoCue Group President and CTO, Lewis Graham, discusses updates and development for Q1, including our 2019 achievements. Read more...

The release of the True View® 410 (Figure 1), our initial 3D Imaging Sensor (3DiS) has really exceeded my expectations. We migrated system production from our Research and Development (R&D) team to Manufacturing proper near the end of Q4-2019. We have a relatively smooth manufacturing workflow in place now and are working hard to build up a bit of “on the shelf” stock. So far, we have been selling/subscribing True View 410 systems as fast as we can manufacture them, a good problem to have! Read more...

The volume of geospatial data being collected by government agencies and private sector organizations presents significant challenges for cataloging and distributing the data to all interested stakeholders in a timely, cost-effective and responsive manner. Data repositories sitting on hard disk drives or requiring staff involvement to respond to requests to search for and deliver data to stakeholders are extremely inefficient, do not scale with demand and waste valuable resources during critical periods, such as post-disaster events. There is a clear need for a sophisticated, scalable solution for the storage, cataloging and on-line distribution of spatial data archives currently locked behind outdated – or often non-existent – data distribution methods.
