GeoCue Group President and CTO, Lewis Graham, discusses updates and latest happenings for October 2018 including recent conferences, YellowScan drone LIDAR systems, LP360 updates, and other projects we've been working on. Read more...

This is the fourth edition of our series on breaklines in LP360, our advanced LIDAR and point cloud processing software. In this edition, we will have a look at how features are represented in LP360 as well as the tools available for collecting “flat” breaklines. Read more...

This webinar will be a general overview of the AirGon drone mapping workflow. Read more...

GeoCue Group team member, Madelyne Loftin, talked to Timmons Group’s Chief Photogrammetrist, Connie Krampf about the tools that Timmons Group uses to create an environment where they can produce superior product deliverables. Read more...

GeoCue Group President and CTO, Lewis Graham, discusses updates and latest happenings for September 2018 including YellowScan drone LIDAR systems, LP360 updates, and other projects we've been working on. Read more...

Managing massive amounts of geospatial data can certainly be an intimidating task. This article discusses best practices to consider when choosing how to manage your mapping data. Read more...

In the last part of this series, we discussed in some detail how a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) can be constrained by features external to the point cloud model such as lines, points and polygons. In this month’s edition, we will look at contours and how LP360, our advanced LIDAR and point cloud processing software, can extract elevation information from point cloud data for assigning to the Z component of feature vertices. Read more...

A recent USGS addendum to the LIDAR Base Specification has stated that “User-defined entities will not be allowed for capturing specific geoid information in the WKT”. Read more...

Learn how to import control and/or check points in text format into LP360 for use in accuracy assessment. Read more...

Updates from our President, Lewis Graham, for August 2018. Read more...

This article is a continuation of the discussion of breaklines in the standalone version of LP360, our advanced LIDAR and point cloud processing software. 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 webinar will cover the approaches available to achieve high-accuracy results with low cost drone platforms. Read more...

Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms used by image -to-point cloud applications require strong overlap to create an accurate 3D model. Missions should be planned to include both forward overlap, and side overlap. Read more...

This paper will provide you with an overview of the different models that can be used for drone mapping with sufficient detail for you to make an informed choice. Read more...

This paper provides some background on what we have developed to date in regards to drone mapping, the lessons that we have learned and advice to companies considering adopting drone mapping. Read more...

This paper is an introduction to AirGon Mapping Suite (AMS), previously called the Bring Your Own Drone (BYOD) Mapping Kit. AMS contains all of the software components and training that you will need to conduct successful mapping operations using a DJI Phantom or Inspire. Read more...

The answer to this question will depend on the Structure from Motion software being used. The two primary components are the ability to use high-accuracy geotags and the ability to incorporate a camera calibration based on Brown’s Distortion Model. Read more...

Many sites have large-scale projected systems defined just over the local site, which does not match existing national and state grids. We refer to these as local coordinate systems, and while local easting and northing image locations can be input to PhotoScan, Pix4D, etc., those applications do not support converting geographic coordinates to local projected coordinates. Learn how to use the new Local Coordinate System Manager tool in AirGon's ASPSuite. Read more...

This webinar will be a general overview of the breakline capabilities within LP360. Read more...
