One of the “sweet spot” application areas for GeoCue’s True View 410 3D imaging Sensor for drone mapping is land development planning. We will consider the example of a general contractor who needs an accurate elevation model to provide the site works subcontractor. In this webinar, we will follow a True View workflow from mission planning through product generation for siting a new building on a heavily vegetated lot. This webinar will feature live demonstrations of the True View Evo software workflow as well as provide a few tips for successfully performing this type of drone LIDAR/Imaging mapping project.

Please join us for a presentation of the True View Evo post-processing workflow for GeoCue’s new True View 410 LIDAR/Imagery fusion sensor (3D Imaging Sensor). The workflow will begin with data transfer from the sensor and move through the steps required to produce a colorize, 3D LIDAR point cloud. In addition to the workflow demonstration, we will also discuss some of the derived products that can be generated within True View Evo. Read more...

Huntsville, AL – GeoCue Group is pleased to announce a partnership with Sumac Geomatics Incorporated, based in Thunder Bay, Ontario, as a Canadian distributor for GeoCue’s True View® integrated LIDAR/Imaging sensors for UAV/drone operations. Sumac Geomatics will be supporting True View customers in Ontario and Manitoba. GeoCue’s new True View product line provides integrated drone-based 3D LIDAR/Imaging sensors with full workflow software from data capture to product generation. The True View 410 is available for immediate delivery, with additional models being introduced later this year. True View sensors are available as a traditional equipment purchase or as an innovative Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) subscription model. 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.

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.

Wiregrass Construction has been using GeoCue’s drone imaging and analysis products since they were first introduced in 2013. Using Loki direct positioning system and LP360, Wiregrass has performed hundreds of site mapping missions for quarries, asphalt plants, and construction projects. Photogrammetry has been an invaluable tool, however on less active sites where stockpiles become overgrown with vegetation and overburden volumes need to be computed in vegetated areas, photogrammetry is not enough. These are clearly situations where LIDAR is the right tool for the job. Read more...

We all have Global Warming fatigue, but a look at the shoreline in very expensive neighborhoods of Miami Beach, Florida using a True View 3DiS really brings home the concern. The City of Miami Beach, one of our first True View 410 customers, is very concerned about the height of seawalls in its canal neighborhoods. Read more...
