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 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, which is our advanced LIDAR and point cloud processing software. 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.

Phillips’ Soil Products contacted AirGon for help with its quarterly product inventory of bark and pumice stockpiles. The company was struggling with its current inventory collection methods that they found were highly inaccurate, time consuming, dangerous and difficult. This case study will examine how AirGon Mapping Suite transformed Phillips’ Soil Products’ inventory routine to make it easier and more efficient. Read more...

Loki is AirGon’s third generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Post-Process Kinematic (PPK) direct geopositioning system for drones. Unlike other direct geopositioning systems on the market today, Loki supports, in “plug and play” fashion, the ubiquitous Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 2 drones from DJI. Loki turns these low-cost prosumer drones into high accuracy, professional mapping platforms. Read more...

The Lake Michigan shoreline has a coastal bluff that ranges in height from less than 20 feet to over 140 feet and experiences varying rates of erosion. In the mid-1970s, and again in the mid-1990s, the bluffs were measured using a hand-held inclinometer and tape to assess the bluffs’ slope stability. This case study takes a look at how we re-measured the bluffs relatively quickly and cost-effectively using LIDAR data in LP360. Read more...

The City of Franklin sought out our GIS department to help the city identify any buildings over three stories tall within city limits. This case study takes a detailed look at how we were able to use LIDAR data in LP360 to provide the height information needed for each structure. Read more...

When Hernando County Florida needed 3D model of the City of Brooksville, it turned to the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) office for help in getting the estimated building heights. This case study examines how they used LP360 to extract building elevation information from LIDAR data. Read more...
